[Solved] Struggling with another ability

[SunnyD]

I can not for the life of me figure out why this is happening.

I made a custom spell called Shadowgrip, similar to frost aura or slow aura from Tornados. I even used the slow aura from Tornados as the basis for the spell. Yet when I include it in a character, it titles the spell Endurance Aura and gives the Endurance Aura tooltip.

In-game screenshot of what the skill looks like.

Skills list for the hero in question - no Endurance Aura.

I don't see Endurance Aura listed anywhere in the spells on the hero, or in the custom spell, yet it appears as Endurance Aura in-game. Any thoughts, comments, helpful advice, etc?

I think that Abilities marked as "Item Ability = True" doesn't allow to manipulate the skill tooltip and stuff... anyway

Text - Name' Field is just for the Object Editor, not the Ingame Tooltip`.

1- Be sure to be adding the correct skill
2- Make it an Unit Ability (Disable Hero and Item ability) and you'll se the fields to edit tooltips.

I'm not sure if you can turn it later to Item ability again and retain the same tooltips... you can try.

Uncheck item ability. (Hero abilites are for heroes, item abilites for items, none checked is a normal ability).
Then you can edit the tooltip.

Tried this, and curiously, the spell disappeared from the character's ability section, though still constituted as an active status on the enemies being affected. Works fine for my purpose; though not quite what I was trying to accomplish.

Ah? "Character's Ability Section"? You mean the Command Panel? where you give orders to your units?... It's impossible...

BTW, Slow Aura REALLY DOESNT SHOW ON THE UI... that's why it is mostly used as a base for custom buff placers...

 

[Spartipilo]

hmmm Adiktuz, could you give me an example? I didn't get it

 

[Adiktuz]

Slow aura based unit abilities are hidden on the unit's UI... you won't see it...

for example in this pic of my new cooldown system for my proj, I use a slow-aura based ability to put a custom buff on the unit:

You see the buff that the ability has, while the ability itself is not shown on your command UI...

 

[SunnyD]

@ Spartipilo - yes, the Command Panel, couldn't think of the name of it.

@ Adiktuz - Precisely what it does, I guess I'd never realized that, thanks for the new information.
However, why was it saying Endurance Aura with Endurance Aura's tooltip, if I used Tornado's Slow Aura as the base?

 

[Adiktuz]

I think because back then you ticked the item ability option to be true... which means, slow aura when set to be an item ability is just the same as endurance aura...

 

[SunnyD]

Mmm, that would make sense. Thanks for the help ^^
