Item Abilities TO Hero Abilities

[Izzen@WC3]

Hi
I have made alot of spells for heroes.
And i have made alot out of item abilities, for example "Fire attack" which adds fire to melee atatcks. It works, BUT the icon is not shown in gameplay, at the heroes ability bar.
WHY!? PLEASE HELP!

You're giving item abilities to heroes?

Uncheck the box that says 'Item' and check the one that says 'hero' and then make sure you have given it an icon.

Im not that stupid. I have done both of those things:
still ain't working

Well, as far as i know, item abilities especially the passive ones dont get icons in the hero (or unit) panel. To get an icon to be shown, you must use a base Hero spell (passive) with the ability of Fire Attack. e.g make an ability called Fire Bonus (based on Evasion). Set the evasion chances to 0%. Then cre8 a trigger that when a hero gets the basic Fire Bonus spell (that works like a dummy) it will add also the other ability that the icon is not shown.

Ill try and find the trigger to do this.

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Learns a skill
• Conditions
  • (Learned Hero Skill) Equal to (Your Fake Spell)
• Actions
  • Unit - Add (FIRE BONUS) to (Learning Hero)
  • Unit - Set level of (FIRE BONUS) for (Learning Hero) to (Level of (Your Fake Spell) for (Learning Hero))

It would look like this ^^

For Fake spell use use Evasion; like RedBlade suggested and edit Evasion info according to Fire Bonus spell.

You got it Beliar_ ! this should work. I think also the Fire Bonus does not occupy any button positions even if it exists (i think)...

No Item Fire Attack Bonus indeed does not show up among other abilities when learned so its perfect for attaching stuff. By the way Izzen@WC3 problem helped me solving one of my attachment issues

Thnx u guys, i'll try it.
But can I do the same thing with a ability i have which giver "bonus hitpoints"(It aswell is a base "item ability")?

/btw i hate that Blizzard just can't do all the spells in all Hero/Unit/Item form!

Also, what should i write at "A Unit"? - its red (Unit) when nothing is shown

I didn't really understand that, but I think you are doing the trigger posted above; You have different types of events. The one you have selected is Specific Unit Event...

Select>>>> Generic Unit Event and then Starts an effect of an Ability.
