[General] Overwriting ability, item, etc. description via triggers in 1.26

[micca]

Well, the headline is basically self explaining. How to overwrite such stuff via triggers in the versions before 1.29?

You want to dynamically change the tooltip of a thing during gameplay, is that it?

You can't. Not in vanilla at least, don't think there are any tools providing this functionality either.

You make a copy of it with the changes you want and switch between the things in game.

Edit// There is a map called Powerslave by @Maker I believe it offered randomly generated items with prefix, suffix & a random affinity or something like that... As I remember he's also published the system in the spells section, but I cannot find it... I may be mistaken, but I have definitely seen such system around, it may not be Maker's creation.

OK, thanks for the reply. In 1.29 it's possible, though.

I think memhack could do it, atleast based on its api. But I never used it.
