Creating DOTA style skills?

[ForsakenSoul]

Alright, I am helping a friend with a map he has in mind a kind of RPG style map. In the early stages of developement, and we were wondering how you make the DOTA type custom skills? The closest I have come to editting hero skills is in the object editor and selecting a hero or unit, and then clicking on skills at the type of the info and editting one of those. Is there any other option or menu that lets me go more in depth?

Thank you.

Oh and if anyone knows how to make a map bigger once you have started that would be useful too. THanks.

You need triggers to make custom spells.
Once you started a map, in order to change its size go to Scenario ---> Map Size and area bounds and modify the size.

Well...Uh a lot of the spells in Dota require " JASS ". JASS takes triggers to the next level and beyond, although it is complicated. You can still make good spells through triggers.

Actually, nope; non of the spells used in dota require JASS.
