Saving hero & skills into a variable

Lets assume a hero level 20 that is pre-placed on the map. His level and his abilities are set by double clicking on the image etc.

Is it possible to copy this hero WITH his abilities via storing it into a variable or by using any kind of trigger?
When I tried that, it created a hero of the correct type and level but with no abilities.

ps. Setting each ability for each individual hero via trigger isn't what I'm looking for.
EDIT: Unless there is a way for a trigger to catch the first, second, third (and so on) skills of the character

Thanks in advance.

I can't find such action. You cannot learn an ability through triggers.

but I'm not 100% sure.

Hmmm....
Try this, its an example:
In my map, i have a Paladin
All of his abilities are at max level and he is level 10
And I want to create a Hero exactly like him
So how do I do it?
Heres the answer:
Code: 
Hero Spells
    Events
        Map initialization
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type of Paladin 0000 <gen>) for Player 1 (Red) at (Random point in (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
        Hero - Set (Last created unit) Hero-level to 10, Hide level-up graphics
        Hero - Learn skill for (Last created unit): Holy Light
        Hero - Learn skill for (Last created unit): Holy Light
        Hero - Learn skill for (Last created unit): Holy Light
        Hero - Learn skill for (Last created unit): Divine Shield
        Hero - Learn skill for (Last created unit): Divine Shield
        Hero - Learn skill for (Last created unit): Divine Shield
        Hero - Learn skill for (Last created unit): Devotion Aura
        Hero - Learn skill for (Last created unit): Devotion Aura
        Hero - Learn skill for (Last created unit): Devotion Aura
        Hero - Learn skill for (Last created unit): Resurrection
Increasing the hero level automatically gives you 10 skill points. So you don't need to give it anymore skill points.
It works too!

You need to save the abilities and levels to variables, then add those abilities again to the new hero.

Thanks for the reply, guys.

To Evilwolf: That would require me to set up each individual ability for each individual Hero which doesn't worth the effort if there are more than a few heroes.

To Tommerbob: Can you please elaborate?
Unless there is a way to save the 1st ability of a hero to a variable, I don't see how this can help?!

Don't use a variable, use a hastable
Use the save/load ability handle to save/load ability...
I'm sorry I can't post you a trigger because World Editor keeps on crashing when I click on the save ability handle function. =(
You probably can't either because that is only avaliable in JASS I think...
Just you used the method I showed you, if it is only a few(1-10) then it is not a big deal...
Or try this:
Code: 
Hero
    Events
        Map initialization
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit - Create 1 Paladin for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
        Selection - Select (Last created unit) for Player 1 (Red)
        Hero - Set (Last created unit) Hero-level to 10, Hide level-up graphics
        If ((Level of Holy Light for Paladin 0000 <gen>) Equal to 1) then do (Hero - Learn skill for (Last created unit): Human Paladin - Holy Light) else do (Do nothing)
        If ((Level of Holy Light for Paladin 0000 <gen>) Equal to 2) then do (Hero - Learn skill for (Last created unit): Human Paladin - Holy Light) else do (Do nothing)
        If ((Level of Holy Light for Paladin 0000 <gen>) Equal to 3) then do (Hero - Learn skill for (Last created unit): Human Paladin - Holy Light) else do (Do nothing)
        If ((Level of Divine Shield for Paladin 0000 <gen>) Equal to 1) then do (Hero - Learn skill for (Last created unit): Human Paladin - Divine Shield) else do (Do nothing)
        If ((Level of Divine Shield for Paladin 0000 <gen>) Equal to 2) then do (Hero - Learn skill for (Last created unit): Human Paladin - Divine Shield) else do (Do nothing)
        If ((Level of Divine Shield for Paladin 0000 <gen>) Equal to 3) then do (Hero - Learn skill for (Last created unit): Human Paladin - Divine Shield) else do (Do nothing)
        If ((Level of Devotion Aura for Paladin 0000 <gen>) Equal to 1) then do (Hero - Learn skill for (Last created unit): Human Paladin - Devotion Aura) else do (Do nothing)
        If ((Level of Devotion Aura for Paladin 0000 <gen>) Equal to 2) then do (Hero - Learn skill for (Last created unit): Human Paladin - Devotion Aura) else do (Do nothing)
        If ((Level of Devotion Aura for Paladin 0000 <gen>) Equal to 3) then do (Hero - Learn skill for (Last created unit): Human Paladin - Devotion Aura) else do (Do nothing)
        If ((Level of Resurrection for Paladin 0000 <gen>) Equal to 1) then do (Hero - Learn skill for (Last created unit): Human Paladin - Resurrection) else do (Do nothing)
This trigger creates a Paladin...
Then checks the skill of the original Paladin then learns it...
It works too...
Although its better to store it in a Ability array, checks the level of the ability for the original Paladin, then learns the skill..

I've never touched Hashtables so far, maybe it's time to do so.

Even though this is a crude way to deal with the problem at hand, it surely broaden my perspective and -it is- a solution. THANKS!!! +rep


There will be around >50 heroes, each got 5 abilities (all custom) with 16 levels for each ability. So, I will still be looking for a different way to deal with it. Anyone who comes up with an idea, please post here or PM me.

    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
