Creating new Damage Types

[AznShadowFury]

How do I create new damage types or change the names of existing ones on map editor? I've looked through Gameplay Constants and Interface and can't find it.

I'm not sure if you can change the names or not, but you can change how much damage bonus and damage reduction you get for using a certain attack against a certain type of armor using Gameplay Constants.

You can't. You can only modify the existing which can be found in the Game Interface.

The Icons are called "Icon - Attack Type - <name>"
Names: "Text - General - 'Type: |Cffffcc00<name>|R'"

You Can Change Them But The Changes Are Visible Only In Game!!not In Editor!!go To Ga... And Go To Text-chaos Damage Do Full Damage To All Type Of Armors.change It To What You Want!also If You Go To Text-chaos And Change It You Actually Change The Name You Actually Make You Own Damage Type!!you Can Change The Damage Dealt To Each Armor Too.

Red, wut's with all the random exclamation marks and capitalization...it's really hard to understand that.

Btw, to change the names of attack/defense types go to Advanced -> Gameplay Interface, make sure the Allow Custom Values box is checked and look for the fields that say something like "Text - General - |cffffcc00Attack Type - Normal|r" or "Text - General - |cffffcc00Armor Type - Hero|r". The list is alphabetized but because the entries contain the color code symbols - "|cffffcc00...|r" they are at the bottom of the "Text - General" section.
