molten core map question

11-26-2008, 11:13 PM

In the map molten core people talked about how he made skill trees similar to wow. Where you open the book and choose what you want.
I cant get it to work though, I copy pasted all the abilites/triggers/custom text, and saving did work got no errors.

WHen I click to learn skill I click a tree, and choose a spell to learn
this is where it breaks all buttons that were in that skill tree are now just in the normal place where you learn spells

example of how it should work
click hero skill button
see 2 trees to choose from
pick 1 and now u see 4 spells and u can pick any u want
choose 1 its now a spell u can always do
level up again same thing no changes really

but what mine is doing is
click hero skill button
see 2 trees to choose from
click 1 and now i see 4 spells
choose 1 and i do learn it +extra enginneing ability
now when click hero skill button again because I level i do not have skill trees I have the 4spells that came from it

I do have 1real ability and 1fake like he does
I do have the skill button copied 3x to the hero+the 2 tree spells

Pyrogasm	To get us to help you, you'll need to post your map and/or your code. Without that, it's pretty much impossible to figure out what's going wrong.

311	so any luck on fixing my problem?

Pyrogasm	I would really help if you could post your map. I've never played this Molten Core map, so it could be that I just don't understand how the trees work. Posting the map would give a better idea of where your triggers are going wrong.

that help? I dont really wanna keep working on my map if I cant get this to work. I thought bought maybe doing shops that sell the abilities, and have the shops have like 23432432 range, and when you click hero + button, and then a fake do nothing spell(its a tree button), it would auto make you pick the shop that way its almost like it, but just the cheep way havent tried it yet, but seems like it would work
