Help -=again=- with a tutorial

I used the "dummy spell" thing from that tutorial, but im having a problem with doing spells with multiple levels.

http://www.wc3campaigns.com/forums/a...ticle&artid=13

For instance, if i have a spell that damages units within a certain radius of the caster, the damage rising per level, how do i do that?
Since the way this works is that a trigger detects when that "dummy spell" is used, and then does a bunch of other actions.
But how can i detect if a certain spell is being cast at a certain level.
Is there any way to tell the difference between Flamestrike lvl1 and lvl 3 in an event?

I know theres probably a simpler way to do this, but id like to understand how to do it using this "dummy spell" method.

Yes there is. This has been posted about numerous times before, and if you searched you would've found it... though I'm not one to judge, I think the search system is cluttered and almost completely useless, and I'm happy to answer the question. :D

You have to make a trigger, which detects when the unit levels an ability.

Here's the code:

Events:

Hero - Learns an Ability

Conditions:

(Learned Hero Skill) is equal to Human Blood Mage - Flame Strike

Actions:

Set Flamestrikelvl = Flamestrikelvl + 1

Flamestrikelvl is an integer variable.

That should solve your problem, if it doesn't, just post again, k?

Good luck! :ggani:

Yes it did solve my problem!!

and im sorry for not using the search box. Im a n00b here, so i didnt know i could use it.

again thanks alot, i cant tell you how much i appreciate someone who takes the time to give a full, detailed answer to a problem.
