How to add abilities to heros

[Xain]

How can I add an aiblity to a hero, not just a regular one, but one that goes into the Heros Abilities and thus I can level it up. Kinda like Custom Castle Defence, I want to allow people to choose there own abilities.

you could use a shop that sells units
the units will have the same name,description and icon as the spell
then make a trigger
when a unit is purchased
if the unit type is UNITX
then add SPELLX to purchasing unit
if it is unit type UNITY
then add SPELLY to purchasing unit
etc
then remove the purchased unit

Give me a sec.
I got a link of Baka Ranger the guy who made CustomHeroLineWars
Best tutorial for custom ability choosing.

just add it via a trigger like you normally would, and if the ability you added was a hero ability, then it would do what you just said, if it's not, then it would be added as a normal ability

Do like Baka-ranger did. It's the best tutorial i ever saw in terms of ability choosing.

hmm
what happens if you set the level of blizzard to 0 after you add it to the unit?

try looking at that map he is talking about if that doesnt work

there has to be a easier way to do this, im trying to replace abbilities but dont know how.

 

[simonake]

For each integr A do 4 atcions
loop
Set the level of ability to Integer A

 

[simonake]

Does the Integer A works?
