no icons

[Grundy]

is there a way to make an ability, like critical strike, NOT have an icon? i've seen someone else say "use item abilities they have no icons" but thats not true. is there a way to do it? please no speculation or assumption answers. im trying to make an ability that has 3 different effects and the only way i can do it is by giving the unit 3 different passive abilities when they use the spell but i dont want 3 more ability icons showing.

on the ability interface go to the icon field and go to the top where it should say NONE.

Setting the icon to "none" will produce the famous Green Square of Missing Icons.

Unfortunately, what follows falls into "no speculation or assumption",

Add your passive abilities to a Spell Book, give that book to the Hero,
then disable it.

well at least you put some thought into unlike jindo

but you think a passive ability in a disabled spell book will work? wouldnt that just disable the ability and show a darkened icon?

how many other abilities does the guy have? because you could always just have 3 diff abilities. I know in DotA they have Nevermore or something with 3 icons for one ability and they still had room.

This is easy.

Use an item ability. They don't have icons. You'll see the ones with a '?' in the editor for an icon.

Change 'Item Ability' to false, and add that to the unit.

the only item abilities with ? are mana bonus, stat bonus, freezing attack bonus, life bonus, armor bonus, and glyph of fortification. i need critical strike and that does have an icon

try removing it? Item abilities usually let you remove their icons.

if you remove it it gives you a green square icon
