I'm guessing that once the hero has the oppurtunity to bring a skill to level three, an entirely new skill is now available, that is generally more powerful than all three versions of the previous skill. This would involve "disability hero ability" and "enable hero ability" triggers, and some Unit_Abilities.slk (think that's the filename) editing.

Check WC3Campaigns.com and CampaignCreations.com's tutorials sections for more info on editing abilities.

Take a look at that map, using custom text files and triggers you can do lvl 6 skills but you have to get the hero over level 10 first. This might help you a bit.

wacko
this is actually really easy, there is a file called unitablities.slkl and it shows the level info etc... you can just add a new level there.

Wacko that theory doesnt work. The trigger method is OK but its kinda messy so im workin on a different way of doing it. unfourtunatly, there is no actal way to program in new skills, as it is hard coded.

after exploring a little more, i had an idea what about creating a whole new spell which is possible, and then just have it replace the blizzard spell once you get to a level X or what ever? I know that sound slike a bitch but the spells being limited to 3 is sucky.

That's how they do it. Notice expanded spells are always(usually) divisible by 3? That's 'cause after there skill hits Lv.3, and you're moving onto Lv.4, you replace it with an entirely new spell, and just LABEL it Lv.4,Lv.5,Lv.6... even though that's not true, in reality.

it may be retarded but its the only way so deal with it

or you could petiton blizzard to let u change the values, since they obviously can change the damage/cooldown/mana every patch, they can easily make those varaibles editable in the WE
