Patrol Ability

[emjlr3]

Is there anyway to remove only the Patrol ability?

[ljass]'Amov'[/ljass] removes Move, Patrol, Stop and Hold Position

to that end, where can you edit the abilities tooltip, etc.?

I don't know of any way to remove just Patrol, but you can change the tooltip for things like it, move, and attack near the bottom of Gameplay Interface if you enable UMSWE in NewGen.

to remove it you'll need to change the UI files for your map...

There's a tutorial overhere in some years ago, that explain how

I will have to look into that - any ideas where this tut is?

lol that is more trouble then it is worth

think I will use a disabled icon and edit the UI description of the ability, and simply intercept patrol orders and cancel them with an error message.

and why doesn't Patrol have its own ability id?

Just move or modify patrol to your liking.

I haven't taken a good look at the link in Post #5, though I'm assuming it's a similar process.

No idea. I agree it should, though it's a problem only Blizzard can fix.

they wanted you to remap every order icon, update there UIs and then intercept the "correct" order and re-correct it to the one you wanted, while differentiating between the two - all to save 1 icon location

on top of that, you then needed to create and employ a custom ability learn system
