Creature MOD limitation?

from Elemental Forums

 

Not sure if this should go in mods or suggestions but here you go;

 I was hoping that the <SelectedAbilityBonusOption> tag could be put within the <LevelMilestone InternalName=""> tag as this would allow you to grant a summoned unit new abilities as it levelled up.

 However my experiment shows that if I put them in the level milestones the abilities just don't get granted.

 Is there another way of doing it if not could stardock make this work?

I haven't been able to get levelmilestone to do anything at all. I assumed that if I put in a l30 milestone the game would grant 1/30th increments to the l30 numbers per level for units with a l30 milestone but when my test unit levels all it gets is hit points per normal.

Looking at some of the other creatures you might consider making the abilities part of a creaturespellbook like with the spiders and giving them a mana cost and an essence to the creature so that once they reach x level they are able to cast / use the ability in that way.

I think this is bugged. Any of these levelmilestone do not work at all.

 

By looking files, it seems Stardock just abandoned this thing, thus making some serious balance problems.

Levelmilestones did appear to work, that is I added a con adjustment at level 3 that appeared to take effect....I think. But I think they only adjust the stats by a set amount when you reach that level not by a fraction during the inbetween levels.

I tried a level 2 milestone

Code: xml
  1.    &lt;LevelMilestone InternalName="L2"&gt;
  2.       &lt;Level&gt;2&lt;/Level&gt;
  3.       &lt;UnitStat_HitPoints&gt;10&lt;/UnitStat_HitPoints&gt;
  4.       &lt;UnitStat_Attack&gt;10&lt;/UnitStat_Attack&gt;
  5.       &lt;UnitStat_Defense&gt;10&lt;/UnitStat_Defense&gt;
  6.       &lt;UnitStat_CombatSpeed&gt;10&lt;/UnitStat_CombatSpeed&gt;
  7.       &lt;UnitStat_Strength&gt;10&lt;/UnitStat_Strength&gt;
  8.       &lt;UnitStat_Wisdom&gt;10&lt;/UnitStat_Wisdom&gt;
  9.       &lt;UnitStat_Dexterity&gt;10&lt;/UnitStat_Dexterity&gt;
  10.       &lt;UnitStat_Intelligence&gt;10&lt;/UnitStat_Intelligence&gt;
  11.       &lt;UnitStat_Charisma&gt;10&lt;/UnitStat_Charisma&gt;
  12.       &lt;UnitStat_Constitution&gt;10&lt;/UnitStat_Constitution&gt;
  13.       &lt;UnitStat_Sight&gt;10&lt;/UnitStat_Sight&gt;
  14.       &lt;UnitStat_Essence&gt;10&lt;/UnitStat_Essence&gt;
  15.    &lt;UnitStat_Moves&gt;10&lt;/StrVal&gt;
  16.     &lt;/LevelMilestone&gt;

It didn't work; unless I did it incorrectly.

Bumping to see if anyone has had any success with levelmilestone or any method to get units/creatures to do anything other than HP when gaining levels.

I'll try and give it another try later tonight if I get a chance I'm sure my level 3 adjustment did work though.
