modify ability cost (possible?)

[MissKerrigan]

Hello,

I finally created an ability which cost 25 minerals, but everytime the ability is used, it must cost 25 more minerals (25-50-75-100-125 etc...)

note: if there are 4 players in the game, then the ability of other players must be still 25 cost till they use the ability

Does anyone know how this works?

Make a trigger that triggers when the ability is used and use the action "Catalog Field value set" to do the following: "Set value of Abilities *YourAbility* Cost[0].Vital[0] for player (Triggering Player) to X"

X is a string, so to add 25 you have to first find the current mineral cost, convert it into an integer, add 25 and convert it back into a string. You can use the function "Catalog Field Value Get As Integer" to get the current cost.

So to add 25 to the mineral cost of Ghost cloak, the action would look something like this:

" Catalog - Set value of Abilities GhostCloak Cost[0].Vital[0] for player (Triggering player) to (String(((Value of Abilities GhostCloak Cost[0].Vital[0] for player (Triggering player) as an integer) + 25)))
"

Uhm, well I remember this being told to you several times, anyway;

You are working in a code program, which means that all the names have specific meanings. That being said a String is a piece of text reference. (This is not the whole truth, but google it if you must).

What Siretu told you is very simple, he just took a good amount of time explaining it very clearly. So please, for not wasting Siretu's time, at least try.

I never said I'm wasting Siretu's time, ofcourse I will try it

(at this moment, you are wasting my time)

I am not wasting your time by telling you to try it.

If you say; "oh it's too complicated" that leads us to belive that you gave up on the idea, and wont use what we spend time on writing. That, seems to us, as if we are wasting our time helping you.

And if you think I am wasting you time, then I dont see why I should waste my time helping you.

Please note that I am not trying to sound like an angry dad scolding his kid, I'm just trying to make you see it from our point of view.

I said 'thanks, but it sounds complicated' (pls look closer)
