Set Ability Extended Tooltip

[EverythingsBroken]

Does this function simply not work anymore? Is there any way to achieve a similar effect with out changing the ability level or swapping the ability out?

I had an ability that updated its description in real time. Worked great, completely flawless. Then Blizzard changed something and it hasn't worked since. I literally did not touch the trigger or anything related to it so it can't be on my end.

I've also tried running tests with just a simple "Player 1 enters T as an exact match. Change extended tooltip of Stormbolt to Test"

Doesn't work.

So does this function work for anyone else or did Blizz break it?

Yes, it works on 1.32.7. Remember that at some point, Blizzard's changed almost all function integer parameters from 1-indexed to 0. So, "Ability Extended Tooltip" level field being set to 0 should represent an ability at level 1, then 1 represents level 2, etc...

• Ability - Set Extended Tooltip of Holy Light to Is this thing working? for level 0

They changed this AFTER it was released, correct? This would explain why my spells randomly stopped working. I was unaware of this. Thank you. This helps a lot.

Yes. In July, 2019.

While you're here, they changed how music works as well. My imported songs only play once and don't loop. Got any idea how to fix that?

It's been a long time since I messed with sound/music in War3. Though, I just ran a small test with an imported file and it works nicely. Mine is an MP3 type, 1 channel (mono), sample rate 22 KHz, constant bit rate 160 kbps - tested both as "Music" and "Sound" in sound editor.

I'll keep this in mind and mess around with it. It's just frustrating when something works fine, then Blizzard changes something with out telling anyone and it breaks. The fact they made it so Abyss tileset can't be cast on broke a lot of things for me.

Thank you for your help though.

You're welcome!

Just so you know, my test was quite simple and there were no other sound effects being played at the same time. I'm not sure if there's any bug regarding multiple sounds being played at the same time.
