You know how when you go to learn a Hero Ability, it has the little menu, and when you read it, it says this:

Hero Abilities

Opens the Menu for blah blah blah...

I cant figure out how to change that... =\ this is the biggest epic fail ever lol

I can only figure out how to edit the icon, which is pretty easily, in the editor go to:

Advanced->Game Interface->Icon - Command - New Skill

Editing the actual tooltip though(I believe is your main intention) I don't think you can. Perhaps it's possible to import a string, and give it a certain path to do so?

If it's a huge ordeal, use a hybrid spellbook code. Don't give the hero any hero abilities, just a unit ability that is a spellbook. This way the the "learn skill" icon doesn't show up.

The spells in the spellbook are just dummy abilities. When cast, it checks to see if the hero has a skillpoint to spend, subtracts it, and adds the ability to the hero. You could also track the level of ability the hero has, as to possibly modify the level of the ability also.

Text - Tooltip - Learn <---- is for the name of the Spell
Text - Tooltip - Extended - learn <---- is for the description of the ability
Art - Icon - Research <----- for the icon of the learn spell


Text - tooltip - normal <---- for the name of the Spell when you have picked it up.
Text - tooltip - normal - extended <---- is for the description of hte ability you have picked.
Art - Icon - Normal <----- is for the icon when you have picked the spell.
