Hello sorry for making another post ;-;

I just want to ask if it's possible to change the visuals of an ability in Object Editor, if so how? I want to change the Visuals of Priest Heal but instead of the yellow thing, the magic visual is from the Potion of Restoration instead.

You can also use triggers if need be (not necessary here):
  • Special Effect - Create a Special Effect attached to origin of (Target unit of ability being cast)
  • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
Some Special Effects will disappear immediately if destroyed immediately, but that's easy to fix. See my first post here:

What about changing the visuals of Starfall? Is it even possible? I kept trying to figure it out on my self but it doesnt change it. I try to get the missle of Avatar of Vengeance instead

Starfall target effect is changed via the starfall buff, which just looks like that. If you want the missiles from Avatar of Vengeance to rain down from the sky that's not really possible without a custom model, or maybe with triggers and good dummy unit setup.
