Change control button

[sammath]

How can I change a control buton for any ability?
Ex: The patrol Buton want to change for a custom skill (for every unit or a single unit)

 

[deathismyfriend]

if u just want to change the icon you can do this under Game Interface. icon - command - patrol

 

[Arhowk]

you cant change it for a single unit. deathismyfriend's solution will work for the icon, you have to import a custom data file for the tooltip, and you will never be able to add mana to it

I know how to change an icon in the game interface panel... I'm asking to change the patrol buton funtion for any other skill (aura, Aoe, single target, whatever)...

Hmr maybe thats the way to give a new use to the patrol skill and eny other command buton

Open war3.mpq with the War3 Model Editor, and go to "Units"
Search for the files "CommandFunc.txt and CommandStrings.txt", first is to determine the location of the button(s) in the UI and second one is to set the strings of the command (tooltip).

You will need to export those two files, edit them and import them into your map using the same path (Units\Name.txt)

Thats the only thing you could do with them. Other than that, theres no alternative to replace them with an ability.
