Adding hero abilities makes them 'trained'

[Devrak]

So, I have made a system where you buy items from shops that you then turn into abilities, much like custom hero line wars. I have one problem though, when I add the abilities to the hero they become 'trained' as if you already had spent skill points on them. I do not want this to happen because it kinda ruins the purpose, so is there any other way to do it other then 'unit - add ability'?

Can you set the ability level to 0?

I'm afraid not. :/

Ask the creators I suggest.

              • Else - Actions
      • Else - Actions

So first I need to do:

1. Create the spell, an Engineering Upgrade version of it, and a Spellbook for it.

2. When the unit acquires the item version of the spell, I need to add the spellbook version of the ability to the unit. Does the spellbook have the 'real' ability in it, and in a non-hero version because I can't seem to add hero abilities in the spellbook?

3. I can't quite understand that part with the loop, for each integer 1 to 4.

4. Then what, so everytime my hero levels he will have the engineer ability to level it up? :/

Argh! Can you explain in more detail please, because this is wierd. :banghead: Would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: and it would be cool if you could show the ulti trigger too!

x] ok.... lez break it down a lil

first you need to create four spells that do nothing. name then something like..empty slot.. if you want you can just copy them from the map ill link at the end.

1.yes,a spellbook, an engineering version,spell,and an item are needed
2.the spellbook contains the engineering for the spell.
3.the engineering...lol...after opening the map and looking threw it for like an hour trying to remember how it worked i realised..there is a tutorial for this.. xD
