non-hero leveling

[dondonda]

hey guys! what i am trying to create is a system where every time a non-hero unit kills an enemy unit, the killing unit gains 1 Damage to its base and 10 hp to its base. I really need a trigger to help me with this system and i dont need unit ranks included (private,major..etc).
thanks in advance!

Make an ability based of the item ability of claws of attack with about 1000 lvls or sth like that, then whenever the unit kills another increase its level by 1.

hm i dont think that this works with life bonus abilities, but you can try it

Yeah i think i could use then try to do the same with gem of health. Although i am pretty new to JASS/trigger writing so how could you write a a trigger so the level goes up according to the amount of units killed.

event - a unit is dies
conditions - killing unit is an enemy of dying unit
actions - 
set level of (attack spell) to (level of attack spell + 1) for killing unit
set level of (hp spell) to (level of hp spell + 1) for killing unit

something like that

something like that

I tested out this trigger by adding the abilities to a unit but i have encountered a serious glitch!:banghead: Whenever i try to train the unit with the abilities the whole warcraft program shuts down sending me a message that i have encountered a Fatal Error involving Warcraft III Frozen Throne. I dont know what the problem is but can some pleaaase help me!! is there something missing in the trigger?!?

I think you can't set item ability levels (not so sure about this, some can set while some cannot). So, you just need to add the abilities one by one instead of giving the abilities different levels. Hope I'm right (trying it now).

Triggers would definitely lag less than a custom ability with 1000 levels. Probably under unit - set property. Not sure if you can do it with damage, though. They do it in RP maps ;P

I think you can't set item ability levels

Then make it a unit ability (it can be done in object editor, just untick the box "item ability")
The fact that it is an item ability given to units is also probably what is making it crash.

If you don't need to "unlevel", then just use upgrades.

animal war training and any attack+ upgrade.

Yeah I know that. What I meant was some item abilities can't be leveled up. Even if you level up, the effect is not there.

Not sure about the upgrades. Upgrades work for players right? Not single units? Not sure. Have not used it before.

>So, you just need to add the abilities one by one instead of giving the abilities different levels. Hope I'm right (trying it now).
It doesn't work .

 

[dondonda]

Yeah, i tried using the unit ability Engineering Upgrade and instead of using triggers to level up the ability i tried setting it equal to the custom value of the unit and raising the custom value per kill. It didn't work. My Warcraft Window still shutsdown. I even tried adding the ability to a unit once it kills another enemy unit but still had same the reoccurring problem. Can someone please test this out and a solution! It would be a great help!

and for the upgrade thing, i need it for single units not entire player groups, and i dont really want to make separate upgrades for every unit in my map.
thanks anyways

            Else - Actions
                Unit - Increase level of Item Damage Bonus (+1) for (Killing unit)

Tested it. This works . In terms of the adding damage, the item ability must have many levels, which is not so efficient. (Unless there is a limit in the damage incremennt). I mean, if a unit kills 1000 units, then the damage becomes 1000. So you'll need at least 1000 levels =.=.

Thanks a ton and i only need around 50 levels or so, so it shouldn't be so hard.

Hey well ive ran into another problem with this trigger.:banghead:
heres what i got but i am trying to make it so that if any player owned unit (red for ex.) kills any other given player unit (ex. blue) that the trigger will still work. Right now this trigger only works if a unit kills a Neutral Hostile or Player owned unit that already placed on the map using WE.
