[General] A quick way to copy Object Editor Data Fields/Change the base ability

[Flux]

Example Scenario:
I made a spell based on Channel and filled up the descriptions, hotkeys, manacost, cooldown, button positions, etc.
Now I want to make the spell instant without interrupting order so the solution is to base it on Berserk, but let's say that spell consists of 10 levels, do I have to manually copy each Object editor field from the Channel-based spell to the new Berserk-based spell or is there an easier workaround to this?

Well there's the auto fill commands, but other than that, yeah, you have to copy manually.

There are a few script type systems to modify object data but that would be 50x more trouble to set up and figure out how to use than solving this particular problem manually.

You can edit the war3map.w3a which contains the base id per custom ability.

See W3M and W3X Files Format (NEW Frozen Throne expansion pack format of "war3map.w3u / w3t / w3b / w3d / w3a / w3h / w3q")
