i have attached the sample map here...

* triggers Nighttime and Daytime are NOT initially on.
** HitN_Level is an Integer variable.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THESE? HELP!

ok, lets take the daytime trigger for example (the one with periodic event)

sets the level of night-time HITN as a variable, seems fine
removes the night-time HITN ability from the hero
adds the day-time HITN ability
sets the level of that as a variable

note part 1 and 2. every second of gametime while that trigger is on, you are setting the level of NIGHT-TIME hunter in the night. but, you forget, it was removed from the hero!
so, you are setting the level of a spell the hero doesnt have and assigning that level to another spell, so ur essentially setting it to level 0, which cant be done so its bumping itself up to 1

seems VERY excesive to me... rough thoughts as
variable: 1,2,3,4 based on lvl of skill
every 1 second of game
if time of day equal to ___
then
set level of skill to (variable)
else
if time of day equal to ___
..
and so forth,
using lvl 5 as a dummy of the spell with no bonuses while its (daytime)

i didn't realize that earlier, thnx and i added action to turn off the nighttime/daytime trigger
when it's done, now it does not reset it's level to 1, but if i level it up during daytime, the hero
learns BOTH skills.

using lvl 5 as a dummy of the spell with no bonuses while its (daytime)

hmm.. right, how will i do that?

however, if i leveled up the skill to 4, the dummy skill (level 5) will still show

on research buttons, and leveling it up would remove the bonuses of the buff.



one more thing: if the dummy skill would work, how can i remove the endurance aura model
and during daytime and appear only during nighttime?

 

[Flare]

heres an idea, make a second aura based on HITN, with 1 extra level. all levels will have 0% bonus. at daytime, set the new aura's level to HITN level + 1 (higher aura level takes priority i believe) so you will gain 0% speed bonus. then, at night-time, set the aura to level 1

ah! now i get it! i saw a map with skill based onhunter in the night!
i have one more thing to ask: how can i hide a skill icon?

(so it will not show on hero's command/skills set)

anyways, here's the code:

            Loop - Actions
                Unit - Add Hunter in the Night (Night skill) to (Picked unit)
