Ability Codes

[BradPittlord]

Is there a way to show the duration, damage, ect of a spells next level in the Tooltip Learn - Extended

In Tooltip learn %d appears to be the code to show the number for the next level

So using <AEer,DataA1> for duration, in theory I should be able to use <AEer,DataA%d> but it doesn't work.

In fact I can't get %d to show anywhere except the Tooltip Learn

I don't think there is a way to do this in the object editor.

I would suggest looking into the

native BlzSetAbilityResearchExtendedTooltip        takes integer abilCode, string researchExtendedTooltip, integer level returns nothing

JASS method to set the tooltips for an ability per level.

Tutorial - Raw Data
Explains what you need.

Looking at the Tutorial - Raw Data I think Halithor is right, I need to use Jass to accomplish what I want to do. Problem is I literally no nothing in Jass. I'm decentish at making triggers but that's it.

Do something like this:

Set AbilityVariable = Some Ability
Custom script: call BlzSetAbilityResearchExtendedTooltip(udg_AbilityVariable, “thestringyouwantbetweenthesequotes”, thelevelyouwant)

You can also use a StringVariable and substitute udg_ for the “...” part (remove the quotes too) if you would rather write the string in GUI.

Thanks for the help, but sorry it keeps giving me Syntax Error, unexpected "damage" Symbol not declared (deals)

It differs on what I type in “thestringyouwantbetweenthesequotes”

What I did,

• Hero Spell
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set AbilityTest = Entangling Roots (hero)
    • Custom script: call BlzSetAbilityResearchExtendedTooltip(udg_AbilityTest, Deals damage and stuff, 1)

 

[Pyrogasm]

you need to use quotations around the string. Like I said when I wrote "thestringyouwantbetweenthesequotes".

BlzSetAbilityResearchExtendedTooltip exists in GUI. why do you need a custom script line for it?

 

[BradPittlord]

Sorry about that, I'm a scrub.

Alright I used the quotes and got no error message, however in game no Extended Tooltip (learn) is displayed.

Seeing Cyclotrutan's post I used the GUI Action for it and no text appears still.
I tried the other actions:
-Game - set Tooltip (Learn)
-Game - set Tooltip
-Game - set Extended Tooltip

Those ones all worked fine, but not the one I need.

I tried using The events (Map Initialization) and (Game time 1.00 seconds)

You can sort of get it to work by typing all the info in Tooltip (Learn) but it cuts off after a few lines.

Gave some rep for helpin

This is in the patch notes of 1.31:

-BlzSetAbilityResearchExtendedTooltip now displays the correct string

So, it might be a known bug. I've only used these new functions for normal extended tooltips, but not research. For those tooltips, it works fine.

Oh, guess it was never meant to be.
Thx for the help tho
