[Spell] How to rename a buff (via triggers)

[Aldeia]

Hello , so i am using buffs as a way to show player achievments (and my map contains like 20+ achievments)
(usually the buff is shown in Hero Status, since players have only 1 hero to control.)
So i was wondering if is it possible to renambe the buff description.
(like if player has achievments 1 + 2 , set buff description to Custom Description 1 + Custom Description 2)
or is there some other way i could do that.

I don't know if it is possible to alter the names through triggers, but you could always just create doubles of the abilities and buffs (so ability (editor suffix 2) has buff with name2). time consuming like everything else in the OE, but it will get the job done...

i was thinking of that , but i have more then 20 achievments.
and if player got achiev nr 1 and nr 6 , i need to give him only this achievments in buff list , so creating 400+ buffs is kinda to much.

I know this does not answer your question, but another way you could do it is as dummy spells in a spellbook. than you can look through them at leisure and they are not always in your face, they each have a relevant flashy icon, and most importantly - you only have to make just the 20.

i want other players to see the players achievments too

You can use the spellbooks but have the abilities based off auras. Then have multiple levels with a different description for each level of the ability. That way the hero will have the buff so others can see them and you can change their name and descriptions by changing the ability's level.

still doesn't fix my problem , it will still require for me to create over 400 buffs.

Use Select Unit and logics tied to shops instead?

I recall units that have the Select Unit ability will have their ability visible to other players.
