hi all,

I want 1st to know if you know a way to make a passive ability (like Elune's Grace) become an aura.
My second question is : Is it possible to change units ability like a unit's gold cost or its damages with JASS code (or any other way) ???
Finaly is it possible to create new attack types or armour types (like pierce, normal...) or change the domage/armor table (this ) ???

thx

1st: Make a custom Ability and set
Art - Caster : to the Caster Effect of an Aura
Art - Caster Attachment Point : origin
Art - Caster Attachments : 1

Art - Target/Att. Point/Att.s (same as above with the Target Effect of an Aura)

The change Area of Effect to the Radius of the Aura (your choice) and set Targets Allowed to Air/Friend/Ground for ex.

2nd: open your Object Editor boy :ggani:

3rd: As far as I know you can change them in the WorldEditor at: Advanced-> Game Constants somewhere in he top half.

Well if u want to make it inGame I´m sure you can make a Trigger which changes this stuff.
Since you mentioned JASS I assume this shouldn´t be a problem for you (just joking I´m just to busy to try it right now, maybe ill post it later if no one has done it before)

You can try, but I doubt that it´ll work. some effects just don´t work as an Aura. Maybe make an aura without any effect and Trigger it so that it uses the Buff of this Elune´s Grace on ever unit in range xxx.
