few basic questions about spell/abilities editing

Where can i edit some variables that are apperently not editable in the WE itself. Like for example i want to change the attack bonus that the Gloves of Haste give, but for the lifr of me i cannot find how.

Another thing is the cooldown on items. I want to reduce the cooldown on the Staff of Silence, however it only lets me select a cooldown group (like: Silence). Am i assuming correctly that it takes the cooldown from the Silence ability/spell then?

attack bonus?? u mean attack speed bonus? Look in Special-Items-Item Attack Speed Bonus and that 0.15 is 15%. It even says Attack Speed Increase. And i dont think staff of silence uses The unit ability of it look for a silence item ability cause it uses no mana.

It using a item ability because its a item. You can change the cooldown at Special-Items-Item Silence-stats cooldown.

You can also change the it so it has no cool down by changing ignore cooldown under standard items-permanent to true.

ok, the problem for you is that you are in the wrong area. The effect of items are handled as abilities. Go into the ability editor, then go to special, then items. For your example, the "ability" is Item Attack Speed Bonus (Gloves of Haste). Like was said before, you actually can't increase damage bonus (although that can easily be handled with triggers).

Same thing for the staff of silence. In the items "ability" section, one of the options is cooldown, as in a value.
