BlzSetAbilityRealLevelField is not working

[HerlySQR]

Hello, this is the first time I'm using this function, and its not working, I tried to change the damage of an ability based in Cluster Rockets and is not changing, I'm sure that everything is ok, can you tell me what's wrong please?

OnMapInit(function ()
    local Spell = FourCC('A024')
    local StrDmgFactor = 0.15
    local AgiDmgFactor = 0.15
    local IntDmgFactor = 0.15
    local AttackFactor = 0.5

    RegisterSpellEffectEvent(Spell, function ()
        local caster = GetSpellAbilityUnit()
        -- Calculating the damage
        local damage = GetAttributeDamage(caster, StrDmgFactor, AgiDmgFactor, IntDmgFactor) +
                       GetAvarageAttack(caster) * AttackFactor
        -- --
        BlzSetAbilityRealLevelField(BlzGetUnitAbility(caster, Spell), ABILITY_RLF_DAMAGE_AMOUNT_NCS1, 0, damage/12)
    end)

end)

The ability in the object editor

The raw values

Bad luck, running into one of the abilities for which BlzSetAbilityRealLevelField does not work. It works for many things but not for cluster rockets/inferno fields and some others.

I once shared a list for such TasAbilityField Test

This could be wildly off the mark but I remember Cluster Rockets specifically being a dumb as fuck ability to try to modify in the editor. There was always some problem with it or shit didn't work right; I can't quite remember but something like that can maybe be corroborated by @Kyrbi0. If that's the case maybe it affects this. Try modifying a different ability to see if it works... or even a different field on this ability.

I have no clue if Reforged has messed things up further, but I know that even back in 1.16 things were wonky... The Wc3 Ability Insight Google doc has loads of useful info on abilities, but very little on Cluster Rockets. :<

I vaguely recall that the "number of rockets" is purely cosmetic; the damage is set by the ability rather than by the number of rockets.

So my option is replicate the ability, the problem, I don't know how exactly works and I wanna make it similar, this is what I achieve, but I don't get a similar result:

OnMapInit(function ()
    local Spell = FourCC('A029')
    local StrDmgFactor = 0.15
    local AgiDmgFactor = 0.15
    local IntDmgFactor = 0.15
    local AttackFactor = 0.5
    -- The same as it is in the object editor
    local Area = 200.
    local Order = 852652 -- clusterrockets

    RegisterSpellEffectEvent(Spell, function ()
        local caster = GetSpellAbilityUnit()
        local owner = GetOwningPlayer(caster)
        local cx = GetUnitX(caster)
        local cy = GetUnitY(caster)
        local x = GetSpellTargetX()
        local y = GetSpellTargetY()
        -- Calculating the damage
        local damage = GetAttributeDamage(caster, StrDmgFactor, AgiDmgFactor, IntDmgFactor) +
                       GetAvarageAttack(caster) * AttackFactor
        -- --
        damage = damage / 6
        local counter = 6
        Timed.echo(function ()
            if counter == 0 or GetUnitCurrentOrder(caster) ~= Order then return true end
            local angle = 2 * math.pi * math.random()
            local dist = Area * math.random()
            local tx = x + dist * math.cos(angle)
            local ty = y + dist * math.sin(angle)
            local missile = Missiles:create(cx, cy, 25, tx, ty, 0)
            missile.source = caster
            missile.owner = owner
            missile.damage = damage
            missile:model("Abilities\\Spells\\Other\\TinkerRocket\\TinkerRocketMissile.mdl")
            missile:speed(700.)
            missile:arc(60.)
            missile.onFinish = function ()
                ForUnitsInRange(missile.x, missile.y, Area, function (u)
                    if IsUnitEnemy(u, missile.owner) then
                        Damage.apply(caster, u, damage, true, false, udg_Machine, DAMAGE_TYPE_NORMAL, WEAPON_TYPE_WHOKNOWS)
                        -- Stun
                        DummyCast(owner,
                                    GetUnitX(caster), GetUnitY(caster),
                                    STUN_SPELL,
                                    STUN_ORDER,
                                    2,
                                    CastType.TARGET,
                                    u)
                    end
                end)
            end
            missile:launch()
            counter = counter - 1
        end, 0.25)
    end)

end)

There is another option which has far less scripting, you have 2 abilities: Blizzard and cluster rockets. Blizzard deals the damage because it's fields can be set and cluster rockets is for stun and missiles, probably let a dummy caster cast cluster rockets.

It could work.

Try increasing and decreasig the ability level after changing the field value.

Sorry, but it didn't work.
