Hidden passive abilities

For my map I'm using all custom debuffs so I can control them with triggers easily, and it would be useful if I could just add and remove hidden passive abilities with negative values to units for some of them. The problem is that while I know how to temporarily float a passive ability, the button comes back once there is room again, limiting me to item abilities and such. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

I don't believe that there is any way to hide abilities that have icons, except that you can give it an all-black icon and no tooltip text.

I've been thinking about that ever since the fixed that damn bug. I've come up with a way that hasn't been possible for the longest time.. It may be possible now.

Basically you take all your abilities and put them into an array.

Now have a trigger run whenever an ability is added or learned that checks the array and counts how many abilities you actually have that show.

Then it uses a For Loop to add that many of the black abilities to always keep the no show abilities off the screen..

You may just wanna give the Useless abilities a nice icon that shows its just a placeholder or something like that. I havn't thought about this a whole lot but i think it would work quite nicely.

you can hide passive abilities in inventory~~

1] add some item with passive abilities in your inventory~~
2] add a custom inventory ability to hero

THAT'S ALL ! ^_^

if you give it no tooltip text, won't it say: Tooltip missing!

Make it a single space.
