FAQ Top Ten

This is just a little thread for all the lazy beginers that can't take a few extra minutes to look around the forums.

Q: How do you get your hero above level 10?

A: In the editor, go to Advanced, GamePlay Constants, then go to the Heros Section, and find the Hero Max Level Limit, make it what ever you want.

Q: How do you get abilities over level 3?

A: In the ability editor for TFT, there is a Level Option for all the hero moves.

Q: How do I make a hero move a unit move?

A: In the ability editor again, select your hero ability, then find the field, Is a Hero Ability - True, change that to False, then select any random spell, and then select your spell again, this refreshes the list.

Q: How do you detect bash/critcal strike/evasion?

A: I made this map for all the people how are too lazy to read... The Detect Map

Q: Can a Hero have more then one ability based on the same ability?

Use the Spellbook ability, its an ability when you use it it opens a menu where you can have up to 11 spells. Its in item spells.

How to show a multiboard to 1 player

Why do people keep getting disconnected in my map? What is a server split and why does it happen?[List of offending triggers would be nice]

Q-I'm trying to make an Archer hero with several different fire arrow abilities. There seems to be a lot or problems in doing this

A-No Hero can have two abilities based of the same abilitiy. As well, many abilities can't be together with the same hero (ie, ice arrows and fire arrows)

Q-When i change item abilities to hero abilities, the icon doesn't appear on their abilitiy list

A-????

Q. I have a trigger that starts a dialog/leaderboard/multiboard run at the map start, but it doesnt work. What's the problem?

It's stickied, he's welcome to add things. If you haven't checked, Shimrra just edited it. :P

Just wanted to note a thing.... Your bash map might help with evasion (if you mod it alittle) but bash is easily detected by every 0.1 sec checking for the stun buff ^^ i used that for my maps that need to check if a unit is bashed. You could post that as an alternative to the more complicated triggers in your map.
