Item abilities made hero/Unit abilities have no icons

[Estel3]

For the map I'm making, I use some item abilities as hero ones (such as spell damage reduction). However on my unit I can't see the spells.

For passive skills I could just make a skill that doesn't do anything and give it to the unit to make it appear it has the skill but what if I do activated abilities?

Thanks.

Because they are item abilities most of them have no icons(there is no need either) you can use dummy abilites and triggero sow their icons.First make a dummy ability based on critical strike(bash is ok too) but make all values of critical strike "0".
Then give that dummy ability and your item ability to hero.


Your trigger:
Events:
Hero learns an ability
Conditions:
Ability being learned equal to critical strike:
Actions:
Set Youritemability level for triggering unit to level of critical strike


Critical strike has no effect as it refers to your item abity type all your tooltips on critical strike because no one will see your item ability

Yeah I figured that was what it was, thanks.

Did you uncheck "Item Ability" and check "Hero Ability" in the Object Editor? Did you give it an icon?

 

[Estel3]

Yes, of course I did all that. I'm not THAT stupid...

Use Channel as a Dummy Spell and trigger the other spell.
