Giving a hero frezzing breath?

I've successfully given my heros unit abilties before and it always worked... just had to change the check dependancy flag and move the button so it does not interfer with the normal abilities.
I did all this for freezing breath... and my hero does get it, available (no research needed), in the correct place; the graphics of his attack changes to the freezing breath one as well. However, buildings are NOT freezed.

Anyone got an idea??

TIA,

Hmm...
I've checked the abilities and I see that there are like... 2 things that could be related with Freezing breath
[Afrz] - Freezing Breath
and the one that began to interest me more than the one above:
[Afrb] - Frost Breath

Freezing Breath's targets allowed are "structure,debris,enemy"
BUT
Frost Breath's targets allowed are "air,ground"

Try to change the "Frost Breath" targets to "air,ground,structure"
in abilitydata.slk.

I've alway thought they were separate... I gave my hero Freezing Breath, not the other.
Maybe I should give him both? They might be linked... I do not see why I should change Frost Breath though, since it works for Wyrms.
It could be that Freezing Breath requires Frost Breath though. Will test that tonight.
Thanks for your idea in any case... you seems to be answering a lot of my questions this day :D
BTW, I've got a Mind Control spell working as well, as you proposed in an other thread :ggani:

I got this to work with my hero, but only after changing its attack to Missle(Splash).

I'll do just that. "Feels" more correct than the whole Frost/Freezing Breath thing.

That wouldn't really be hard... there are already two things in the game that have mind control capacity. Possession and the Scepter of Mastery.

First i thought that they are linked (Frost and Freezing Breath) but then I realized that they're sepperate.
Frost Breath is the same as Freezing Breath but when a unit has Frost Breath it
"// Uses missile art and speed from the unit's attack." Sorry - I was thinking too fast. lol

Yes, It is quite possible, I gave it to lich.. I made it so Freezing Breathe works on units, it was pretty cool but they animated while under this big block of ice so it looked kind of stupid :)

Anyways you got to change their attack for it to work. I'm not sure what you have to do but try Trick's advice and use Missle splash.

As for Mind Control, just use Scepter of Mastery, give it mana cost, give it cooldown and change its form to fit hero/unit spells, also add in the Icon, etc.
