Sorry, but you cant learn hero abilities through triggers |

Are you quite sure? I remember there being a way to do it... Spellbook perhaps. |

You can use unit-add abillity or hero-learn abillity. Or use upgrades to set the level of abillities. |

You can't add abilities to a hero's ability menu; however, you can increase the level of an ability with a custom upgrade and you can add an ability (at level 1) to a hero. |

Yes, when the unit aquiers an item, give it the abillity you want and then use custom upgrades to set the level of the abillity for the unit. You can also make a verion for each level you want it to have and then give the right level abillity to the unit. |

Define: - Firebolt is an ability - Firebolt is an upgrade that increases the level of Firebolt - Book of Firebolt is an item that, when used, will teach the user how to use the Firebolt spell (and subsequent uses will increase the level of the spell). Assume: - If a player controls more than one hero, none of them will have overlapping abilities (each hero in the game must have unique abilities). - A hero may not "unlearn" an ability (may be able to remove it, but relearning it would retain the current level.) - Book of Firebolt is a charged item Code:
Event:
A unit uses an item
Condition:
Item-type of (Item being manipulated) is equal to (Book of Firebolt)
Actions:
If Conditions then Then-Actions else Else-Actions
Conditions:
(Level of Firebolt for (Hero manipulating item) is equal to 0) Then
Then - Actions:
Add ability Firebolt to Hero manipulating item
Else - Actions:
Add 1 to FireboltUpgrade for (Owner of (Hero manipulating item))Update: Alternately, if your goal was to replace the traditional "Ability Point" system with acquiring items, you could do this.. Code:
No Ability Points
Events:
A unit gains a level
Conditions:
Actions:
Modify unspent skill points of (Leveling Hero): Set 0 points
Learn Firebolt
Events:
A unit uses an item
Conditions:
Unit-type of (Item being manipulated) Equal to (Book of Firebolt)
Actions:
Modify unspent skill points of (Hero manipulating item): Set 1 points
Learn skill for (Hero manipulating item): Firebolt |
