Hero Abilities - higher than level 3?

[bloojays]

Hello!
First of, I am sorry if I do any error, my english is not quite perfect! I think


So here it comes:
After a small planning, I decided to start making a singleplayer campain for the Frozen throne. I made the basic heroes selectable, thanks to the tavern tutorial, and right after, I was about to change/make the abilities when I noticed there is only 3 skill levels editable in the normal WorldEdit.

I made a quick search over the forum (Blame me if there is one I didn't find, but I really did search), but found nothing about this. :banghead:

How can I make abilities higher than level 3?

I played HeroCraft Map, and noticed it creates a usable item each time u select a skill from the npcs, and after using this item, you get an additional level of the specific skill.

Can anyone give me a small explanation on this system? (if I can not make the abilities go higher than 3 with the normal level system, that is! )

Thank you

Yes you can make ability levels higher than 3. Just go to this feild: Stats - Levels and change that to how many levels you want for that ability. But you will have to scroll down and change the data to fit in with the levels.

That item is probly based off a tome. Just create a dummy tomb item that does absolutly nothing and then create a trigger to go along with it. Life so:

Item Give Level
    Events
        Unit - A unit Uses an item
    Conditions
        (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to (Your Item Here)
    Actions
        Item - Remove (Item being manipulated)
        Unit - Increase Level of (Ability Here) for (Hero manipulating item)

when you are making the ability in the editor, scroll down until you find the field "Stats - Levels" this determines how many levels the ability has, modify this value to how many levels you want the ability to have

Dont know about RoC version but in TFT you do this:
Open the object editor (F6)
Go to the tap abilities
Choose the ability you want to change number of levels
Look after the field that reads this "Stats - Levels"
Change the vaule to what you want
Next you have to change the upgrading for each level (ie how much damage/manacost ect each level should have)

Hope that helped. My english is worse than yours

-Edit- LOL i was thierd, but I writed most

Okay, this will work, but I Thought about it...
if I used the normal Skill level (the little + icon each time your hero level), the hero would have every single skill listed in there since I want him to be able to choose any...

So I really need the npcs to give a usable item to increase the level... Or could a building have the skills levelable at a cost? I read that somewhere on this forum...

I guess that I can just change the model and the collision they take in the map to save place...?

Thank you for the fast replies though! That is the first step to what I want to do

Edit: about your english... LOL! if you say so but it was really detailed

Edit2: Thank you player 11! I will check this out ASAP! any other reply is appreciated though
