Introduction


TasSpellView is a custom UI system for Warcraft 3 V1.31 or higher.
It allows to see the abilities of units one can not command.

​

Details


Creates a set of custom buttons over the default command card while one selects an unit of which the player has no control.
The custom buttons display icon, tooltips, current cooldown & current Level. Does not display requirments nor disable state.
The tooltip contain manacosts, cooldown, range and aoe.
For (Warcraft V1.31.1) cooldown, Level & correct tooltip-Level are only displayed when the abilityCodes are provided on an unitCode ('Hpal') base or when you enable the Autodetection of IdData and they were casted or learned. Does not matter if your map only has 1 level skills. Or when the system runs in a Warcraft 3 version with BlzGetAbilityId (with that it can calc it during the match). Reforged has it.

Works for Observers.

The whole Lua system you could copy paste it and it works.

displays with custom UI the abilites of not controled units in the command card

TasSpellView.AddTechReq(skillCode, techCode[, techAmount])
    skillCode requires TechCode of level techAmount techamount is 1 when not provided
    each adds 1 more requirment
    TasSpellView.AddTechReq('Ahwd','Rowd',2)
TasSpellView.AddUnitSkill(unitCode, skillCode)
    units of unitCode have skillCode, you can this multiple times for one unitCode with different skillCodes or once with many skillCodes in one string
    adding skills disables autodetect for units of that unitcode, autodetect works better in Reforged than in Warcraft 3 V1.31.1
    TasSpellView.AddUnitSkill('unec', 'Acri,Arai,Auhf,Aiun')
    TasSpellView.AddUnitSkill('unec', 'Acri')

Updated to V1.1b)
vjass
Fixed a desync reason (Removed ReplayDetection it entered the game in async context which would lead to a dc when not all players were forced to select an unit in the begining)
considers FrameLoader (Warcraft 3 Save&Load)
Fixed the jass AddUnitCodeData example
 
This has so much potential , i wish it could be used on your own units or that has a way to customize it for certain units
(gui friendly would be a bless)
 
You mean like a custom tooltip system. meh that is not so easy or clean to do.

Because the map script api lacks something to know what uses a command button or what is displayed in the tooltip. Therefore one needs to guess it. The guess can fail, and group selection makes it more taxing/incorrect also excludes Warcraft3 V1.31.1 cause V1.31.1 cant know the current main selected unit in group selection, most of my stuff targets V1.31.1.
 
Uploaded V1.1c)
now uses the ui scale options for the command button overlay, that was done by adding a new default simple parent option. The tooltip will not scale.

It is only one line of change, if you want to change by yourself:
Lua: 
,ParentFuncSimple = function()
            if GetHandleId(BlzGetFrameByName("CommandBarFrame", 0)) > 0 then return BlzGetFrameByName("CommandBarFrame",  0) end
            return BlzGetFrameByName("ConsoleUI", 0)
 end

JASS: 
public function ParentFuncSimple takes nothing returns framehandle
        if GetHandleId(BlzGetFrameByName("CommandBarFrame", 0)) > 0 then
            return BlzGetFrameByName("CommandBarFrame",  0)
        endif
        return BlzGetFrameByName("ConsoleUI", 0)
    endfunction
 
Updated Lua version to V1.1d) according to a request
One can disable showing skills for Enemey, Ally, Neutral and Hero. (neutral hostile is is shown when enemy or Neutral is enabled). One can further customize it in a Lua function.
Skills can have a TechReq, need manual setup. Includes Melee Ability Req for Warcraft 3 V1.31.1. When a TechReq is not fullfilled it shows an X instead of the Level in the chargebox.
Can Show Cooldown as Text
Skills can now be displayed in the slot choosen in object Editor. Taking 1 slot twice shows less skills.

Includes a new fdf

Edit: small Hotfix V1.1e) forgot return true in TechReq.

Updated to V1.1g)
Does now work without the fdf & toc when wanted, this is done by a flag in the config of the system. On default it will work without fdf/toc.
Without fdf&Toc it will look a little bit different.

JASS: 
public boolean CodeOnly = true // Create Frames by code only

Lua: 
,CodeOnly = true -- Create Frames by code only

Edit: small fix 1.1h)
dont show tooltip for buttons without data.

Updated Lua Version to V1.2)
use frameVariables instead of FrameByName
the update function performs better, pushed more into the code that runs only when a new unit is detected
Autodetect CodeOnly by the tocPath path or if it fails.
Added UseCommandCardPosHero, UseCommandCardPos is now for none hero
added ShortBigNumber display 100k for 99999 (previous hardcoded into MOD_ABI)
ABILITY_IF_BUTTON_POSITION_NORMAL_Y = -11 is now an exclude reason for AbiFilter

running in Warcraft 3 V1.31.1
Detects FourCC for spells that were used once and trigger EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT or learned by hero. can also detect UnitAddAbility when wanted. This feature is only enabled when BlzGetAbilityId is not found and can only find spells that have a command card pos that is not 0 and not y=-11. it forgets "dead" spells every 20s. it considers spells dead when the command card pos of the spell is not equal to the pos of the get ability pos using the FourCC of that spell.
can be disabled with a setting
Lua: 
  ,IdData = { -- stores Ability to FourCC in Warcraft 3 V1.31.1, does nothing when BlzGetAbilityId is found
            Enabled = 2
            -- 0 -> disable this feature
            -- 1 -> create Learn_Skill Trigger
            -- 2 -> create SPELL_EFFECT Trigger ^^
            -- 3 -> hook UnitAddAbility ^^
        }


Edit: Uploaded V1.2a)
vjass got most of the V1.2Lua version except for running in Warcraft 3 V1.31.1 Detects FourCC
