Custom ability has the starfall model even though I changed it

[Verb8im]

I'm trying to create a custom ability based on Starfall, but but it has the monsoon lightning instead of the stars raining down. I've already changed the buff and effect to monsoon, but its still starfall. I even changed the starfall in the normal nightelf abilities tab to be monsoon, but nothing's working. It worked in classic, but I'm trying in reforged graphics/editor, and nothings working.

I'm familiar with classic only, so this may not be applicable. What comes to my mind along the lines of similar issues I've faced before, it could be in the buff or the effects that the ability uses. Even if you change all art with the ability's own data fields, the art will still be there if it is instead attached to an effect or buff the ability uses, so you will need to edit those instead (or in addition to).

Tried that, nothing works. I've tried to change pretty much everything relevant about the 2 abilities, and nothing

I have version 1.32.10 and it works for me. The key is to change the original buff and effect, not create a copy.

So dont make a custom ability based on starfall, edit the original starfall in the night elf ability tree? I tried that too and didn't work. Though I think I only tried once just as an offhand to see if anything changed. I can get the effect of monsoon, with the clouds and rain, just not the lightning missile

No, it works for custom starfall ability as well. Check the attached map. Take a look at what I set in the object editor -> Buff/Effects tab.
In the tab, check the "Night Elf/Buff/Starfall (Target)" and "Night Elf/Effect/Starfall (Effect)"
