Disable leanring new abilities

Hi, I have a character that can shapeshift. When he's in human form he has arrow spells, and when he shapeshifts he has melee abilities. I've set it to detect the level of the ranged abilities and make the melee abilities the same level upon shapeshifting (For example, Hail of Arrows is level 2. When he shapeshifts, he learns Frenzy and it becomes level 2. Hail of Arrows is removed)

Unfortunately, if I level up as my melee form I can still learn Hail of Arrows. Is there any way to disable learning new spells while in melee form?

I hope that's understandable ~.~
 
1:Make a custom boolean value, when the ability is used to change into an animal, make the value true, when you change back, make it false.

2: make a trigger


Events
Unit learns a skill

Conditions
And multiple...
Ability being learned is equal to hail of arrows
animal form is equal to true

Actions
Remove Hail of arrows from your unit

Removing the ability via triggers

Trigger:
  • AbilitiesTo
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit owned by Player 1 (Red) Starts the effect of an ability
    • Conditions
      • ((Ability being cast) Equal to Shapeshift ) and ((Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Ranger)
    • Actions
      • Set HailFrenzyLvl = (Level of Hail of Arrows for (Triggering unit))
      • Unit - Remove Hail of Arrows from (Triggering unit)
      • Wait 4.90 seconds
      • Unit - Add Frenzy to (Triggering unit)
      • Unit - Set level of Frenzy for (Triggering unit) to HailFrenzyLvl

Trigger:
  • AbilitiesFrom
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit owned by Player 1 (Red) Starts the effect of an ability
    • Conditions
      • ((Ability being cast) Equal to Shapeshift ) and ((Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Dragon)
    • Actions
      • Set HailFrenzyLvl = (Level of Frenzy for (Triggering unit))
      • Unit - Remove Frenzy from (Triggering unit)
      • Wait 4.90 seconds
      • Unit - Add Hail of Arrows to (Triggering unit)
      • Unit - Set level of Hail of Arrows for (Triggering unit) to HailFrenzyLvl


The wait time is purely aesthetic, I have a shapeshifting animation that takes that long.
 
Hold on...Let me make the trigger in the editor quickly

Trigger:
  • Cancel Ability
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Learns a skill
    • Conditions
      • And - All (Conditions) are true
        • Conditions
          • (Learned Hero Skill) Equal to Hail of Arrows
          • Dragonform Equal to True
    • Actions
      • Unit - Remove Hail of Arrows from (Learning Hero)
      • Unit - Set level of Frenzy for (Learning Hero) to ((Level of Frenzy for (Learning Hero)) + 1)


Removing abilities from the hero research list is difficult (not even possible as far as I know), but I am pretty sure the player will understand that researching hail of arrows will level up it's melle counter part.
 
How about you, give the hero all abilities. Frenzy and Hail of Arrows.
Then in the human form, Disable Frenzy for Player(1), when he shapeshifts, enable Frenzy and disable Hail of Arrows, wont work with passive abilities, you'd have to remove them from the unit as it shapeshifts, as you're doing now. But you can still make it so that it'll show up as learning Frenzy instead of Hail of Arrows in the skill tree, I think.
I haven't tested it, but it seems logical right?
I'll make an example in a second.
 
Here:
Trigger:
  • Disable when Player receives Ranger
    • Events
      • Map initialization
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • -------- Event depends on how he gains the Ranger. --------
      • Set InitGroup = (Units in (Playable map area))
      • Unit Group - Pick every unit in InitGroup and do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            • If - Conditions
              • (Unit-type of (Picked unit)) Equal to Ranger
            • Then - Actions
              • Player - Disable Frenzy for (Owner of (Picked unit))
              • Trigger - Add to Shapeshift <gen> the event (Unit - (Picked unit) Starts the effect of an ability)
              • Trigger - Add to Shapeshift Back <gen> the event (Unit - (Picked unit) Starts the effect of an ability)
            • Else - Actions
      • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_InitGroup)


Trigger:
  • Shapeshift
    • Events
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (Ability being cast) Equal to Shapeshift
          • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Ranger
        • Then - Actions
          • Player - Disable Hail of Arrows for (Owner of (Triggering unit))
          • Player - Enable Frenzy for (Owner of (Triggering unit))
          • Unit - Set level of Frenzy for (Triggering unit) to (Level of Hail of Arrows for (Triggering unit))
        • Else - Actions


Trigger:
  • Shapeshift Back
    • Events
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (Ability being cast) Equal to Shapeshift
          • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Green Dragon
        • Then - Actions
          • Player - Disable Frenzy for (Owner of (Triggering unit))
          • Player - Enable Hail of Arrows for (Owner of (Triggering unit))
          • Unit - Set level of Hail of Arrows for (Triggering unit) to (Level of Frenzy for (Triggering unit))
        • Else - Actions
 
That will hide the ability from the hero's research list? It's quite a bit longer than mine, but I guess it works beter.. although, the two shift triggers should be combined into one.

That works fantastically!

The player should understand because the Research tooltip for Hail of Arrows mentions that it also levels the "Frenzy" ability in dragon form.

You rock! :D
 
@Idontknowyou, I purely split it into 2 triggers for readability :D
@Ringleader, if you used the one I made, it would show up as Frenzy when the shapeshifter are in Dragon Form, and it'd show as Hail of Arrows in the normal form.

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out

    Hopefully this won't cause problems.

    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.

    See how we like that.

    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
