Change Ability tool tip in game for each hero

[Shunpomaster]

I made a long ability tool tip change in game and then i found out that it change the base Ability tool tip instead of for specific hero or player. Is there a way through triggers (Gui) to Change tool tip for each hero?

I don't see any other way than to create separate abilites, unfortunately.

Maybe there's some native for it in JASS but I don't know JASS so can't help you there.

You can try wrapping BlzSetAbilityTooltip in a GetLocalPlayer block if you want it per player.

If you want it to work per unit, you can try ABILITY_SLF_TOOLTIP_NORMAL with BlzSetAbilityStringLevelField.

To many abilities with lots of levels to do that lol

i am fine with for player or specific unit both work. I don't really know about jass but Pyrogasm helped me with something similar recently.

• Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == udg_PlayerVariable then
  • Set StringVariable = SomeString
  • Custom script: endif

Will this work?

Yes but I don't think it's necessary to set the string locally, you can just call the native. I'm not totally sure on this though. The problem with setting the string locally is that you will need to make sure you don't overwrite the tooltip string for other players beside the local one too.

• Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == udg_PlayerVariable then
• Custom script: call BlzSetAbilityTooltip('Ahea', "Your string", 0)
• Custom script: endif

Unfortunately, these don't work yet. But eventually you should be able to do something like this:

• Ability - Set Ability: (Unit: (Triggering unit)'s Ability with Ability Code: Animate Dead)'s String Level Field: Tooltip - Normal ('atp1') of Level: 0 to Blah blah blah
• Ability - Set Ability: (Unit: (Triggering unit)'s Ability with Ability Code: Animate Dead)'s String Level Field: Tooltip - Normal - Extended ('aub1') of Level: 0 to Blah blah blah
