AddAbility does not work

[distant plank]

I wanted to make a random assignment of abilities and used AddAbility, but for some reason, when the ability was issued, there was no binding on it and it could not be used. What if I initially give the ability, it works fine

[crisp sun]

Show screenshot of issue and code. If you mean there are no hotkeys then its most likely because first 6 ability slots already taken by hidden abilities (valve adding them during runtime)

[distant plank]

Here, everything looks like this for me. I have all the slots of abilities free, the code seems to be normal, but there is no bind and I cannot pump and use it

[crisp sun]

Try create dummy abilities like rubick ones and fill first 6 slots with them to swap later in game

[distant plank]

It's too crutchy, I just don't understand why it could be(

[pure oar]

try SetAbilityByIndex?

[narrow robin]

Found 14 functions for index

🇸 🇨 EntIndexToHScript(entityIndex: EntityIndex): CBaseEntity|nil
Turn an entity index integer to an HScript representing that entity's script instance.
🇸 CDOTA_BaseNPC:GetAbilityByIndex(index: int): CDOTABaseAbility|nil
Retrieve an ability by index from the unit.
🇸 CDOTABaseAbility:GetAbilityIndex(): int
🇸 🇨 CEntityInstance:GetEntityIndex(): EntityIndex
🇸 GetEntityIndexForTreeId(treeId: uint): EntityIndex
Get the enity index for a tree id specified as the entindex_target of a DOTA_UNIT_ORDER_CAST_TARGET_TREE.
and 9 more…

Post also your kv of ability because i don't see any reason why you can't level up that ability (it have levels and plus button)

[distant plank]

Here are all the parameters of the ability

[pure oar]

if you met something quite wired, try to add a delay🤨

[distant plank]

It would be funny if everything depended on the delay the second time, but no, he also writes an error, now I will test SetAbilityByIndex

[crisp sun]

SetAbilityByIndex will most likely not work because valve hidden abilities all have index = 0 in any slot. Try SwapAbilities instead (it 100% works for hotkeys and rest things)

[distant plank]

It's all cool, of course, but why the hell doesn't AddAbility work)

[crisp sun]

You might have script error that make it use default values and for max level it most likely 0

[distant plank]

This is as strange as possible, my hero has zero occupied ability slots, and if you set an ability in a txt file, it works, but as soon as you start giving it out, it starts to tremble

[distant plank]

I don't understand, can I get more details?

[crisp sun]

Look at console for pink text and if thats the case there are will be errors like "Script not found" or something like that (i don't remember exact text)

[distant plank]

I scrolled through the console, I didn't see anything like that

[crisp sun]

Try add any built it dota ability from any hero

If its works then its something related to your ability else something more global and special

Like lion stun and not something special like meepo ultimate

[distant plank]

Good idea, I'll try it now

Okay, it's not funny anymore.......

[crisp sun]

How did you removed talent tree? You hide it from panorama or just set every talent to ""

[pure oar]

is it caused by innate ability?

mouse hover on your hero, and type ent_hierarchy !picker in your console

take a screenshot

[crisp sun]

I was asking just to be sure its not new feature of dota because not long ago they changed how kv override works

[pure oar]

🤔 you add abaddons ability in kv?

[distant plank]

which one?

[pure oar]

oh,well, I misunderstood

[distant plank]

All my abilities work fine if they are given immediately to the hero in a txt file

I tried to remove the innate ability and another error was written to me

[pure oar]

so it caused by the innate ability?

try to keep axe's original innate ability

[distant plank]

Maybe I also did something wrong with the hero, of course

AHHAHAHAHAHAHAH, I ADDED THE AXE INNATE ABILITY AND NOW THERE'S ANOTHER MISTAKE ALTOGETHER

I caught 3 mistakes)

[pure oar]

here

I think this is the reason

if you create hero with ability slot empty

valve will auto add some other interaction ability (ie. twin_gate,lamp_use)

and those took over the ability slots with keybind

[distant plank]

So I need to make a hidden ability right now?

[pure oar]

new ability you add start with index 6, out of keybind ( QWEDFR

maybe

but simply swap could also resolve this

[distant plank]

That is, after adding it, I will need to swap the ability to the desired slot?

[pure oar]

yes

after swap, it got a hotkey

[distant plank]

I'll try it right now

thank you in advance!
