Help with hero custom lvl

[0WN3D]

okay...This is really bugging me.. Basicly I have a tavern that sells heroes. I want a special mode that when the hero is bought, it will be at a set level. This is my trigger
<Problem Solved!>
The problem is the text that is suppose to be shown says LVL0 Mode. And the hero is still lvl 1 when i bought it. Can anyhelp me with this?


Edit: Another problem i faced. I have a unit that has a spell base on Ka-Boom( Goblin Zapper). I have a trigger to create the exploding effect( flame Strike) but it is too small. Soo i cr8 a new unit that has its model but scaling scale of 3. But somehow the explosion effect is not cr8ed. heres the trigger

• Human Bomb
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Human Bomb
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Human Bomb Explosion for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at (Position of (Casting unit)) facing Default building facing degrees

 

[Weep]

Shouldn't it be:

• Set CustomHeroLvl = (Integer((Substring((Entered chat string), 10, 12))))

?

Refer to this tutorial.

why not making a dummy unit without a model and making it cast a custom flamestrike without dmg. then you should be able to increase the size of the flamestrike by changing the AoE

 

[0WN3D]

ERm... I dont think so... I want to increase the size of the explody effect, not the aoe. And i dont think i can increase the effect size by chaning the aoe.

 

[Mahrloc]

well, yes you can, i think . but i haven't got a WE here so i can't check it out... you should definitely test it, because it would be the easiest way i could imagine.

 

[0WN3D]

sorry to disappoint you dood. I tested it and the flame strike effect is still the same size dood.

 

[Mahrloc]

hmm okay... how about the "unit - special" of the altar of the humans as the special effect

/edit: if that one's not okay then maybe try to cast multiple flamestrikes around the targeted point

 

[0WN3D]

Though its a nice effect.... but i cant scale it up. sorry for the late reply, was looking at Jupiter yesterday night...

 

[Mahrloc]

as i've said, if the effect is not big enough, create multiple ones around the target point; this way you will have a bigger effect

Cant you just increase the AOE of Kaboom?

 

[0WN3D]

Mahrloc: I just wan 1 big flame strike effect because it will look kinda wierd having multiper explosion when there is only 1 bomb.

NeuroToxin: I change the aoe and it damages equals to that aoe, but the special effect size remains the same. That means if the effect size is 300 but the damage radius is 600.

bumpity bump

Create a dummy unit with the model you want and increase the size
(dummy unit needs Locust and no shadow)

 

[0WN3D]

thats wat i did. but the unit will not be cr8ed. i dunno y. It is posted in the 1st post.

 

[X-maul]

uhmmm.. so your problem is not that the flamestrike effect is too small, but that the dummy does not get spawned? If thats it, then please show us your trigger

 

[0WN3D]

It is in my 1st post or thread.

• Human Bomb
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Human Bomb
  • Actions
    • Set TempPoint = Position of (Triggering unit)
    • Unit - Create 1 Human Bomb Explosion for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at TempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Add 2 seconds Generic Expiration timer for (Last created unit)
    • Custom Script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

it should look something like this
(It's written free hand)

 

[0WN3D]

The onli difference from my trigger is that you remove the leak and i tested it too but it didnt work.... Ps: I dont believe you did it free hand. It was perfectly the same...

oh yea... I have another trigger like this one but it works perfectly...
Free Hand also

• Event - A unit Starts a effect
  • Condition - Ability Cast = Kaboom!
  • Action - Special Effect - Create sepcial effect attached to the origin of Casting Unit using Abilities\Spells\Human\FlameStrike\Flamestrike1.mdl

Edit:!!! New Findings! When i use special effect action instead of create unit, it works perfectly. Now i need to know why and how to make it work to create units.

 

[X-maul]

The problem might be that it does create the unit, but that it does not getting showed - try to change the model of the unit to something like.. Peasant or similar so that you can see if gets spawned
