Adding spell to unit

08-04-2006, 04:57 PM

I know how to add an ability to a unit, the title may be a little misleading but couldnt find a better one =P.
I want to add a new ability to a hero. The hero should have more buttons(like the ability button) that they can click on and in it should be the new abilities that has been added.´

1 more thing. Is there a way to make only 1 trigger that will create a floating text above a casting unit that says the name of the spell being casted or do I have to make a new one for every spell??

All help appreaciated.

Use Spellbooks for a effect like the normal red cross where it has more abilities.
And yes you can create a floating text which reads the ability being cast, like this:
It uses a small portion of Jass though, to get the spell name

Trigger:

Show Text

Events

Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability

Conditions

Actions

Custom script: set udg_TempString = GetObjectName(GetSpellAbilityId())

Set TempPoint = (Position of (Casting unit))

Floating Text - Create floating text that reads TempString at TempPoint with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency

Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence

Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 6.00 seconds

Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 2.00 seconds

Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

StockBreak	Well, what about adding that ability to the hero from the beginning in the WE but disabling (Player-Enable/Disable Ability) it until needed? I hope it helps.
