Guest | My heroes (in a RPG game) have some custom non-hero abilities (healing, faery fire, ... customed). I would like to know how to give it to a hero at a special time in game. Actually, i give them their abilities and tried : 1. to activate an ability with a trigger (Unit-Create ability ... ?) but i didn't find one that fit. But it exist Unit-Remove Ability ... 2. to use in the *func.txt (or the other one i don't remember) to had 'required ???' but that won't work. I copied the lines from an existing one, but that don't work. Do u know how to do ? Do u know where i could find a list of codes for evolutions (adept, ...) and how it works (requirement, levels (sometimes tere is a number under the code), ... ). Thank you for your help. |

Wouldn't it work if you set it the ability so it's disabled at the start of the map, and then you can reenable it through a trigger (I think it's a player one) but the only thing is that after you enable it it will be impossible to get rid of (there's no unenable ability) |

Guest | I find a trigger for removing ability (it is quote that we can't restore it perhaps), but not to enable an ability ... |

Remove ability is a UNIT trigger, right? I think enable ability is a PLAYER trigger becasue it allows ALL units with the abilty to start usin it. It does it in the campaign like when you acquire a new unit it enables you to start building it in the middle of the map. I think the enable units trigger is different but there should be a similar one for abilities. |

It's easy. There is a Add Hero Spell trigger. Simply make the spell a herospell by editing the AbilityData.slk from war3patch.mpq and put it back into the war3patch.mpq. I'm not sure if herospells can be removed using the Unit - Remove Ability trigger, but i think it's possible. Edit: There is a Player - Enable/Disable ability trigger. I've checked it. |

Guest | That is a good idea. But that will use an hero-point. :( The 'remove ability' works with custom hero spell, but not non-hero-ability. And with hero spell, it simply remove the possibility to spend an hero-point in it (any level got before are still available). The only way i see, is to removing the hero with the ability and replace it with the another hero looking exactly the same, but with the ability i need ... It is using lots of code for something that seen not so difficult to do :( |
