Non-hero spell levels?

I have a feeling this is answered somewhere but I searched and couldn't find it, so here we go. I know how do make a non-hero spell have multiple levels with the object editor, that's easy enough, the problem is how do you give a unit the ability at a level higher than one? I tried giving the ability multiple times and that didn't work and I didn't see any level specifications with the "unit - give ability" action, so... how? thanks

You would have to use dummy upgrades to fake it.

the tinker engineer wouldnt that be effective? or just making like you siad dummy spells that have same name and use a priest or something upgrade that gives you the spells per upgrade (upgrades the spell to a new one) and rename it..

Heal - Lvl 1
Spell cast upgrade
Heal - Lvl 2

In my little experiments when I tinkered with leveling a unit ability, I didn't find any way to do it, not even with upgrades.

hmmm ;/

If a unit has this unit ability, then I think it is impossible to level it up without using buildings that have upgrades for it or items.

Say Unit A has a unit ability called blahblah
Building A can upgrade that ability

Then you just have to make 3 copies of the spell and enough upgrades for each level.

Unit A finishes researching blahblah lvl 1
Conditions Unit A = whatever
Actions - Give unit a blahblah lvl 1

Unit A finishes researching blahblah lvl 2
Unit A = whatever
Remove blahblah lvl 1 from triggering unit
Add blahblah lvl 2


I think thats how you would do it anyway >_>

would be messy if there are a buncha of them units.. could ru nsomething along the same as the berserker ability and make it so you have 3 dummy units with the spell at each level. wouldnt cause as much as a mess on replacing cause game already can do it..
