I would like to know how work the Button Position in ability or anywhere in the editor.
Art - Button Position - Normal (X)
Art - Button Position - Normal (Y)
Art - Button Position - Research (X)
Art - Button Position - Research (Y)
Art - Button Position - Turn Off (X)
Art - Button Position - Turn Off (Y)
...

How this work. I just want to be sure and I know its between 0 and 2.
I just want some precision on all about this.
Thank you!

No problem.

First, the Normal button is the button that appears in the command card. The Research button is the button that appears when you click the red plus to learn hero skills. The Turn Off button is for skills like Divine Shield or Immolation that can be deactivated once they're started.

The command card is 4 buttons wide and 3 buttons tall. The first button position is 0,0. That's right here:

:\ :\ :\ :\

The last button position is 3,2 (which basically means 3 over, 2 down). That's here:

:\ :\ :\ :\
:\ :\ :\ :\
:\ :\ :\ ^_^

So a button at 2,2 is thus:

:\ :\ :\ :\
:\ :\ :\ :\
:\ :\ ^_^ :\

And a button at 0,1 is thus:

:\ :\ :\ :\
^_^ :\ :\ :\
:\ :\ :\ :\

Is that enough to figure it out?

Panto invented a socially acceptable way of spaming smilies. ^_^

Anyway, just to add something to your post that might not be obvious to everyone: when you write the number pairs (like 0,0 or 3,2), the first number is the X coordinate and the second is the Y.

This exactly what I want, easy to understand and fast way to explain.
I like the way you used to explain this. ^_^ :D
