How to copy ability from one map to another

[Darth Vitiate]

Hello, can someone tell me how to copy ability from one map to another in reforged version? Every time when I saved map after copying ability to my map custom unit models turns invisible. This abilities don't have any triggers, custom models so i don't know how to fix problem, i also switched asset menager to sd and restarted editor because i'm playing in classic graphics and it didn't help

Theres probably a couple or few ways to do it. The way I like to do it and what Id reckon is the usual way is:
Open the editor
Open the map I wish to copy from via the editor
Open the map I wish to paste to via the same editor
Traverse instantly between the maps with Window -> select desired map

I have heard about errors with imported assets if one has two editors open at once while saving but thats just what Ive heard. That said how do you do it currently when getting that error?

Thank you very much for replying, at first I got "could not load imported file" error while importing custom units from one map to another, when I changed asset just like it is in map from which i copied custom unit problem was fixed. Later when I copied very simple ability (which doesn't have custom models, dummy, triggers,) I got same "could not load imported file" error and custom units again became invisible. I copied many hard spells in 1.31 version that works, but i don't know how to fix this in Reforged

Custom units should not become invisible so something is terribly wrong.

However you did not answer my question. I want to know how you copy a spell from one map to another. How do you do it? The method of copying may be the problem.

However if the initial problem was fixed for units when pre-importing all requirements that may be the same for the abilities. The ability may require custom - a buff, techtree requirements, effects, art, sound and icons.

I opened default map, than i opened at same time other map with custom spells and units, i clicked copy ability and in default map paste ability (sorry my Emglish is not very good) in 1.31 version that method worked but I don't know why it doesn't work in Reforged

I still dont quite understand because there are several different ways to do that but my assumption you have two editors open. Do you do it like this, with one editor?

Ok maybe I post my test map so maybe you can understand. Sorry for bothering you but I dont know what is problem, i opened only 1 editor just like you

Ok I know what the problem is. I tried to copy spell from another map and it worked, first ability didn't work because I copied it from 1.30 Campaign, this spell that works is from reforged map, but I still want to know if it is possible to copy spell from non reforged version to reforged, especially spells that have triggers

I dont have an answer but I have something to try. Open the 1.30 map in the reforged editor and in Scenario -> Map Options, set Game Data Set to Melee (Latest Patch). Save the map as a new map. Close it. Try to copy from this new map to the default map.

To copy triggers its suggested to enable an option in File -> Preferences -> General and tick Automatically create unknown variables while pasting trigger data

Thank you very much, that helped, and one more question. Do you have idea how i can copy spell from custom campaign to my map? It' impossible to save set game data to melee in custom campaign maps

Skip that step and just save it as a new map in reforged editor. Does that work?

Unfortunately no, when I saved as new map all custom units, spells,... are deleted
