Adding skills to Heroes via trigger and make them learnable?

[Lightstalker]

When I add a skill to a Hero, it is added but isn't learnable (meaning you can't learn it via the red cross). How would I do this? I know custom hero line wars managed to do it and so did a few other maps.

Help greatly appreciated.

Not sure if this will work, haven't tested it in-game, just set whatever events/conditions you feel fit and then add these actions.

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Hero - Learn skill for (Learning Hero): Acid Bomb
    • Hero - Modify unspent skill points of (Learning Hero): Set to 1 points

You can create a new hero using last killed heroes items, hp , exp but that would be a lot of work

Yes , that's right in this forum every day you you learn something useful whitch you did not know until that morning :thup:

in hero line wars, they use the tinker ability (dont know the name, the 3rd one which improves his other skills) which replaces a dummy ability with the new hero ability. They then disable the tinker ability for the player. That way the hero can learn the abilities.
But you have to create 2 abilities (one normal and the tinker thing) and 4 dummy abilities (some item abilities, or channel with no visibility) for this to work.

Thats because Light Stalker you'll need a trigger like:

• Learn Abillity
  • Events
    • Time - Times Up expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - pick every unit in (playable map area) matching (Matching Unit) is a hero equal to true and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • For each integer A from 1 to 4
          • Loop - Actions
            • If all (Conditions) are true, then do (Actions)
              • If (Conditions)
                • (Picked Unit) has item-type in slot Integer A Acid Bomb
              • Then (Actions)
                • Item - Remove item Acid Bomb from (Picked Unit)
                • Hero - Learn skill for (Picked Unit): Acid Bomb
                • Hero - Modify unspent skill points of (Picked): Set to 1 points
              • Else (Actions)

Takes ages but gets it done. I believe this is how Custom Hero Line Wars did it
OFFTOPIC: I like this trigger because (like many) it is freehand =D

@ Hydra Rancher:

I believe he wants to give a hero a ability and make it learnable which the hero doesnt have from the beginning and if so your trigger will fail. (Test it if you dont believe me)


Take a look at my post above.

So what do I do?

Do I need 2 abilities per spell?

The Tinker ability you are referring to is Engineering Upgrade. If you read THIS it will explain how to do what DonRoman was talking about.

You will have to modify the triggers used in this tutorial a bit but it shows you everything you need to make it work. I hope this helps.

Well that tinker thing doesn't work as I thought it would but nvm. I made my own system after much thinking. Thanks for the help everyone.
