We have been having a hell of a time trying to figure this one out. I'm trying to give upgrades via veterency, and we can't get it. We can add the health a combat shield adds but how do we get it to show the shield? and then the reason I asked the question how I did, How do we add the bonus damage Vs light and give blue flames to the hellion?

We are really struggling with this one (going on 2 hours of constant testing to no avail)

Thanks in advance!

That may be my only option so if you wouldn't mind a quick tutorial that'd be sweet!

Untitled Trigger 002
Events
Unit - Any Unit gains an experience level
Local Variables
Level = ((Triggering unit) Level (Current)) <Real>
Conditions
Actions
Variable - Set Level = ((Triggering unit) Level (Current))
Variable - Modify Level: + 1.0
General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
If
Level == 2.0
Then
Tech Tree - Allow the Ability Command ability for player (Owner of (Triggering unit))
Tech Tree - Allow Upgrade for player (Owner of (Triggering unit))
Tech Tree - Allow the Behavior behavior for player (Owner of (Triggering unit))
Else

i think that is what u need

Quote from DrSuperEvil: Go

For getting the shield to appear under the actor you need to give it a validate unit term and have a validator that is of the Player Requirement type which then links to a requirement that counts your veterancy level.

I have no idea what you are talking about. I understand actors and validators but no idea how to combine the two like this.

Quote from DrSuperEvil: Go

As for the extra damage vs light, just give the weapon a set effect with a damage effect that does damage to light units that is disabled using the same validator as the blue flames.

again, not sure how to do this.

Thanks for your help guys!

I'm sure I'm just going to piss you off, but I'm still very confused.

I'm looking at (I think) the campaign assimilator but I can't find any sort of validator besides is flying, is not flying.
Part 1:
I've created a player requirement validator, and a requirement that counts veterancy I just can't figure out how to do anything with it.

Part 2:
Alright, I think I got everything for this I'm just still trying to figure out how to setup the validator to say "lhas to be level 2 hero"

This is what I setup and I thought I followed everything he did so I'm not sure whats up.

I tried it on a marauder's concusive shells and when I have it set to CountBehavior(Marauder,CompleteOnly) >= 2 it doesn't work (even after he gains levels) but when I have it set to CountBehavior(Marauder,CompleteOnly) >= 1 it is always working.

Sorry that I didn't reply while you were still on =/

nope. something is wrong with the validator/requirement and I can't figure out what.

thats what I did. My requirement says "Count (veterancy behavior) > 1"

Well, that's what I said. I did it with the marauder and when I had it set to >= 2 it never works but when I set it to >= 1 it always works.

sorry, just re-read that and it wasn't clear.
I want to give it to him when he becomes level 2. When I set it to >=2 no matter what level he is he doesn't get it. When I set it to >=1 he starts the game with it.

is there a way to be notified of new posts? Or do I just have to keep checking/refreshing.
