Linking values (points with Ubertip)

I was wondering if anyone had any success with this:

I am trying to use the stats - point value (points) in the Text - Tooltip - Extended (ubertip)... um... like <n00E,points> or something to that effect. The only thing is that I keep getting values of zero. What I am wondering is if there is some ',format-code' like when you are using percentages (,%) that I don't know about... Any help would be appreciated.

Press Alt+D (I think it's Alt+D), then you can see the raw code of abilities and values in the abilities. Your problem could be that you have linked the wrong codes...

No, it's not something that simple... I know I have the right unit name, and the right field, there's something wrong with the format tho... like if you have a decimal you need the ,d (I think that's what it was)...

Well this is what I know:

,% - Used if the value in the editor is expressed as a percentage, multiplies the value by 100 so it turns out as the proper (50/40/whatever)
,. - Used if the value in the editor is to be expressed in-game as its full real value(5 versus 5.25)

The reason I wanna do this is so this way I have a trigger for used for keeping track of those values (in game income thing) which would make it real easy because then you change the one value and it's changed everywhere... I don't like changing triggers, then values then ubertips blah blah blah... that's how mistakes are easily made.

Anyway thanks for the help I'll keep toying with it to see if I can get it to work...

Would not matter in that case anyway since tooltips cannot be changed in-game at this point in time.

Besides, triggers can't access that sort of stuff.
