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.

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.

    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
