Will this work?

• Blizzard
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit owned by Player 1 (Red) Uses an item
  • Conditions
    • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Blizzard
  • Actions
    • Hero - Learn skill for (Triggering unit): Blizzard

Will that work if I have a custom item named Blizzard in a shop?

I want to know because I was fooling around with a new concept for a Hero Wars or Hero Arena where you build your character from the bottom up.

 

[Karaterat]

yes i belive it would. but if the item called "blizzard" is not a scroll, or doesnt perish upon buying, then you could easily drop it and still have the ability

 

[HellslayerX15]

he doesn't want to get the ability when buying it, he wants it when using the item
and yes it would work but the spaces for abilites is rather limited

 

[Karaterat]

if he wants it when he uses item then why would he be using triggers..

 

[Pharaoh_]

Keraterat, learn some triggering first, please.
Is there any ability in the Object Editor, that, when used with an item, it automatically learns Blizzard for you?
The answer is a no, of course, so, he will need triggering.
Buhlistik, it will work, yes.

 

[UreDe4D]

Just a guess, but wouldn't this only work if the Hero unit already has the ability, though not learned it yet. I mean i don't know your hero, but afaik if you put a blank hero with no abilitys on him and use this trigger, i doubt it will work. If it does, i was wrong, if it doesn't, add the action "Unit - add Ability Blizzard to Triggering Unit" before the "learn Skill action"

 

[Acutesharpness]

try using

a unit starts the effect of an ability

condition: the item spell name

action: add blizzard

by using item being manipulated ur condition won't work and it's not efficent anyway

Since there is only 7 ability spaces (others taken by move, defend, patrol, attack and stand ground) You might want to add a variable to tell the player there are no spell slots left.

Blizzard
Events
Unit - Unit uses in item
Conditions
Item being manipulated is equal to blizzard (item ability)
Actions
If, then, else (multiple actions)
_If
__Abilitynumber(REAL) is less than 7
_Then
__Add ability blizzard (hero) to triggering unit
__Set abilitynumber(REAL) to (abilitynumber(REAL) + 1)
_Else
__Add item blizzard (actual item) to triggering unit
__Send game message --You already have too many abilities and have been given your spell item back--

Sorry for bad layout. May not have wording 100% accurate.
