Adding skills with more than one level to non-hero

[mastah_]

should adding a skill with more than one level (Trough trigger) to a non-hero unit cause it to not actually add? because i have a trigger that adds an ability to it that is based on brilliance aura but for some reason it dosn't work
its a dummy skill so it gives no mana regen or anything and targets allowed is set to Self only i created custom buffs but i don't see a problem with them it could me my ability but as far as ican see it should work fine


my trigger is this:

Enter
    Events
        Unit - A unit enters LastBossStart <gen>
    Conditions
    Actions
        Trigger - Turn on Boss Enrage1 <gen>
        Trigger - Turn on Enrage Check1 <gen>
        Trigger - Turn on Health <gen>
        Unit - Remove Cargo Hold (Orc Burrow) from (Triggering unit)
        Wait 2.00 seconds
        Unit - Unpause FinalBoss 0106 <gen>
        Unit - Order FinalBoss 0106 <gen> to Attack (Triggering unit)
[B]    Unit - Add Enrage 1  to FinalBoss 0106 <gen>
        Unit - Add Disoriented  to FinalBoss 0106 <gen>[/B]
        Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

the bolded part is the actually ability giving bit

Yes you can give Hero-Abilities to normal units, you can also modify the level of the ability with triggers even if it's a non-hero. I don't know what you're doing wrong though.

ok tried it on a unit i control and it worked (given and recieved buff) so could it be that my finalboss is Neutral hostile??

Doesn't matter the owner, you can add abilities to anyone.

that do u know what a possible reason would be why i can't add a ability to a unit but i can to another?

 

[Cidzero]

A) The unit doesn't have the mana for the ability.
B) The ability's requirements aren't met
C) You didn't test enough to see it used.

 

[mastah_]

a) does the unit still need mana even if the ability is set to 0 mana cost?
b) such as?
c) should notice it there since it gives a buff icon

 

[Cidzero]

a) no
b) Moon Glaive Upgrade
c) If it is an aura, make sure the fields are marked properly, make sure everything is correct...

b) Moon Glaive Upgrade

dependencies?


and as far as i can tell its set to work properly and since it works on another unit i don't see why it shouldn't on my other one ...

    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) types '-test' as An exact match
    Conditions
        Level of <Your Spell> for <Your Unit> Greater than 0
    Actions
        Display "Unit has ability" to All Players

You could use that to test whether it's being added or not.

Errr... Your boss is a building? Use Ziggy's method to test.

Enter
    Events
        Unit - A unit enters LastBossStart <gen>
    Conditions
    Actions
        [B]Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)[/B]
        Trigger - Turn on Boss Enrage1 <gen>
        Trigger - Turn on Enrage Check1 <gen>
        Trigger - Turn on Health <gen>
        Unit - Remove Cargo Hold (Orc Burrow) from (Triggering unit)
        Wait 2.00 seconds
        Unit - Unpause FinalBoss 0106 <gen>
        Unit - Order FinalBoss 0106 <gen> to Attack (Triggering unit)
        Unit - Add Enrage 1  to FinalBoss 0106 <gen>
        Unit - Add Disoriented  to FinalBoss 0106 <gen>

Though, irrelevant to the questionbut I think you should put the turn off trigger at the beginning. Should be better that way.
