No hotkey and no colors on sold units tooltips.

[Macadamia]

Hello again,

Another issue I have with my building selling upgrades for hero custom attributes is the fact that the hotkey and the tooltips don't work properly.

I use a few basic Lua triggers and make the building sell units with the attributes icons.

When the building sells one of the attributes "units", i set the total bonus for this attribute in its dedicated global variable array, that is used by the trigger setting the hero attributes and attributes bonuses (mostly critical strike damage multiplier and attack bonus, the last one decreases attack cooldown automatically as it's a wrapper for agility without armor bonus).

Once again it all works perfectly, but then the hotkey i have set for the units (P for power, D for dexterity and V for velocity attributes) does not show in the unit's tooltip nor work.
Also the sold unit's tooltips are just plain white in spite of their name and tooltip being like "Increase Dexterity by 1".

Any idea how to fix both these issues ?

EDIT : screenshots added to give you a better idea of the issue :

Are these units added to the shop in-game? Items added to shops (such as marketplaces) don't have their hotkeys (last i recall - has been a few years since i've worked with that feature). Might be a similar issue but with units.

Thanks for the input !

Well the problem is I need to stop the stock from regenerating, so I had to add them with triggers in order to manually set the stock max.
As there is no way to suppress the stock replenishment, I suppose I am stuck with this until I find an unexpected way to fix it.

Considering that this Store has limited functionality, maybe I should just emulate its interface with custom UI frames...

Thats a bug when adding a "sold unit" to a building via trigger. If you just add sold units to the building in the object editor you shouldn't get that issue.
I have the same issue with my map,

Thanks, yes as I said I am unfortunately stuck as I need to be able to control the stock max.
Well I suppose it isn't too bad in the end, not like it breaks the map functionality.

You can always create multiple copies of the same building/units in the object editor.
Each unit copy with different stock, and each building copy with the different sold unit copies.
Then just replace the buildings with triggers as needed

I had though of that too, but so far I need 100 and soon 150 as maxes for each attribute.

But thanks for the ideas, I really appreciate. I suppose at some point I have to make compromises.
But I think always trying remains the best way to face problems, thats how one can go beyond the common stuff.
