Life Bonus

Thunder_Eye	Hi, If I have an ability based on Life Bonus which gives Lvl1: 0 Lvl2: 25 Lvl3: 50 Lvl4: 75 .... If my unit has this ability and I increase its level, it will do nothing. So how can I fix this?

Tim.	You can't. Make one ability per level.

Now set the bonus for level one to zero and the level two to the exact opposit you want to achieve. That would be -200 if you want to add 200. Now use UnitAddAbility and SetUnitAbilityLevel to add the ability at level two to your target. There's a bug in those abilities that prevents the bonus from being applied correctly. Then immediately remove the ability again using UnitRemoveAbility. This time it will try to undo the -200 bonus (which hadn't been applied due to a bug) and add 200 to the unit. That's it, you've changed the life/mana without having to keep any abilities on the unit.

Dummy ability, add the HP via triggers using this method.

Thunder_Eye	Ok thx, I knew about that bug but couldn't find the thread. Good that it involves adding/removing abilities too as then I wont get stuck at the 100 limit ;P
