Damage Integer view in Object Editor?

I have a question for anyone who can answer (hopefully we come to a solution!). I'm currently creating a League of Legends Summoners Rift map on the Warcraft World Editor. The Heroes and Abilities are COMPLETELY different however. I was creating a few abilities and I am using triggers to deal the damage. In the Object Editor under the Abilities Tab (at the very bottom of the Ability selected) there is a "Text: Tooltip extended" where it gives the description of the ability and the damage done. My question is this: Is there ANY WAY possible to put into the description the exact values that are in the triggers used to deal the damage? (For example: The ability Parasite would deal a base amount (250) plus 3% - 5% (+120% INT (Including bonuses)) of the targets max health (depending on rank of Parasite) every second for 5 seconds). I want the actual integer values able to be viewed when you hover your mouse over the ability (like it would if you used the data given in the ability). I can attach screenshots if needed. Thank you all in advance and hopefully We can resolve this!

This is not possible.
To the best of my knowledge these tooltips are immutable during the game. Furthermore there is no build-in functionality of referencing trigger variables. Of course you could use some kind of external tool to generate the tooltips and the triggers but it would seem like more trouble than its worth.

Thank you so much, I honestly didn't think it was possible, but I wanted another opinion.

Since the producer update there is a way to change Ability tooltips with variables, however this affects any unit using the ability.

It's under UNIT - change tooltip extended to <entered string>

I will Try this out later this evening! Thank you! I've been looking for a way to do this for a while now. I have 30 "Champions" in the selection so far using models from Warcraft III, their own special effects, voice-overs, particle effects, abilities with their own unique damage intervals using trigger functions. the only thing left to do is try this out to make the hud a little more user friendly so the player can view the correct damage output of their ability.

    It would suck to spend 400$ on a system that doesn't have the capability you need
  • jonas jonas:
    and it will probably take a couple of tries to get the settings right
  • Varine Varine:
    It would but I can also just make sure I can return them. The system I have works, it's pretty straightforward and I tested it with a camera I have. All it really is is a little cartridge that holds the transparency film and a white light source behind it that projects the image into the lens
  • Varine Varine:
    I'll have to fuck with the light a bit and try some different lighting methods to get color accuracy, but I have IT8 targets for that

  • The Helper The Helper:
    get that color accuracy :)
  • Varine Varine:
    They're really helpful for calibrating things because I'm really colorblind, so I'm not great at doing it by eye

    Well the long, slow slog of winter has officially begun here
  • Varine Varine:
    I have a bunch of community service I have to do, and I have a feeling there will be a lot of snow shoveling involved now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    don't know why people choose to live in that kind of weather :)
  • Varine Varine:
    Well
  • Varine Varine:
    My job is here
  • Varine Varine:
    I was born here man I didn't choose shit
  • Varine Varine:
    And also, I keep moving away and it doesn't get any better. I moved to San Antonio and shit froze there AND we had blackouts
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I'm back, suffering from severe jet lag.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Cold is following your ass around Varine - I just dont think I could handle a snowy winter.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Welcome Back Tom!
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I hear that taking a Melatonin around your normal bedtime can really fix jet lag
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Yeah, I also heard about that as well. I think I'm good. I'm just lucky it's the weekend so I have some time to readjust.

    It was a fucking blizzard today, shoveling was an effort in futility.
  • Varine Varine:
    Melatonin gives me nightmares
  • Varine Varine:
    They had me shoveling out the parking lot for the jail. Fucking pointless, they need a blow.
  • Varine Varine:
    Well they gave me a snow blower but it was too wet to do much with with other than compact everything. Oh well, the cop cars can get into there now when they arrest people I guess
