How to make "unit spell" appear as icon in units spell inventory ?

[Progesterone]

Hi all,
how do I make a "unit spell(eg. AOE damage(Goblin Mine)" appear as an icon in units spell inventory(ie, just like any other spell that is at the bottom right corner of all units, where u click to cast spell) ? is it by editing the "Art" portion of the spell ? Can someone please teach me how exactly ? thanks so much !!

If what i think you are saying is that you want to change the icon of an ability,
then you just have to go to the ability in the object editor and change the fields

Art - Icon - Normal

and if its a hero ability change

Art - Icon - Research to the same thing.

Hope this is what you are looking for.

i suporse that you meen how to make an ability apear on the spell list - like an normal ability like "Devotion Aura" - if it is that you want, then you need to chose an position for the spell - "Art - Button Position"

What I think you mean (geez, people are thinking different things here) is that you want the non-spell abilities (like aoe damage, invunerability, and permanent immolation) appear with an icon instead of no icon at all.

Well, you cant do that. What you can do is just create a custom passive spell that does totaly nothing and give it the name and tooltip you want.

For an example:
Goblin landmine has aoe damage ability.

-You base an ability of incinerate.
-You make it an unit ability, set everything it does to 0, and remove all its buffs/effects etc
-You change its name to "aoe damage" and its tooltip to whatever you want.
-You give the ability to goblin landmine.

Except one thing,

Incinerate does something.
It removes the corpse of units killed by the unit (because it is 'incinerated')

EDIT:
Well, unless that unit doesn't have an attack.
