war club hero ability / abilities with no icons

has anyone had any luck with making war club into a hero ability? it seems that whenever the unit uses the ability and grabs a tree, his attack info display disappears. the unit is still able to attack ok, but the info card just looks a little odd that way. i thought perhaps it was something with the hero attack type, but it seems to affect the hero no matter what attack type they have at first.

also, i was attempting to make an active version of cleaving attack for a unit. the dummy spell was based off of immolation, since i wanted to use a spell that would drain mana while the passive ability was turned on. i have it so that when immolation is on, the unit is given a unit-type version of cleave; four different spells for each level of the ability. i wanted to set the cleave ability to not have an icon, so it would seems as though a seperate ability wasn't being added in, however, if the ability has no icon, it seems to either use the temp art or just a green block.

if anyone knows any way to get either of those working, i would really appreciate it. thanks.. :)

bah i tried that war club ability on my map...yes it disapeers because it think to understand u got a look at teh mountain giant ... if u want it u got a make hero have 2nd attack i think...not sure try it

well, in testing everything out for war club, i changed all of the stats on one of the heroes ( i believe i used the crypt lord ) to match the mountain giant as best i could. some things i wanted to leave different, such as hero damage and things like that.. but he does have two attacks in the editor. quite confusing.

all warclub does is disable one attack, and enable the other. simple.

And heros never show the second attack

yes, it seems that any second attack for a hero is not shown properly. i thought perhaps i could use a custom upgrade to enable the second attack, but this also removes the attack icon in the info card. how very annoying. i do still wonder why this only seems to affect heroes.. hmm..

i suppose that if i cannot get it to display the siege damage correctly, i could just have it give the hero a bonus to damage with a custom upgrade. he still seems to get the addition to his attack range, so i could keep it as hero damage. it would just be nice to get siege damage working for him.

anyone have any advice for the second thing i was trying with the adding of the passive ability? :)

Well, the best I've been able to get to a blank icon is just save a copy of another icon as a .tga. That should just make it a blank square. The problem is that it still has a tooltip box (even it you delete the tooltip) and it can still ovverride other icons... so put it in (1,1) or whatever where it won't overlap another icon.
