Anyone know how to make red immolation ability for heroes?

I searched 4 pages through a search and I don't know why this hasn't been asked yet...... I can't get the 'Red immolation' (Permanent Immolation) unit ability to work for heroes. I converted it to a hero ability gave it all the same properties as the Hero Immolation ability but I can't add the ability to my hero.

CoFFeiN, do you know the target for the red immolation? Even if you did I think making the units burn red by immolation would be tricky.......

I know how to make complex custom spells, I'm not a noob and I hope this isn't a noobish question but....... Could someone who's done this or knows how to do this please reply?

Immolation is a buff, find it in the appropriate txt file and you can copy over the target art from red to green :D

Edit: btw the path for the art is
Abilities\Spells\Other\ImmolationRed\ImmolationRedTarget.mdl
and
Abilities\Spells\Other\ImmolationRed\ImmolationRedDamage.mdl

OK I figured out how to make it work. Thought it would only be fair to explain it for anyone reading this thread.

Basically I tried editing a unit ability and turning into a hero ability. The problem was with which one I tried editing. There's two 'Permanent Immolation' unit abilities to choose from one is Neutral Hostile - 1, the other is Neutral Hostile 2.

I tried editing Hostile - 1 and ran into problems..... Tried editing Hostile - 2 and everything worked fine :)

Don't know why, but if anyone wants to make this ability go with Neutral Hostile - 2.
