[Solved] How to input a number larger than 0, but with more decimal numbers?

[nchp1903]

This is kind of niche, but sometimes when I make an ability, I want to input a number above 0, but very small like 0.001 to avoid infinite duration and such, without using triggers for simplicity's sake.

I've been trying a workaround by copy-pasting the value of the "Amount of Hit Points Regenerated" field from Aura of Blight, which is 0.004 if I remember correctly. Is there a better/more elegant way to do this?

On the same note, is there a way to completely turn off the "0s duration = Infinite duration" thing?

You can just type 0.001 in the duration. And no, you can't turn off 0s = infinite.

I use Storm Bolt as my base ability (1.31 editor fyi) and when I set the Duration - Normal to 0.001 with Display Values as Raw Data, with Shift-Enter, and with Auto Fill Levels, but it always round up to 0.00.

And no, you can't turn off 0s = infinite.

Damn. I was getting hopeful for a solution there for a second.

You will have to use 0.01

Not sure if Shift + Enter lets you save a 0.001 value for Storm Bolt, probably not.

0.01s should normally be good enough, but sometimes, the buff can still show up in that short timeframe. Since I'm kind of a perfectionist when it comes to this stuff, it's quite bothersome.

Not sure if Shift + Enter lets you save a 0.001 value for Storm Bolt, probably not.

No, it doesn't let me, which is why it sucks. Editors should have the option to turn off the "0s = infinite duration" thing, because if I want an ability that lasts really long, I can always set it to 3600 or 7200 seconds.

Anyway, thanks for the help. I'll chalk it up to another one of the editor's bullshittery and mark this as Solved.

You can set up a blank buff with "textures\black32.blp" as icon, it will be invisible in the buff bar, unless players have their cursor right at the exact spot but heh

Otherwise it's time to embrace the eternal glory of Channel ability \o/
