Problems with letting a UNIT acquire a HERO spell

[Progesterone]

Dear all, I am creating a custom unit from a UNIT-based unit and not a HERO-based unit, for example, a knight. I need it to acquire certain hero spells BUT there are only 2 relevant columns in object editor when i click that new unit i've created : ABILITIES : DEFAULT ACTIVE ABILITY and ABILITIES : NORMAL. The second field ONLY has UNIT and ITEM SPELLS, BUT NO HERO SPELLS TO CHOOSE FROM. So how do I choose HERO spells for my custom unit (which is chosen from a UNIT and NOT a HERO) ?

If you are saying what I think you're saying (which btw with all the irrelavent capital letters made it hard to read) you want a unit that uses hero spells. Well you can't do that my friend. What you need to do is find a hero and you can replace the model file with the model file of the unit you are making. It should be
under Art-Model File or something similar. Then you just add the abilities that you want that hero to know.

If you're really determined for a unit to have hero abilities, you can trigger it. It's under Unit - Add Ability. The hero skill will be level 1, and then you can set the ability level.
You can even simulate hero ability choosing by giving the player a spellbook with dummy abilities...if you want to know more ask, because there's a lot of typing there.

Yeah but thats more work than necessary lol

You have to create the hero spell you want, for example, storm bolt, and change it to a unit ability. Then you can add storm bolt to the unit (make it 1 level only)... For level 2 storm bolt you can copy paste the level 1 storm bolt and change the name to Storm bolt level 2 and change the dmg and other fields... Then you can create a trigger to remove storm bolt level 1 and add storm bolt level 2... the event ( when the trigger will happen) can be manythings, for example when the knight enters a specific region or when you upgrade a building, or when u research a research (for exmaple Iron Forge Swords)....

The box you check to define if the ability is a hero ability. Basically you check true or uncheck false.
