Phoenix fire icone problemm

[Gev]

Here is a problem that i cant solv working on it more then a houer.
I have changed the phoenix fire (random attacking pasive aura) for hero use. And the problem is that there is no icone of that skill. Allso there is some other skills like magic resistance that whas item ability and i have changed it for hero use and that skill allso dosnt have icone. No matter what i do in skill statistics, the icone ceeps being invisible.
What to do?

 

[jig7c]

there should be a field for icon... Research, Normal, and i think Turnon/Turnoff...

make sure something is in those fields...

 

[HydraRancher]

Give it an icon? It needs all types, including Research.

 

[Gev]

all that icones are set the same Cluster rockets. Normal, research and turn off.

 

[HydraRancher]

Well Channel is the only ability that can be made to appear invisible on the UI using settings, so the only other explanation I can think of is the hero hasn't got the ability. Care to upload?

 

[jig7c]

does the ability even work on the hero?
try changing it to a different model..

 

[Gev]

Yes it is. I got the pasive invisible, claivouiance and many other skills that work veary fine but the icone is missing. May be the icones soudnt be same?

 

[HydraRancher]

How many abillities? Try changing the icons to see what happens.

 

[Gev]

no that not helping. Here the skills. The phoenix fire, Neutral pasive Invisability, Clairboynce (trousight), and many other pasive item abilitys. I think that there is some string that im missing. Im not a pro on this )

Ahem. Curo to the rescue.

Item abilities and Phoenix Fire, along with some others, NEVER show icons. You will need to create a dummy ability (based off 0% evasion or something) that adds an icon to your hero when the Phoenix Fire/Item ability is learned for the first time.

Then you need to level up the icon-dummy ability when you level up the real ability. All via triggers of course.

Also just to note, you can't level up item abilities, so you will have to make the actual functionality of the item ability through a dummy ability is well. So my suggestion here is that you make the actual hero ability the 0% Evasion or whatever, to show an icon. Then use triggers to add the functional ability.

Either way works, but remember that you can't level up item abilities, as well as some others. Go to this page and scroll down to the bottom (99. List of Unlevelable Abilities).

 

[Weep]

Curo is correct.

 

[HydraRancher]

It can't have been absolutely every ability he was using. He should've specified exactly the abilities he's using and which work.

I presumed that with so many abilities being used, that he was having trouble with abilities that should normally work.

 

[Gev]

Ok i got it thanks. Shit! Now i need to work more few howers. )))

 

[Gev]

Here is one more thing. Is there any whay to remove icone of the skill like the abilitys counted previously?

 

[HydraRancher]

If it is passive, you may place it in a disabled spellbook. If not, you have to use Channel, and trigger the actual ability.

Quick thing for you Curo, just make it a hero ability, make it whenever a unit learns a skill, skill being learnt equal to your skill, increase level of it.
