Problems with letting a UNIT acquire a HERO spell

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. :p

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).... HAVE FUN:cool:

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
