Problem with Interface - Ability

[Oksel]

Timed life bar how to change text?

I created a custom ability Summon Werewolf based on the Summon Water Elemental and now the only problem is that in the interface (timed life bar) it stays Water Elemental. How to change this? Please help!

How to find the buff this ability uses?

 

[Master_Saji]

I believe if you change the name of the buff

Or something else...maybe you should go through all the names with "Water Elemental" and replace it with "Golem"

 

[the Lumpy]

Where does it say that? On the tooltip?

 

[Master_Saji]

I think he means like, where Timed life is...I dunno...

Yes, the name water elemental is in the 'timed life bar'.

I believe its the buff of the ability. Finding the buff your ability is using and changing its name to <mud golem> or whatever will fix it.

 

[Oksel]

Yes the 'timed life bar'

Yes, the name water elemental is in the 'timed life bar'.

Thanks I'll try to find the buff but I am not sure I know how.

This abil already exists...

Base it of "Rock Golem summon". It is under item abilities.

How to find a buff?

Thanks it can be done like that. "Base it of "Rock Golem summon" but what if I want to create a new ability Summon Werewolf that one doesn't exist, so my question now is how to find a buff that one ability uses?

You open the object editor.

The tab next to the abilities is the buff/effect menu.

It has exactly the same layout as the ability menu, only it stores the values for the buffs and effects that each ability uses.

Simply find the buff that the ability you created uses. Copy and paste, then change its name.

So, to find say 'water elemental'.

You will see the grouping of the buffs.
>Human
>Orc
>Undead
>Nightelf
>Special

As it is a human spell, open human folder.
Then open the Buffs folder.
And there is the water elemental buff.
Copy, paste and change the name to what you want.
This can be done again and again for however many summons abilities you have.
