Allows you to create tooltips like these:

Repo dep: Frotty/Ability-Tooltip-Generator

The value for the current level is highlighted, supports custom patterns.

Use the stdlib api of ChannelAbilityPreset with tooltipStartListen() and tooltipStopListen().

Example:

Wurst:
package Snowball
import AbilityTooltipGenerator

public constant SNOWBALL_SPELL_ID = compiletime(ABIL_ID_GEN.next())

constant SPEED = 19.5
constant RealLevelClosure RANGE = lvl -> 900. + lvl * 100

@compiletime function getObjs()
    let tgen = new AbilityTooltipGenerator("An ordinary snowball.")
    new ChannelAbilityPreset(SNOWBALL_SPELL_ID, 4, true, tgen)
    ..setHeroAbility(false)
    ..presetButtonPosNormal(0, 2)
    ..presetTargetTypes(Targettype.POINT)
    ..tooltipStartListen()
    ..presetHotkey("Q")
    ..setName("Snowball")
    ..presetIcon("BTNFrostBolt")
    ..presetCooldown(lvl -> 1.75 - (lvl / 4))
    ..presetManaCost(lvl -> 4 - (lvl / 3).toInt())
    ..presetCastRange(RANGE)
    ..setLevelSkipRequirement(0)
    ..tooltipStopListen()

RANGE is external here so it can be used in the actual spell mechanic as well.

Code:
Wurst:
package AbilityTooltipGenerator
import public ChannelAbilityPreset
import HashMap

@configurable constant TITLE_COLOR = "|cff3B97D3"
@configurable constant TITLE_TTYPE = "Targettype:"
@configurable constant MAX_TITLES = 10
@configurable constant LEARN_PATTERN = "[|cffFFCC00$hotkey$|r] |cffFFCC00Learn|r $name$ - [|cffffcc00Level %d|r]"
@configurable constant NORMAL_ACTIVE_PATTERN = "$name$ - Level $lvl$ [|cffFFCC00$hotkey$|r]"
@configurable constant NORMAL_PASSIVE_PATTERN = "$name$ - Level $lvl$"

public class AbilityTooltipGenerator implements TooltipGenerator
    private constant propMap = new IterableMap<string, StringLevelClosure>
    private var description = ""

    private var levels = 1
    private var hotkey = ""
    private var name = ""

    construct(string description)
        this.description = description

    construct()

    override function addProperty(string title, StringLevelClosure lc)
        propMap.put(title, lc)

    override function applyToDef(AbilityDefinition def)
        levels = propMap.has("Levels") ? fixValue(propMap.getAndRemove("Levels").run(0)).toInt() : 1
        name = propMap.has("Name") ? propMap.getAndRemove("Name").run(0) : "unnamed"
        hotkey = propMap.has("Hotkey") ? propMap.getAndRemove("Hotkey").run(0) : "Q"
        targettype = propMap.has("Targettype") ? propMap.get("Targettype").run(0).toInt() castTo Targettype : Targettype.NONE

        var s = ""

Funny someone is still using this!
Originally I didn't want to continue, since HappyTauren was working on a better version, but it doesn't look like he will finish that.
So I might bring something like this back as git repo dependency and up to date.
Thanks in any case, glad you like it ;)

Glad to hear that!

I will actually have to alter the system a bit, cause I am implementing so called "Ranks" for abilities- meaning, I have one ability definition, and after certain level, another Rank takes place (1-3, 4-6 ex...), and each rank needs to have different values (and possibly effects).
The problem arises when the ability has over 8 or so levels (I have 12 so far and gonna be more maybe...). The text is just getting wrapped and it does not look so neat and pretty.

But besides that, its really awesome!

Hello, how can I format real value with percent? e.g. "40%/60%" instead of "0.4/0.6"?
I do it like this:
JASS:
..addTooltipProperty("Damage Reduction", lvl -> (DAMAGE_REDUCTION.run(lvl) * 100).percRound())
where percRound() function is:
JASS:
public function real.percRound() returns string
  return (this.toString(0) + "%")

The result is: (actual real values are 0.1, 0.15, etc)
