Need help with summoned units and others

[khll1993]

Hi guys. I have a simple problem with summoned units.
When you summon units that will disappear after a certain period of time (like for example, the summonquilbeast skill), there's a bar below the summoned unit's name - the purple/maroon colored bar that empties when the time runs out. The name written on that bar is "Quilbeast" (for summon quilbeast skill). What if, however, I use the base skill of summon quilbeast, but I change the summoned unit to a centaur instead of quilbeasts. When I summon the centaur using that custom skill, the maroon bar below the summoned unit's name still reads: "Quilbeast". How do I change that?
Thanks for helping!
I'm sorry if I posted a repeated thread or a noob thread or anything. I'm new to this forum and I couldn't find help on this issue. Thanks!

Oh yeah, and if anybody knows how tiny's ultimate skill works, it would really be helpful too. Thanks!

Maybe you didn't change the name of unit or spell
And what about tiny's spell : I don't know about him but i know that it is made of Engineering Upgrade

 

[khll1993]

I did change both the unit's name and the spell's name. But it doesn't change what's written on the bar.
About tiny's skill. I just wanted to know how to put upgrades on him. Can you change an upgrade into a skill?

 

[Sonic]

I have no ideas I dont know how tiny spell works

You have to check what buffs are being used by the summon spell. Probably, it will say "Summon Quillbeast" as a buff (in the ability editor). Then you have to enter the buff editor and find the Summon Quillbeast buff. Either change the "Tooltip" part to "Summon Centaur" or whatever you want, or copy it and then change, but then you have to enter the ability editor once more to change what buff is used by the ability.

Personally I always use a standardized "Summoned Unit" buff that is the same for all my summons. The style points lost are so extremely minor that they're worth the saved time.

uhm, sorry for asking, but how do I go to the buff editor?

 

[FhelZone]

Yes, then after that you need to change the buff in the ability editor. That wasy the bars name would change, applies on matermorphosis and other skills with time bars.

 

[khll1993]

I don't know where I can find the buff editor

 

[khll1993]

I can't find the buff editor. Is my world editor an older version? Is there a newer version that has a buff editor??

 

[Sonic]

Do you have an ability editor ? left to ability click on buff

You need to go to Object Editor (press F6 in editor). I think it should be in all versions of editor. But if it isn't you should install expansion and a patch.

I'll show you image of my WordlEdit (It's in Polish but I've marked the fields you need to change). I did it on Water Elemental. You just need to find buff used by skill you want to use. You can also create a new buff...

Uh, yeah, it's based on Endurance Aura (the reduced attack speed + the aura effect on the Status bar). Whenever he learns a skill, an upgrade is researched, thus increasing damage at the cost of attack speed.

 

[khll1993]

aw darn, my world editor doesn't have buff editor. next to ability editor is only upgrade editor thanks anyway. do you know where i can get an update for world editor?

 

[khll1993]

Uh, yeah, it's based on Endurance Aura (the reduced attack speed + the aura effect on the Status bar). Whenever he learns a skill, an upgrade is researched, thus increasing damage at the cost of attack speed.

Oh thanks. But do you know how tiny learns an upgrade every time he levels up the skill? i can make a trigger that makes a hero research an upgrade when he learns a skill, but does the hero level up the upgrade whenever the hero levels up the skill?

• Trigger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Learns a skill
  • Conditions
    • (Learned Hero Skill) Equal to Growth!
  • Actions
    • Player - Set the current research level of Damage Upgrade to ((Current research level of Damage Upgrade for (Owner of (Learning Hero))) + 1) for (Owner of (Learning Hero))

Growth! - Endurance Aura with negative values for the reduced attack speed.
Damage Upgrade - any damage upgrade will do, as long as you let the unit, that has Growth!, use it (Upgrades Used).

[Mateusz Wara]

What version of the game do you have?
Warcraft 3 or Warcraft 3 + Frozen Throne? Is it original or downloaded from web?
Eng or other?
/you can skip this by simply looking for patch in google.../

I have warcraft 3 frozen throne, but i think it's a really old version of frozen throne, it says "1.07" at the lower right corner of the screen. It's not original, but it's not downloaded from the web either. I've tried downloading updates from the web b4, but since it isn't an original version, updates won't work on it. Maybe there are updates for world editor only? Or you have to update frozen throne too, to update world editor?
