Interesting tooltip stuph.

hello, ive been playing around with tooltips for my hero abilities in the hero arena i am creating (mainly trying to find something that looks 'good')
ive found several things that may be of some use to you people, mainly, going into notepad, or whatever your favourite text editor is, and pasting your "research" tooltip (the one where you normaly display the stats for each of the levels of the ability), you can use enter instead of |n like you normaly have to do while editing in WE. the other thing, there doesnt appear to be much of a limit to the size, so this works perfectly as the research tooltip:
Temporarily infuses the Mystic Sharpshooter's bow with magical energies, allowing it to fire projectiles at greatly increased distances.
|c00800000[|r|c00ff0000Level 1|r|c00800000]-[|r|c0000ff00+100 Range|r|c00800000]|r
|c00800000[|r|c00ff0000Level 2|r|c00800000]-[|r|c0000ff00+200 Range|r|c00800000]|r
|c00800000[|r|c00ff0000Level 3|r|c00800000]-[|r|c0000ff00+300 Range|r|c00800000]|r
|c00800000[|r|c00ff0000Level 4|r|c00800000]-[|r|c0000ff00+400 Range|r|c00800000]|r
|c00800000[|r|c00ff0000Level 5|r|c00800000]-[|r|c0000ff00+500 Range|r|c00800000]|r
|c00800000[|r|c00ff0000Level 6|r|c00800000]-[|r|c0000ff00+600 Range|r|c00800000]|r

notice i dont have to use |n to have a line return.
also, if you have questions regarding tooltips ask away, i'll try and help you. :)

Incidentally, pre-1.13 I believe there was a character limit to the research tooltip, and most of the others. It was a painfully low limit, too.

is there a kind of tooltip editor or sumthin that makes it easier to understand for example how to make a hot key for a unit at a barracks instead of some long stuff like |cfff0000M|rarine?




PLZ reply

That just makes the letter M a different color.

The Hotkey is actually one of the fields you can change. Look for it. All you have to do is type in a letter in the hotkey field!
