So I have heros that level up and learn abilities, similar to the WC3 style of learning...

I need to make it so that you get one skill point every other level... so like you get a point at level 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 etc...

How can i do this? the points per level on the learn ability only takes an integer value so i cannot put in .5...

You'll have to have the unit dump the skill point on odd levels into a dummy, levelable invisible skill using triggers (issue order command). This dummy skill is not to be on the command card and won't really do anything, just sucks up points you don't want your hero to get on odd levels.

Thats a messy method Bilxor. Requirements are better.

Add a new requirement, set the "use" value as follows

Use
- Greater Than
-- Count Behavior (Levels) Complete at Unit
-- Multiplication
---- Constant X (Skip Step)
---- Sum
------ Constant Y (Level Prereq)
------ Count Ability (YourAbility), Complete at Unit

====================================
Set X to 2 if you want your ability learned every other level
Set X to 3 if you want your ability learned every 3 levels

Set Y to 0 if you want your ability to be learnable at the first point gained
Set Y to 1 if you want your ability to be learnable after the first Skip Step
Example: With X at 2 and Y at 1, your ability can only be learned at the third level.

Example Usage:
Set X to 2 and Y to 4.
You will only be able to learn your ability after level 8, and then every 4 levels after.


In relation to your question, you'd set X to 0 and Y to 2.

@DrSuperEvil: Go Oh, I read it wrong. Still seems like doing that as he states would be a long work around to a data only solution. Isnt it possible to gain 1 point per level and have an ability learn cost 2 points? I dont have my editor open atm so Im not sure.
