Alright so, this is what I concluded from basic observations in the object editor and game play constants.
If you look under the stats field for a unit in the object editor, you will see the following field:
Stats - Level > 1
And under the HeroXP fields in the gameplay constants:
Hero XP Gained - Normal, Level Factor > 5.0
So basically, if you enter a level for a unit that is zero or less than zero (need to shift+enter such values), the unit will yield no experience rewards due to the multiplication by zero.
Note: I don't suggest entering a value that is less than zero, I have not observed tested such numbers for any side effects.
Though, unfortunately, I could not reproduce this manipulation for heroes. By default, the level factor for a hero's experience reward is 0.0.
I tried setting the factor to 1.0, and even a higher number later, in combination with setting the "level" of the hero to 0, as well as a negative in hopes for a bug; nothing seems to work for the heroes.
Does what I suggested not work for a specific unit?
Not to mention that "specific unit" is ambiguous in itself, so neither of us know exactly what Squeekems meant.
Though, I admit "specific unit" as in "a unique unit of a specific unit type" makes more sense now.
But back to the rhetorical question I asked you earlier... my method also works for a "specific unit."
A simple work-around for this would be to create a new unit in object editor that emulates another unit type in appearance and such; and then edit the 'Stats - Level' field in the object editor for this emulation-unit to 0, and viola. It works, albeit not the most efficient method, but if Squeekems plans on only having a few of these units of unique unit type, then it should be acceptable.
Sorry about being ambiguous about "specific unit." I should have included "-type" at the end of that. <(o_- )>
Yeah, that should work! I tried setting the unit level below 1 for the multiplication, but I forgot to hold shift+enter. <( >_<)> Thanks for taking a look.
I noticed a problem with my map when my friend starfalled on a large group of level one units that don't fight back, and immediately reached the max level.
I'm on a page about incorrect corrections, and spent the better part of like two hours trying to get someone to understand that -5^2 = -25, not 25, and then that post had comments get reposted because that group is self sustaining, and that person was in turn trying to explain what I just explained to them. And I'm taking that as a victory
I will be AFK for a couple of days you guys hold down the fort while I am gone. I will be checking in on my phone but that will severly limit me. Be back saturday!
I just got to watch the video because even though I was there I was trying to work out tech problems with the chat since I was the social media guy so I was distracted but check it out guys the video is super fucking great!
