Invisible Icons for abilities?

[Modeler]

How do you hide an ability, but have it still usable?
Like if i wanted the barrage ability, but without the icon?

 

[Daelin]

Very simple. Just go to Player - Disable Ability and disable the ability for all the players. The passive effect will still remain! And you don't even need to add them to a spellbook. It will work anyway.

Weird, it works for both abilities, there hidden, but now 1 doesnt work like it should.

Its a spell based off of brilliance aura to remove mana, but its not working?

Am i suposed to disable at the start of the game or after the spell is used?

 

[Daelin]

At the beginning of the game and I'm not sure if auras work. For auras I'd suggest a spellbook. But I'm not even sure if it works. Never tried. Try first removing it at the beginning, and THEN the aura thingy. Does it atleast show the buff?

It does not show a buff, it does not do anything, i could remove the multi-instancability and make a trigger to reduce mana. It is disabled at the start of the map, and i dont knwo what you mean by spellbook ability.

 

[Daelin]

Umm... Its simple. The spellbook is an ability (item ability) which can stock more than one spell. Give it your Brilliance Aura (Object Editor) and remove the Spellbook. I guess it should work with this way (I actually HOPE). Auras are more tricky so you might have to trigger the effect.

How the button position work? What determines which button is moved to the right?

 

[Daelin]

Umm... its X and Y. X determines left - right and Y up-down. The scheme of icon grid is like this:

X=0, Y=0 || X=1, Y=0 || X=2, Y=0
X=0, Y=1 || X=1, Y=1 || X=2, Y=1
X=0, Y=2 || X=1, Y=2 || X=2, Y=2

I know, I learned it in school (i'm learning). But what if 2 abilities are set with the same button position. I know that one dissapears or goes to the right, but which then?

 

[Daelin]

Depends on the abilities. Usually the one which is learnt first is put on the position, and then second one is devied. If you have unit abilities, the one assigned in the table first is the one which takes the position. But if I were you, I would try to set the positions of the buttons so they occupy different locations.
