Bug with using 2 Vex Spells on 1 Hero

Im using Frozen Orb and Hydra on my hero. And, the one trained after the other overwrites the first, so if I train Hydra first, then Orb... Then I can only cast Orbs with my Hydra spell.

Bug? :o

both are based from shockwave, when you have two spells based on the same ability this happens, you should blame blizzard for that.

Solutions are limited to well, take carrion swarn make a new ability from it, and copy all the values from the ability Hydra to it (using just object editor) then change the rawcode of hydra to the new hydra spell

Also, all your spells go through trees and othe doodads... I'd like to change that, especially for the Charge ability... Know how? Kinda awkward when your Hero tries to Charge someone and ends up in the trees somewhere.

And how do I fix the Research Image? You know how it goes grey when it's not Researchable... Well, mine are totally neon-green when I cant research the skill...

For the neon green problem it's because the icon you used has no "research" icon for it in the object editor, easy fix.

It has, it's when you CANT train the ability at your current leve, that's when it's green.

the disabled buttons shall be imported in the import manager with the path

ReplaceableTextures\commandbuttonsdisabled\

and their names should be DIS+##iconname##.blp

The target method should be the only thing considered.

Unless there is a constant function that points to the order of the spell, in that case you should also change that

im sry, i dun quite get wat u mean... by saying the target method, do u mean how u gonna call or run the spell ? coz i juz started on creating my own map n im using the caster system 11.5... pls 4giv the noobish-ness...

so if im usin ur caster system, i juz have to change "order string - use/turn on" ? or hav to create a custom ability nt of shockwave n copy everything from ice wave to it ?
