Well, I had my Blood Mage to learn the Dark Portal skill. Also "Mass Teleport". But, with the Dark Portal, as soon as I used it, all the others skills vanished from the Hero's skill list; and the Mass Teleport is 6-level only: how do I lower it?

Another thing...I wish to start the game with the Blood Mage using the Mass Teleport skill. I searched in Unit Group - Issue Order Unit With No Target ... but there was no "Human Blood Mage - Use Mass Teleport" or something like that. How do i do it?

Thanx in advance! :gsmile:

I am working on the others, but while I have it, here is how to fix the mass teleport lvl 6 issue:
Open the object editor, and click on the abilities tab.
On the tree to the left open Human, then Heros and click on Mass Teleport.
On the right is a list of properties, double click "Stats- Required Level" and set the value to 1 or whatever you want.

That shold handle that problem.

Ok here is how I got the Blood Mage to use the Mass Teleport auto after a period of time (I used 5 seconds, but u can change that). First set Mass Teleport as an hero-ability in the object editor for the Blood Mage (Units Tab). Then use a trigger in the game some what like this:

Code:

Test
    Events
        Time - Elapsed game time is 5.00 seconds
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit - Add Mass Teleport to Blood Mage 0000 <gen>
        Unit - Order Blood Mage 0000 <gen> to Human Archmage - Mass Teleport Cannon Tower 0008 <gen>

Blood Mage 0000<gen> should be changed to whatever the Blood Mage unit object is called, and the Cannon Tower 0008 <gen> should be the unit or building (buildings are units) where u want to teleport to.

I know that the trigger is confusing because the order is called Human Archmage, but it works, I tested it.

I hope that helps.:ggani:

By the way, to use the teleport later in the game, just choose an event that is appropriate and then add only the second action above. The first action just adds the ability to the unit, so so if the unit already has it, then it is not needed.
