Multiple abilities in one ability?

[Ruination]

Hey guys, once again, brand new at this . I don't seem to understand the point of having the buff fields under ability. The buff fields make no difference except the icon. Why can't I customize buffs? What I want is an ability that will slow the target, make the target invisible, give the target backstab of a damage multiplier of my choice for each level, and give the target rejuvination of my choosing for each level. How can I combine all these abilities into one?

Second question is an easy one, just not easy for me. How can I start my hero at a higher level than one? Under units, stats, level, I put something other than one but it doesn't change anything. I don't see an option for this under gameplay constants. Do I need a trigger for my hero to gain levels when the map loads? If so, can someone help me with such a trigger?

Thanks a lot!

That changes the amount of experience gained by that unit or hero.

If it is a pre-placed hero on the map you can just double click on the hero and change the level from there.

I dunno about the first abillity though.

Does that target enemies or allies?

I was able to change the hero level just like you said, thanks. I knew it was something easy

I'll specify a little more about my envisioned ability if that will help. It is like windwalk with increased regeneration, but slowed movement speed. It is cast upon the caster like windwalk is. It has my specifications for the backstab multiplier and the regen for each level--not just the generic stats. Also, I am trying to attatch a model to this ability that is a model of my hero that is all black. How can I make my hero turn all black when he activates this ability? I imagine it is something like making an all black version of my hero's model and putting that under the ability? I can't seem to get that to work.

Thanks!

You could change the windwalk's increased speed to negative by shift clicking on it then create a trigger to make a dummy cast a regeneration spell on your hero.

For the black part, I'm not really sure. Since I don't know if you can change the color tinting thingy with triggers.

Oh, the dummy trigger would be like this...

Unit casts abillity
abillity cast equals to XXX
Create XXX unit and set him to last created unit.
Order the last created unit to cast regeneration on the triggering unit

Thanks massinfantry.I am trying my best to work out this dummy caster but I can't get it. I've successfully made a druid of the claw appear by my hero when he uses his ability, but how do I make the druid invisible? Then how do I make him cast rejuv on my hero? I can't find that anywhere. Then how can I delete the druid aftward? I know I am noob )=

Oh and I was able to make the speed % negative by shift clicking.

Permanent Invisibility (change the auto-acquire targets to FALSE, otherwise it'll start attacking enemies on sight)

Put the druid into a unit variable and use triggers to manipulate it.

Easy way is to base it off a morph ability and just decrease the "Alternate Units" speed and increase it's regen. Give it perma-invis and an ability that does nothing but gives the rejuvination buff. Then make a backstab trigger with the codition.


unit type of (attacking unit) equal to <the alternate unit thing>

Thanks for the morph idea! I had not thought of that. That sounds like it will work, thanks

On second thought...how can I include levels into this? I would want him to morph into a unit with higher regeneration for each level learned.
