Hi I'm kind of new to this galaxy editor and this is probably a simple question but could someone show me how to increase the duration of say, stim pack or force field, as you gain levels?

I know how to increase the damage of abilities by creating new effects with the levels, but for these timed abilities, I found that they were behaviors and I'm not quite sure how to deal with those.

@discordd: Go

Look for the ability you created or one that already exists. You will see a line named 'Cost - Cost +'. In there, you can create as many different index you want, according to the number of effects (levels) you have under 'Effect - Effect'.

Index 0 = Dmg Effect 1 / Index 1 = Dmg Effect 2 / Index 2 = Dmg Effect 3 / etc

@Wanny1: Go

Does this mean that you will have to make 5 Behaviors etc?

@Ozoft: Go

Seems like a pretty simple question, bump

Yeah, you need to create multiple behaviors.

Another options is a workaround with triggers.

For example if you wanna make it last longer at level 2, you do:

Events
-Any Unit Uses Stim Pack
Actions
-If (Current Level of Ability Stim Pack on Triggering Unit) == 1 {i think is always one less}
--Wait 5 seconds game time
--Add Behavior Stim Pack to Triggering Unit

That will readd the behavior 5 seconds later, so It will last 5 seconds longer. This doesn't really work if you have a visible bar for the buff duration tought. Probably there is another workaround if you don't wanna multiple behaviors, but I don't have the editor here.

Alright thanks, now at least i know the structure and can go from there :)

Let's say i have a stomp ability which has a couple of effects, persistents, set, damage, search etc.. how would i make the ability to increase the duration of the stun duration each level, is it the same way? i make 5 instances of all the effects and so on?

i tried and all of the instances is making me confused :o

Thanks!
