[Solved] Update tooltips per level (in a 50-lvl ability)

[GangSpear]

Is there have a faster way to complete description of my spell?
Because my spell has 50 level,i hard to complete the tooltip and level tooltip,any ideas?

Right click -> press copy. Now just Ctrl + V on each similar field
Or just: Ctrl + C ->>>> Ctrl + V the destination field.

There is also 'Autofill level' option if you right-click field in ability that has more than 1 level.
For tooltips, change nothing in wandow that gonna appear, just accept it by clicking 'Ok'.

Yeah,i know use 1 only,but 3% doesn't work?
i want 3,6,9,12,else.Replace Level is 3,but all turn into 3 what the!

If it's custom data, you can not do that in simple way. Basically you're forced to write everything (everywthing means just numbers here) by yourself.

Press crtl+D (display as raw data).
Then you see your spell's ID, something like 'A00D'.
And the values of your spell are Rng1,2,3 .. DataA1,2,3 ...

Example (Unholy Aura):
ID is 'AUau'
Movement speed is 'DataA1' to 'DataA3'
The tooltip is
Increases nearby friendly units' movement speed by <AUau,DataA1,%>% and life regeneration rate.
(note the ',%'. This multiplies the actual data by 100 for the tooltip. You can just leave it away for non-percentage values)

Now just auto refill using the default values.

If you want to use custom formulas the only was is to use a data field that isn't used by the spell.
For example if you use an aura, you can use the cooldown time for custom formulas.

I tried doing kleinerhauck way, but when you call 'AUau' data, you actually call the Original WC3 Default Skill data, and not your custom skill (Based on 'AUau') data, so, that would only work when manipulating the common WC3 abilities, and not custom created. (As far as I Know)

When you use auto fill, there's an option to use a static increment. You can get the values to 3,6,9,12... I think it is called level incement. I don't have the editor on this computer so I can't check it.

^But that doesn't apply to tooltips unfortunately ;/

You could just set the formula on the tooltip for the user to think a bit. You can post a legend of the symbols in a Quest for users to understand tooltips, and set the formula in the skill tooltip like '(Ulvl * Slvl) + (SP)' Would be '(Unit Level * Skill Level) + (Spell Power)' or whatever. As long as the formula is the same for all the skill levels.

Your custom abilities get new IDs.. just press Ctrl+D and look what they are in the tree-view at the left.
For example the first custom ability has the ID A000.
So you just write <A000,DataA1> to get the value from DataA1, then auto-fill.
It's really comfortable.

Ooh.. using A000 instead of Auau... never tough about that.

[GangSpear]

I already solved the problem,using Ctrl+C(Oh man damn long) and Ctrl+V

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Well, In several clicks, you could save a hell of a lot of time.

 

[kleinerhauck]

Maybe he understands the advantage when he wants to change the 3% to 4%

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Raw Data would change as well - it would always follow the Data statistics, and use them properly in the tooltips.
