A bug! - Two skills on one hero level! :) Help please!

In my map I have a hero with a model of Druid of the Claw and with ability Bear Form. There's a problem with gaining new skills:
As u know, if u turn a hero into a bear or a crow or smthng else he can't gain exp while he is in that... animal :) form. It's not so bad though, the problem is in other thing. While in bear form u can't use abilities or items, BUT! But if u gain a level while in human... elf... or whatever... form and then get into animal form, the New Skill button is active and u can learn a skill, then when you get back into human form u can learn a skill again!!!
It means, u can learn TWO skills per level (one - in animal form, and one - in human) instead of ONE per level!!!!!! :D :D :D

How can I solve this problem??? Is there a trigger... smthng like "Disable Gain Ability button", or smth like that?

PS: I hope u could understand something, my english suxxx! :)

**** disabling that sounds great!!!

thank you for discovering this bug I was really wanting my level 1 merc heros to start with 2 spells (allowing them to max out there 2 spells they gain by level 5)

does this mean u can get a hero with 20 skill points by lv10?

lets not fix this bug plz :)

but problem is actually the fact that you can only have 5 spell icons to be reseached =)

while in bear form, i can't seem to be able to use triggers to get the hero to learn skills...

damn :(

Is it possible to give more than three power levels to a single spell? Or to create multiple power levels for an ultimate ability? Just curious.

Actually, this means you can have an unlimited number of skill points. Since points spent in morphed form arent used for your normal form, if you: morph,use point,morph back,morph again use same point, etc you can keep reusing the same point over and over.
Unfortunately im still looking for a way to order a morphed unit to spend the points.

I found the solution!
Event:
Game - The hero abilities button is clicked
Condition:
Unit-type of the unit equal to bear form
Action:
Force player to press escape/cancel
Message: "You can't learn an ability while in bear form."

You are a moron. That is the dumbest idea I've ever heard, except that time your mother said to me, "I know, batskcaB, let's have a child together!" =)

Can't force escape/cancel

Yay! =)

deselect the unit..

theres a bit of lag in deselecting the units isnty there, so u could learn the skills if u used a hotkey fairly easily




good thing u didnt flip on him for anything that was insignificant

....

Anywho , in reply to your question Nebulist - yes you can give an ultimate ability multiple levels. All it involves is some simple .slk and .txt editing. One of the columns in abilitydata.slk is devoted to how many levels you want an ability to have; all ultimates have this as 1 ofcourse, but you can type in 3 and add in the values for when the ability reaches level 2 and level 3.

An example of this would be to give 3 levels of Avatar, the first level being the original, the second level you might want the hero to have +50 damage and +800 hp, and then the third you might want +75 damage and +1000 hp. Or you might want to make it last longer, or have a faster cooldown. Simply add the information to their respective columns. With that done you'd open humanabilityfunc.txt and humanabilitystrings.txt, find avatar, then add the extra information for levels 2 and 3. It's fairly intuitive and not too hard.

As for making more than 3 levels on any spells, as far as I am aware it is unfortunately not possible, as the comment attached by blizzard staff to the spell levels column states that there is a limit of 3. Although, I haven't specifically tried adding a 4th level, so I could be wrong.
