Amending Spiked Carapace Data

[Karzama]

Hi,

I think I have done this right but it doesn't seem to work ingame, I have many other abilities being adjusted by this same trigger layout but this one doesn't seem to work? Maybe a bug?

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • (Level of Counter (Pos 4) for TempUnit) Equal to 1
  • Then - Actions
    • -------- Reflects |cffd45e195%|r of melee damage back to the source. --------
    • Set VariableSet TempReal = (5.00 x PhysicalBonus)
    • Set VariableSet TempString = (Reflects |cffd45e19 + ((String((Integer(TempReal)))) + %|r of melee damage back to the source.))
    • Set VariableSet TempReal = (TempReal / 100.00)
    • Ability - Set Ability: (Unit: TempUnit's Ability with Ability Code: Counter (Pos 4))'s Real Level Field: Returned Damage Factor ('Uts1') of Level: 0 to TempReal
    • Ability - Set Ability: (Unit: TempUnit's Ability with Ability Code: Counter (Pos 4))'s String Level Field: Tooltip - Normal - Extended ('aub1') of Level: 0 to TempString
  • Else - Actions

You need to increment and deincrement the ability's level after yo change their fields so it updates, exactly in this order. Pretty much for most abilities' fields, but fixed with this method.

I have just tried and this doesn't seem to work?

EDIT: Seem to have the same issue with Critical Strike?

Setting the ability's tooltip - normal - extended by this action type doesn't work apparently, and I assume it won't work for other tooltip like strings.
However, Ability - Set Ability Extended Tooltip works, and others alike had worked before for me.

• Critical Strike
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic sequence
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Ability - Set Ability: (Unit: Blademaster 0000 <gen>'s Ability with Ability Code: Critical Strike)'s Real Level Field: Damage Multiplier ('Ocr2') of Level: 0 to 10.00
    • Ability - Set Extended Tooltip of Critical Strike to Gives a 15% chance to do 10 times damage on an attack. for level 0
    • Unit - Increase level of Critical Strike for Blademaster 0000 <gen>
    • Unit - Decrease level of Critical Strike for Blademaster 0000 <gen>

I didn't need to increase and decrease level for it to work, but there might abilities that don't work without.

That does work but unfortunately it changes it globally, as I am changing each individual unit's spell stats this unfortunately doesn't work

Back to the drawing board it seems!

Use GetLocalPlayer() when changing the tooltip. I'm pretty sure that's how people have been doing it all this time.

Still, only works for one single unit per player. If the player selects another unit of the same type, you need to update the tooltip again. If the player selects an allied unit and has shared control, this has to be updated again.
