I've recently created an ability where the unit has a 65% chance of missing with each attack (all units have this ability to add realism), but I need to know how to make it 'upgradeable'. That is, all units and heroes have it, but when you research a certain upgrade, the levels all increase for each unit.. I'm not sure if that clarifies what I'm looking for, but I hope you know what I'm talking about regardless. |

You could make a dummy upgrade and set triggers so that when that dummy upgrade is researched it removes the miss ability for the affected units and add the new one, not that hard me thinks. |

I'll try that.. and also, mayhap you'd know a way to get item abilities to show up as actual abilities so you can check their tooltips, and such? |

I must confess I have never converted an item ability to a unit/hero ability to be actively used but I think there won't be any clicking icons for them, as they are meant to be "in" the clicked item. |

*scratches neck.* Okay, um.. is there any way to make an ability into an upgrade? Or at least.. a more detailed way to use triggers in order to make a five-level ability into an upgrade (without having to spend ability points that only heroes get..). Thanks. |

you can make unit/hero abilities from item abilities, works fine. just change "item ability" to false. |

I know that, but their icons don't appear.. meaning, you can't check their tooltips. |
