[General] Need help for autofill

[Shade Da Scout]

So, my ability has 201 levels.Each "tooltip-normal-extended" text should be "current level-1".
example of a tooltip:level1=0, level2=1, level5=4,...
I managed to autofill so tooltip=level.

How to autofill so it would be "level-1"?

1- You shouldn't have an ability with 201 levels... seriously, you should not.

2- Try starting from -1 instead of starting from 0.

 

[Shade Da Scout]

Well, it's kinda not an ability at all.Just an
indicator.

It always starts from 1.How to set it to -1?

You can't by only using WC3, but you could write an external program that simulates key strokes, but that really might end up taking longer than manually entering everything yourself.

Well, there has to be some kind of a way, except for a manual 200 field writing...

is it not possible to allow negative numbers in real by adjusting the map preferences? (file -> preferences -> general)

Never tried it before but I saw it last time when checking my map preferences.

 

[Shade Da Scout]

Nope, that line can't be set to negative as far as I know.

Use the editor's autofill feature to set one of the datafields to 0,1,2,3,4,etc

In your tooltip you can reference that data field, looks like this:
"The hero targets a unit to deal <DataA1> damage to it."
You can then use autofill on the tooltips to have it fill in DataA2 in the second level, DataA3 in the 3rd, etc.

Look at the default spells to see the exact syntax.

You might also need to include the spell's code, which you can see in the editor by hitting Ctrl-D.

 

[Shade Da Scout]

Yup, it worked
I simply created a "Slow", added 201 levels, autofill duration (level-1=duration), added "<A07G,Dur1>", and autofill made it for each level dur1,2,3,...
It shows [Level-1=text] as I wanted
Thank you very much rullerofiron99 as always
Case solved, thread may be closed

You should avoid having so many levels on an ability, it can greatly increase load times.

I'd suggest you rather scale abilities differently. Let's have a total 10 levels, each with say 3 seconds longer than the previous.
Then increase the level/exp requirement for each one increasingly, eg as follows:
Level 1 - 10 kills
Level 2 - 25 kills
Level 3 - 50 kills
Level 4 - 100 kills
etc

to put negative values

hold shift + enter (i learned this in a hard way)

make sure to enable negative values..

@ruleofiron
as long as he preloads the ability it shouldnt be a big deal.

It is a big deal; too many of these abilities and map load time gets really bad.
