Custom ability status messages

[BlargIAmDead]

I've just returned to mapping after about a year's absence. Question: I have a custom ability based on Inner Fire, but when it's cast on somebody, I don't want their screen to say "This unit has Inner Fire, blah-blah-blah". Because, yanno, that's not what it is. Can I change it to say "This unit has [insert name here], blah-blah-blah"? If I can't, can I at least stop the status message from showing up at all?

Look for the Inner Fire buff in the object editor and modify its description, if that is what you're talking about.

oh course. create a new buff, based of the currant buff yours has, change the description go to the ability and change the buff to the one you just created, deleting the buff wont do anything

Face-palm.

Yeah, that should work. I'll let you know if it doesn't; otherwise, just assume that I'm a moron and you're awesome.

Well, you should check out the jass function called LocalPlayer(), you can customize what players can/cannot see, but there are some functions that will cause server splits. So this localPlayer thing must be well understood and used correctly!

Erm... this topic is allready solved and this has absolutely nothing to do with it.
