Max of 5 hero skills?

I was starting on a theory I have for a map, and was trying to add a few extra hero skills to a hero. At 5 skills, the WE wouldn't allow me to add more.

Is this a hardcoded value? Is it something in metadata which can be edited? Or is it just a weakness in the WE?

Thanks,
Trick

Sigh... I hate to bump this, but does anyone have an answer either way please?

If you could, it would have been done.

Maybe I need to clarify my question then. I don't want a hero to be able to USE more than 5 skills. Let's face it, not enough boxes on the screen for much more than that without fancy triggers. I just want the option to assign more.

Either that, or is there a way to assign skills to a hero at runtime or during game that I'm overlooking?

u cant have more then 5 skills period. without using spellbooks or something

so short answer no u cant assign more then 5 skills

you can give him a max of 5 hero abils and a max of INFINIT unit abils

Argh I was just going to ask this question. Still no way to get more than 5 hero abilities???

You can give him 6 abilities, but you have to delete an other ability. (like patrol or attack ground) But this will delete that ability for ALL units. I think it was mentioned how to do this here. (About the 10th answer)

Sagan, even if you delete patrol it will not let the hero's skills go over the hard-coded max of 5. You could change this by .DLL editing but I'm pretty sure its illegal (although I don't really think Blizzard would care) and very hard unless you have practise.

5 hero abilities are the absolute max..

If you're creating a sort of map with a varieity of heroes (perhaps an arena), you can give each hero 4 basic abilities (at the third row), 2 basic abilities (at middle row center), and 1 'ultimate ability' (replace the hero skill button at middle-right.. make sure to set this ability's req level to whatever the max level is.

You can add more hero abilities with triggers and level them with upgrades, but as there are only 6 free slots its not worth it...

I doubt your still reading this but there IS a way to have more then 5 hero skills. Go to this thread to learn how to do it

stupid thread u posted has a pop-up dialog box that keeps on coming even after you click ok.

anyway, he means a way to have 5+ abilites the standard way.

i couldn't read the thread because of the stupid dialog box
