Spell icon isn't showing up...

[Duruka]

I'm making a hero for my campaign, and he has an aura that increases strength. It's based off an item ability. Everything works fine, except when I research the ability it's icon won't show up. Here's the map: View attachment Blood Elf Swordsman.w3x So, does anyone know why the icon isn't showing up? Or am I just terrible at the object editor?

Item skills never show up on the UI. You will need to make a dummy ability that does nothing but shows the icon.

Oh, alright, thanks!

If it were that easy then there would be no need for the disabled spellbook glitch. Certain item abilities still show up on the UI.

What you've done is tried to display an item stat bonus, which typically does not show up on the UI (such as Blades of Attack, Boots of Speed, etc.). Try basing the ability off of Attribute Bonus instead and it should properly be displayed on the UI. However, neither of these options will emit a "strength aura" that increases nearby allied units' strength --you would need to go to a little more effort for that.

I only wanted the hero to get a strength bonus. Thanks for the help, I'll try that.
