Heloes, Hive Workshop!
I'm trying to make an action RPG, but I have one simple problem. I want to make custom spells, all with grid-located hotkeys (q, w, e, r for top row, etc.). Because my spells are going to be customly chosen, every free space on the grid on the interface can have any spell, so making fixed hotkeys isn't logical. Is there any way to change a hotkey via triggering, maybe JASS (script would be handy :) ), so I won't have to make multiple copies of same spell just for them to have different hotkeys?
With this question comes another - is there a way to customize icon's location on interface's grid via triggers (or, once again, JASS maybe)?
I didn't find any such question on google, so I assumed there's no in here either.
Thanks for the reply :)

No you can't, but theres a way around this.

You coul copy and paste your spells and changing the hotkey for every situation.
So when the player chooses a spell you simply need to add the right one. :/

Or if you are mad or insane (or even worse), create dummy spells for each hotkey and cast the saved spell for your hotkey.^^
But I don't really think that this will be a great idea.. xD

Well, okay guys. It'll be only 5 possible places for each spell, so making five copies isn't much, I just wanted to make the map weigh less.
Thanks very much :)
