Displaying a Buff

[ZeroThirteen]

I have an ability that I finally got working - when cast, it adds armor. I put the armor bonus in a hidden ability and gave it a buff. The armor bonus works fine, but the buff won't display - with the ability set to its original "Item" classification or not. Is there any way to add the buff trough triggers, or fix this problem?

I don't think you can show buffs for spells based off item abilities. Squishy might say give your hero a disabled spellbook with a passive ability that does nothing but give you a buff. He likes disabled spellbooks like that....

Tornado (Slow Aura) with 0% slow, 1 range and Targets - Self. Then just modify the buff to your needs. The ability itself has no icon which makes it ideal for buff application

What's wrong with a disabled spellbook? It works, doesn't it?

You just want to add armor to a unit for a certain duration? Why don't use Inner Fire instead? No triggering required.

Ya Inner Fire works better than tornado dummy auras cuz they respond to purge as well.

Sorry that I forgot to mention this, but it needs to target a corpse. What good would a corpse do with armor?

I don't have a Tornado (Slow Aura). I have Spin and Wander, but that's it.

You could use your original ability that targets a corpse and adds the armor, and then add a disabled spellbook with a passive ability that gives you a buff.

If there's a tutorial on making spellbooks and disabling them (I couldn't find one), please link it for me... I haven't a clue.

Heres one http://world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net/cat_usersubmit.php?view=34530

But all you need to do is make a spellbook, add a modified aura, and use the action Player-Disable Ability.

> What good would a corpse do with armor?

Really... Why would you want to give armor to corpse anyway?

Thanks. I got it working, but I can't seem to get the green box and tooltip from the spellbook go away (I did disable it at map initialization). What exactly is going wrong?

 

[Squishy]

Are you sure your disabling the spellbook for the right player? Are you sure your disabling the right spellbook? Are you sure your disabling and not disabling?

Try the ability "Slow Aura (Tornado)". It shows a buff but not an icon.

 

[ZeroThirteen]

Alright. This spellbook thing is getting confusing, anyways.

EDIT: Success! Thanks for the help!
