Change tooltip fields with triggers?

[Grurf]

Is it possible to change a certain unit/item/ability's object editor tooltip fields with trigger/jass/anything? I would like to create abilities with a tooltip that display a calculation of the total damage done at that level and how much xp the ability has earned so far (for the spellsystem of my map). Or would it be possible to set your tooltip to a variable and let the variables handle what's inside it?

Im fairly certain this is impossible. Either display the equation the user can use to calculate themselves, or make an ability with many levels so you can change the level as you gain experience.

It is completelly impossible

Alternatives:

- Place a trigger that will tell the user the current potential damage when they type in a chat line (ie. -spelldamage)

- If you're not using the wood or food fields, make these fields reflect the current damage of the spell (if it's a single unique spell). Place info in the tooltip that the wood indicator is for "spell power" and maybe change the icon to reflect something spelly.

- Floating text over the character when he casts the spell to reflect the amount of damage done (a la critical hit)

Or you can use a leaderboard... but would be very strange

make an ability based of channel that wouldnt do anything, but be with your hero. So when you click it a trigger activates and gives you xp

Thanks for the clear answer Vexorian, although I don't like it I'd like to change the spell description...

You could make the unit switch with anouther unit when he levels up or whatever is happening when you want to change it, with the description you want
