Orb effect

I need one orb effect ability,
to be precise I want to put something else instead of armor reduction as a buff on an orb.

Any buff ideas?

to be honest i need same thing in fact i want % to make aoe dmg... i guess that solving your problem would solve mine to :)

I don't think so.

Anyways I found out that stupid orb of lightning displays icon when you add it as a unit ability, uberlame.

Then add it in a disabled spellbook or something?

I did and guess what, it did not help, it is still there.

This may sound very dumb, but have you tried putting it in a spell book within a spell book, and then putting the dummy ability in one of them or something?

No the point is that orb of lightning uses a built in blizzard OnAttack system,
that icon that is showing turns out to be from the orb ability that is automatically added to the unit for detecting attacks,
so there is no way to remove it.

I just wonder why idiots in blizzard did not think of making that icon invisible.

The answer to your last statement would be similar to that of Spellshield Amulet - because it was designed for an item and not a normal/hero ability.

Black.blp would save the icon problem :)

Not really, people who randomly hover their mouse over things will eventually hover over it and then they'd be like "hm omfg wtf iz this?!"

Add to that the fact the the orb on-attack abilities don't really work quite right (for example, they'll generally only fire if the unit attacks because it was ordered to, not because it acquired a nearby target), and using Orb as a vehicle to carry a spell effect just seems downright messy as a final solution. You may wish to take the problem to triggers.

ah i misunderstood what u need, gl anyway
