Use an ability while burrowed?

[Kabel]

I have made so the Infestor can cast Neural parasite while burrowed and unburrowed. When the infestor is unburrowed, the spell has range 9. When the infestor is burried, I try to make the spell have a range of 5.



Is there any way to reduce the range of a spell if the unit is burrowed?

(I can´t find any solution, except create two seperate spells.. But that sounds like a lot of work for such a small matter. )

You will need to create a copy of the ability with less rage. The ability can use the same effect chain so in reality it just means 1 extra data entry (not any effort at all).

Don´t I need to dublicate all actors etc for the new ability? Or can two abilities be connected to the same "data" ?

(I am just afraid it will cause errors or bugs. : / )

No, in general you always need to copy only the data you will change. If you want 2 units because one of the units will have modified stats you still need to copy their main actor (the one with unit icon) plus the unit because a unit actor can be linked only to 1 unit, so an actor for every new unit but for everything else - copy only the data you change, they can use the same source of actors, effects, behaviors and validators. So yes the ability only.

You do not need to copy any actors for the ability. The most you will have to do is add new event entries for any actors that referenced the unit or the ability. All the actors that reference effects will carry across automaticly.
