How does raw data in spells work?

[Extremedesyr]

Hey, I am trying to convert a custom unit ability to a hero ability, but I'd really like to know to use raw data in the extended tooltip. redirecting me to a tutorial would be great too, but could someone explain how to display Damage, Duration and Range in the extended learn tooltip of the ability Firebolt (neutral hostile)? thanks in advantage

The extended tooltip is only to display to the player in game what it does, it does not do any damage or whatsoever. The real datas are somewhere in the spell, like for impale, they'll be range, for how long, the damage, whereas for mana shild itll be something like mana buffer per second or soething like that. Each skills have different datas. You might want to post which skill you want.

Damage: <ACfb,DataA1>
Range: <ACfb,Rng1>
Duration (Hero): <ACfb,HeroDur1>
Duration (Normal): <ACfb,Dur1>

The raw data works like this.
First it just uses the "<" to indicate that it's going to be using raw data to display a value.
Then the first 4 letters or numbers are that ID of the spell that has the data you want, in this case Firebolt's ID is ACfb.
Then a "," to seperate the values.
Then it comes to which value in the firebolt ability you want to display, in this case the damage(DataA1) range(Rng1) and duration(HeroDur1/Dur1)

Oh that's what he meant.... my bad.

I rarely use raw data in tooltips. I simply change the data by hand. (For example: typing 15% instead of <rawdata, whatever>.)
However, it's quite simple. It takes an ability and a value, and returns an integer. I don't have WE with me so I can't give any good examples, but I'm sure you can work it out just by looking at it.
