So I have some levelable abilities, and it all works fine as far as earning points and leveling abilities up.
What I wanna do though, is have my hero with all their abilities at level 1 from the start. Without having to spend any points. Does anyone know how I can do this? The enable/show ability triggers didn't seem to work, I'm assuming it's some number field in my learn-ability somewhere.
I can assure you that the enable/show ability trigger does in fact work; I have used it many times. Can you copy and paste your trigger?
If you want to stay in data though, you could use a requirement to hide the ability once it is levelled. However, this will throw off the UI display for current level if you are learning your abilities "warcraft 3-style" using veterancy levels and skill points. You have to decide between displaying the correct ability level in the UI or using skill points via veterancy levels to level up your abilities.
I don't want to hide the ability, I want my hero to start with all of her abilities already learned at level 1.
I tried these triggers (ran at game init) to no avail:
Unit - Enable the Infestor - Fungal Growth ability for Kerrigan (Char) [14.23, 13.84]
Unit - Show the Infestor - Fungal Growth ability for Kerrigan (Char) [14.23, 13.84]
It still doesn't appear on my hero until I learn it with one of my ability points.
There's a unit trigger called Change Level For Unit Ability. I've tried it out and it works so try making a trigger that automatically adds 1 to the level of the abilities when the unit is created or the game starts.
I've tried that trigger too, but it only works if I use after my hero has learned the first level of the ability, so it won't be able to help me in this case.

I assure you theres a data way, I can tell just from the description, but I am tired... so i cant help much.
@Taintedwisp: Go
I think you're right, but I can't for the life of me find where it is!
EDIT: Nevermind, I got it figured out now, ended up using a trigger to manually use the learn ability at game init.
