Tooltips from a trigger?

Any idea how i can do this?


I have a spell that the tooltip is "Slams the ground, turning all units in Level + Str + 150 units into living projectiles that will fly away from the caster. For a moment they will be in the air, and after that they will fall down, and take Str x Level / 10 damage."

and I would much rather not have to make people calculate the damage and range

ha you wish..
Sorry there is no way to make tooltips with triggers.

The alternative to this is to make dmg/or any other spell data
appear as floating text when you cast a spell.

Humm might add a "Calculate" ability then... i don't like floating text damage (and for the range it doesn't work at all)

unless anyone knows of a better way...

EDIT

Looks like it MIGHT be possible to do it via a ability changer/lvl changer trigger and use a cross reference system... seems a bit too much work tho...

Display the dmg above the attacked unit not the attacker.
Also use special color, don't use red because it is for critical
and don't use yellow because it is for gold.
