I have a spell, well... dummy spell, which changes construction/upgrade progress. Getting right to the point. I need a way to display the % amount of change on a dummy ability.

For example:
If you have 2xLevel 1 Towers, and 1x Level 2 Tower
Your bonus would be: 2x2% + 1x3% = 7%
I need a way to display the 7% on the dummy ability for all 3 towers.

Right now I'm using Lumber to display the amount. And I have also thought about setting it to the Mana of the Tower. But I would like to put it in the Dummy Abilities tooltop IF POSSIBLE.

I think it would be similar to the Synergy ability of the SyllaBear from Defense of the Ancients. Where the Synergy ability increases the movespeed of his bear summon, as well as the Duration of his Rabid skill. The changes are displayed on the skills it affects.

Sorry it's so wordy, but that's the best I could do at this time.

i don't think that what you want can be done in a simple and ellegant fashion (that is - changing a tooltip of a one-level-ability; of course, you can always make a 100-level-ability, autofill the tooltips and set it's level by trigger which would change the tooltip just ike you wanted but would make the map load 10 minutes).

as for your SyllaBear example, explore goblin tinker's abilities in object editor - you'll see that he has four versions of his abilities - one for each level (0,1,2,3) of engineering upgrade.
