help with a storm hammer ish stun

Hi ive made a new spell and a new buff based off of storm hammer and stun. the caster throws the hammer(changes art and damage value) and when its supposed to hit instead off having the stuned buff its suppose to have my custom time stop buff which is essentially the same except for the tooltips and the swirly art above the target(its supose to be the mana flare ball). anyways the spell works as planned but instead of using my custom buff(time stop) it still uses the stunned buff.. I have chenged the buff in my spell in the ability window
why isnt it working corectly? is it a problem with storm hammer?

i think that the Storm Bolt spell has an effect attached to it... make a new effect (or edit the existing one) and voila, you got urself a nifty mana-flare-ball-stunned unit :))
the effect name is Stun or Stunned .....

No i made a new ability based off storm bolt and made a new buff instead of stunned but when i use the ability it still uses the stun buff rather than my custom

o_O

Do you by chance know which ones?
Storm Bolt is one

Strom bolt DOES recognize new buffs, tons of custom spells and trigger spells are based of storm bolt with different buffs...
just re-check that everything is set right....and how many levels does that spell of yours have ?

i dont see what could be the problem,if you based it off stormbolt...
just make a new buff based off the buff Stunned (Pause) and it will work well, i tried it with Sleep's graphic, and i had no problems.
you must have do ne something wrong, all i did is base it off storm bolt and clone the original buff and apply it for every levels. it does recognizes new buffs, i dont see why it couuldnt. but if you meant change the effects, like make them cripple instead of stun, thats another thing.

The man just said he based it off stormbolt, but made the buff look like sleep. See -

both the hammer and the buffs were based off the original

You gotta read through that post.

what im trying to say is that you can remplace the blue tornado graphic on the overhead but you can't change the effect ( make it Slowed instead of Stunned )

don't accuse ppl of not knowing what their doing, cuz i don't have any probs with the storm hammer either...
altho, it would be nice if blizz made a REAL spelleditor that lets you set the real effect (like slowed, dazed stunned or whatever) instead of just editing the default ones...i know, trigger based/enhanced spells can achieve anything, but it would be alot easier this way :))

that was exactly my point :)))))
well, someone found out that there was a "Stone resource" icon in the game, so they could implement that, altho that was a bad idea (as seen in WC2 beta) it has its cons and pros...and while doing that, they could also re-write the whole thing :)
as for your problem, were you able to solve it ?

U dont by chance have a copy of the alpha with all of the stuff, or at least a list of things taken out do you....
BTW since im the original creator of this topic - i fixed my delimea i just used a dif spell like u suggested

thanks for the pics but i was talking about the actual pack - i have cookies beta pack for both but i was thinking that mabye there were some things that he didnt include so i was hoping there was some1 elses that i could use....also the way warcraftiii.net used to be it had info about removed units and such i wanted to see those...the first link had some but not all

Thanks for ur help so far alpha

ALPHA HAS RIGHT!!! Why dont u trust him?

Many spells can't use other buffs:

Examples: Storm Bolt, Starfall, Blizzard, War Stomp, Fire Bolt, Ice Bolt, Rain of Fire etc... (most with stun buff)
