3 quickies

1. (SOLVED) On my map, whenever the Priestess of the Moon character picks up an item with the "Upgrade Abilities" ability, she spawns these weird spikes all over her body. Is there any way to disable them?

2. Each unit in the game display its name and level when you hold the mouse pointer over that unit. However, I imported a Rogue model and it seems to display this information even when my mouse pointer is a considerable distance from it. Is there any way to reduce this area?

3. (SOLVED) Does Attack Type: Chaos ignore armor, or is that only applicable to DAMAGE_TYPE_CHAOS?

1. Don't really understand :?
2. It is probably the model that's doing that. You can't change the area.
3. As far as I know, it applies to attack type chaos as well.

Uhm check also the selection size

Yes, those are the spikes. Is there any way to remove them?

What ability are you basing it off? I can't find "Upgrade Abilities".

Sorry, the ability is Engineering Upgrade.

 

[Mr_Bean]

Okay. Make a custom buff based of the "Engineering Upgrade" buff. Then change the "Art - Target" field to nothing and remove all the attachment points. Set "Art - Target Attachments" to 0. Finally, add this buff to your "Upgrade Abilities" ability.

Attack type doesn't determine whether armor is ignored.

 

[DistantHaze]

Wow, so Magic attack damage ignores the damage reduction through armor? I did not know that!

 

[DistantHaze]

Ah, thank you. Apparently just removing the buff from the Engineering Upgrade isn't enough to actually get rid of that buff. What a quirky program!

 

[Meticulous]

Blank buff fields will use the default buff. Abilities that display buffs are hard coded to display buffs.
