Disabled Spellbook

So I have an passive aura ability based off devotion aura. I dont want the icon to show up in the unit's spellcard when it is given the ability so I thought i'd go with the disabled spellbook trick.

If im not mistaken this works by putting the passive ability in the spellbook and then giving the unit the spellbook ability. OH and you have to disable the spellbook ability for all players at map init (using 'call SetPlayerAbilityAvailable(p,'A005',false)' I assume)

My question is, how you you change the level of the passive ability on the unit? I would assume changing the level of the spellbook ability for the unit wouldnt work so would you change the ability level of the passive ability for the unit? (even thought he technically doesnt even have it).

I'd test this but I'm at work so i figuired i'd get you guys's help =p.

Yes, do test it, but if it's unsuccessful, maybe you could take the spell out of the spellbook, level it up, then put it back in. Also you could try making more than one ability, each one better than the last instead of having separate levels. Then you should be able to remove one and replace with a better one.

> Is that even possible?

I don't know. You'd have to give the ability to the unit, then level it up, but I don't know if the level would stay when you put it in the spellbook.

I'm pretty sure you can just use the triggers to level it up, i.e [set level of "your ability" to current level of "your ability" + 1]

Actually, you have to specify a unit:

Code:
Unit - Set level of <Ability> for <Unit> to 1

well yeah, but i assume he wants it when the hero learns a dummy skill so he can add tooltips etc etc,

so you can simply reference the unit.

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
