hey i need a little help too... look, im making a map and i need to make a Nuclear missile. i wanna turn the STORM HAMER "art" (avatar ability) into the mortar "art", and the IMPACT will be the explotion of the suicidal guy that you can buy in the same place that the Zepeling is (i dont remember his name) can some 1 tell me how to edit those stuffs????

i already tryed to edit the abilityhumanfunc.txt the, in fields Targetart and the Missileart of my new magic but the spell looks like the original.. i dont know why the arts dont changes!

can some 1 post me an example of how to change the ART of the spell and use the art of any other spell plz!!!!!

also i need to know how to add mutiples effects to a single spell.

Example:i wanna make that when the misile stikes the target and explode, also broke the ground like tunder clap (the missile of my spell that i said before), or when i cast the spell FIRST it shows the effect of rencarnation of a hero (the red aura) and after that. a big blast or broke the ground like tunder clap.... its possible to do that??? i can make my spell work and all that but i need to know how to change the arts and addig speccial effects!

THANKS!

Thats quite much (and obviously difficult).
I will look into it.
Just one question: Have you ever edited a spell successfully before?

it's easy if you know how to, but you'll lose the original spell (blizzard in our case) so watch 'n' learn!
Now, that's the original blizzard:
// Blizzard
[AHbz]
Art=ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNBlizzard.blp
Researchart=ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNBlizzard.blp
Buttonpos=0,2
Researchbuttonpos=0,0
Casterart=
Order=blizzard
[XHbz]
Effectart=Abilities\Spells\Human\Blizzard\BlizzardTarget.mdl
Effectsoundlooped=BlizzardLoop
Effectsound=BlizzardWave

Now, do this:
// Blizzard
[AHbz]
Art=ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNBlizzard.blp
Researchart=ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNBlizzard.blp
Buttonpos=0,2
Researchbuttonpos=0,0
Casterart=
Order=blizzard
[XHbz]
Effectart=Abilities\Spells\NightElf\Starfall\StarfallTarget.mdl
Effectsoundlooped=RainOfFireLoop
Effectsound=RainOfFireWave

Here you go!
Hope this will help you!
