Change tooltip via trigger

[Ashcat]

Just wondering if its possible at all to change the tooltip of an ability or unit mid-game with a trigger?

Not without changing the skill itself to another with the tooltip premade.

Make 2 identic spells.

Save 1 with the default tooltip and the other with the new tooltip.

Then replace the unit spell by trigger.

Well what I was actually thinking of doing was creating a damaging spell that causes damage based on strength. And instead of having the tooltip say "Causes X damage + [Str*0.5]" I was going to try to find a way to just have the product there in the tooltip, so I guess that wont work.

Not unless you created a level for every strength the hero can get then set the level of the spell to the amount of strength he has .

Oh, maybe... quite a bit of work for such a small thing. Thankies ^.^

You'd have to run a periodic trigger to check the heroes strength and then set the abilities level accordingly.

I'd say a 0.5 second periodic event at the least.

Yes it is indeed a good piece of work.
