Will this work??

Will copying Frost Nova Data (the whole line) in the AbilityData.slk, then pasting it at the very bottom then changing its Alias, code, uberAlias to... hmm, AUip (yes, all three) allow me to make another entry inside the UndeadAbilityStrings/Func.txt with that code as the new spell Im trying to make? Agh, this must be confusing to you, but plz hlp!

I guess my bottom line is: Can you change the Alias, uberAlias, and code in order to make a new entry in both the AbilityData.slk and <race>AbilityFunc/Strings.txt???

THANKS!

First of all, NEVER change the code. It determines what the spell acts like. Only change the alias and uber alias. And, you gotta find the original frost nova in the UndeadAbilityFunc.txt and string.txt files, and copy those to the bottom. You only need the first part of the spell, cuz theres no way to make multipart spells.

So.. EXAMPLE...

UndeadAbilityFunc.txt

// Death
[AUip] <-- THAT IS MY CODE
Art=ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNGlacier.blp
Researchart=ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNGlacier.blp
Buttonpos=0,2
Researchbuttonpos=0,0
Effectart=Abilities\Spells\Undead\FrostNova\FrostNovaTarget.mdl
Order=frostnova

UndeadAbilityStrings

// Death
[AUip] <-- THAT IS MY CODE
Name=Frost Nova
Tip=Frost |cffffcc00N|rova - [|cffffcc00Level 1|r],Frost |cffffcc00N|rova - [|cffffcc00Level 2|r],Frost |cffffcc00N|rova - [|cffffcc00Level 3|r]
Ubertip="Blasts enemy units with a wave of frost that deals <AUfn,Data12> damage to the target, and <AUfn,Data11> Nova damage. Cold damage slows units' movement and attack rate for <AUfn,Dur1> seconds.","Blasts enemy units with a wave of frost that deals <AUfn,Data22> damage to the target, and <AUfn,Data21> Nova damage.

Cold damage slows units' movement and attack rate for <AUfn,Dur3> seconds."
Hotkey=N
Researchtip="Learn Frost |cffffcc00N|rova - [|cffffcc00Level %d|r]"
Researchubertip="Blasts enemy units around a target enemy unit with a wave of damaging frost that slows movement and attack rate. |n|n|cffffcc00Level 1|r - <AUfn,Data12> target damage, <AUfn,Data11> nova damage. |n|cffffcc00Level 2|r - <AUfn,Data22> target damage, <AUfn,Data21> nova damage. |n|cffffcc00Level 3|r - <AUfn,Data32> target damage, <AUfn,Data31> nova damage."
Researchhotkey=N

After changing all the txt and stuff and buttons and art and stuff, it would work? as long as i keep the orginal code???

As long as you don't change the Code, or try and create your own Bxxx entries it's all good.

Where is the path for the Undead heros death? you know, after an undead hero dies, the skull that floats up. I need it for my Death spell.

Thanks
