Looking for a dummy ability for Heroes

[pred1980]

Hi,

i want to give an hero a dummy ability which is 100% hidden, No icon, no buff icon. I just want to ask for GetUnitAbilityLevel == 1 to do somethings... what i can i take. It should not have any effects for the hero!!

Best Reg.

Tornado slow, attribute bonus and fountain regen auras have no icon. Some abilities set to item do not show icon as well.

 

[pred1980]

and do they all have no buff icon too?

Pretty much all item abilities would do?
Claws of attack for example, edit the damage increase to 0 and you're good to go.

 

[pred1980]

aha, and you are sure when i add this ability to the hero, there will be NO icon and no buff icon?

 

[DEE-BOO]

Some aura based abilities will still show the icon even if they are set as Item Ability True.

 

[pred1980]

hm ok... i'll test it if one of them show nothing.

100% certain, if you carry attack claws +9, no ability is shown, right?

I'm at work. I'll test it later.

What are you trying to achieve from this? If you have a Unit Indexer, then just use
'Set someInteger[CustomValue of Hero] = someLevel' or if it is just for a boolean comparison, just add the Hero to a Unit Group. Instead of GetUnitAbilityLevel(hero, ability) == 1, you use IsUnitInGroup(hero, someGroup).
It makes things easier/more efficient than using an ability.

ahh, good idea with the group. Thx
