New Spell Creation

I've run into a little snag, I have noticed that abilities in the TFT editor (UMSWE) are very specific. What I mean is, they are very limited in that you can't add poison damage to critical strike. (example) cause there are no values for it. The spell I want to make is a % chance to add poison damage to an attack. More important I would like to know how to manipulate these values so I can do pretty much whatever I want (within values) If someone could help me out with this, I would be greatly appreciative.

The new editor will allow you to do this via the buff editor, but the new editor is cumming out for christmas most liklely. Your best bet is MPQ editing.

Chance to cast poison? Why not use the Slow orb effect. Use Slow Orb to determine chance and use the skill of Shadow Strike to mock the poison type. Might not be the same, but you can simulate the effect if you're impatient for the new editor...like I am

So this has actually been confirmed, or are you just a wishful thinker?

If it has, could you please post the source so I can check it out? ;)

That's what I was referring to.... If it is confirmed that patch 1.13 WILL include the buff editor, I'd like to see it in writing.

Meaning I'll kill both half the Blizzard staff and Scio along with his fellow UMSWE developers...

The only thing that would make the map crash with patch 1.13 will be if Blizzard added new triggers , And I am quite negative about that , I don't think blizzard will ever touch the triggers (but I would love them if they do it)
