at least some blz natives doesn't work, patch 1.31.1

[lishi1608]

private function learned2 takes nothing returns boolean
        local integer lvl = GetUnitAbilityLevel(GetTriggerUnit(), 'AEfk')
        local ability ab = BlzGetUnitAbility(GetTriggerUnit(), 'AEfk')
        local integer i = 0
        call BlzSetAbilityStringField(ab, ABILITY_SF_NAME, "test")
      
        if not did then
            loop
                exitwhen i == 10
                call BlzSetAbilityStringLevelField(ab, ABILITY_SLF_TOOLTIP_LEARN_EXTENDED, i, "ABILITY_SLF_TOOLTIP_LEARN_EXTENDED")
                call BlzSetAbilityStringLevelField(ab, ABILITY_SLF_TOOLTIP_LEARN, i, "ABILITY_SLF_TOOLTIP_LEARN")
                call BlzSetAbilityStringLevelField(ab, ABILITY_SLF_TOOLTIP_NORMAL, i, "ABILITY_SLF_TOOLTIP_NORMAL")
                call BlzSetAbilityStringLevelField(ab, ABILITY_SLF_TOOLTIP_NORMAL_EXTENDED, i, "ABILITY_SLF_TOOLTIP_NORMAL_EXTENDED")
              
                call BlzSetAbilityRealLevelField(ab, ABILITY_RLF_MAXIMUM_TOTAL_DAMAGE, i, 0.0)
                call BlzSetAbilityRealLevelField(ab, ABILITY_RLF_DAMAGE_PER_TARGET_EFK1, i, 100.0 * (i + 1))
                call BlzSetAbilityRealLevelField(ab, ABILITY_RLF_AREA_OF_EFFECT, i, 1000.0 * (i + 1))
                call BlzSetAbilityRealLevelField(ab, ABILITY_RLF_COOLDOWN, i, 10 / (i + 1))
                call BlzSetAbilityIntegerLevelField(ab, ABILITY_ILF_MANA_COST, i, 100 / (i + 1))

                set i = i + 1
            endloop
            set did = true
        endif

I tested the ability of "Fan of Knives" and demon hunter's "evade". BlzSetAbilityStringField and BlzSetAbilityStringLevelField doesn't work. BlzSetAbilityRealLevelField, BlzSetAbilityIntegerLevelField in the above case works.

Is it a bug?

// edit: the following works

call BlzSetAbilityTooltip('AEfk', "ability tooltip", i)
call BlzSetAbilityExtendedTooltip('AEfk', "ability extended tooltip", i)
call BlzSetAbilityResearchTooltip('AEfk', "ability research tooltip", i)
call BlzSetAbilityResearchExtendedTooltip('AEfk', "ability research extended tooltip", i)

Most of the new natives that I tried didn't end up working. I wanted to edit the Sentinel ability so I could have an ability with charges (the only ability I know of that uses charges) but unfortunately it didn't work. And I still have issues with the UI when using the set cooldown functions, sometimes the button doesn't play it's cooldown animation. Guess we just have to wait for them to sort it all out.

sigh. Hope it works in some recent update.

If functions like BlzSetAbilityStringLevelField return false, it means the field cannot be set with them. A lot of fields cannot be set with them.
