Setting Hero level to 1

[jrhetf4xb]

How can I return a Hero's level back to 1?

Hero - Set level action.

I don't think you can do so because the abilities will be screwed up.
Remove the previous hero and create a new hero instead.

the function shown by jedi works actually like a charm.

Actually, it doesn't, or at least I can't find a reasonable cause for this script not to work:

// Runs on unit death
    function Actions()
    {
        unit killingUnit = GetKillingUnit();
        //... bla bla bla 
            SetHeroLevel(killingUnit, 1, false);
     // etc.

It never returns the Hero's level back to 1 - it does nothing.

I would do as mentioned above (replace) since it would probably bug the abilitys.

But if the heroes got no abilitys, you can use "Hero - Set Level"

Abilities are not my concern, I want to know why using "Hero - Set Level" does not work. :/

oh, well.. I got a trigger in my map which allows you to imidiatly reach lvl 15 if its singleplayer mode, I forgot to cancel it after use and when i used it at lvl 21 it did set my hero back to lvl 15, so i cant see why it should not be possible to set it to 1 /:

sure you are sellecting the right unit?

I am talking about GUI action and it works great.

function SetHeroLevelBJ takes unit whichHero, integer newLevel, boolean showEyeCandy returns nothing
    local integer oldLevel = GetHeroLevel(whichHero)

    if (newLevel > oldLevel) then
        call SetHeroLevel(whichHero, newLevel, showEyeCandy)
    elseif (newLevel < oldLevel) then
        call UnitStripHeroLevel(whichHero, oldLevel - newLevel)
    else
        // No change in level - ignore the request.
    endif
endfunction

^ Oh, so the native is different... Thanks a lot, I never thought of looking inside the BJ one

maybe its in the event or conditions. Can you copy and paste here the trigger you are using?
