It's Intresting, Maybe you should change 2 things, The icon, Used for Mirror image, which also uses the mirror image guy like your pic, as well as only used by blademaster.. Kinda not original there, and maybe making it do more effects, maybe slow, and and like headache lol?

Like slow the target, The effect making the target actually having some trouble with continuing the fight, like if someone would use this in a Footman Wars, they would want to not only to do damage with this and trick them, but maybe allowing you to escape? Also, in the Ability since it is one ability write what it actually does..

Code: 
        Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
Bugged event, use Unit - A unit starts the effects of an ability instead.

*Edit*
-No Jass or GUI (just 1 normal trigger )
Click to expand...
GUI stands for graphical user interface, and the term covers the entire world editor, however GUI is better known as regular triggers. To sum it up, your spell is GUI.

>Also, in the Ability since it is one ability write what it actually does..

If that was meant for me, then yes you did misunderstand me. The event your using is bugged, you shouldn't use it no matter what. That event registers when a unit starts to cast to the ability, however a player could easily move the unit at the right time to cancel the spell, reserving cooldown and manacost, but the trigger still executes. Use Unit - A unit starts the effects of an ability instead.

Oh well if it was for me, and not my movie buddy jones, then what I mean is that, lets say its a hero, he should have a penalty that lasts, not only a damage and stun penalty, and for the What the Ability does, no I meant in the tutorial, you should write like, this ability stuns the opponent caus.. etc...

ok.. well umm you need to type a custom path called
ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\Yourfilename.blp
and then restart the editor, start it and change the icon.

.tga files can be used as icons. No need to convert to .blp. That is, if you use the Object Editor to apply the icon. Changing the path? Well, good luck with that.

well i did change the path to:
ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNShadowAttack.tga and yes that is the correct name of the file
and then i changed it in the object editor (you know the imported line) but still nothing has changed.. it's not working actually its worse, whenever you should see the icon ingame the game crashes

Ghan, I seriously dont think that .tga files work, you can check in any map, I have not once seen a .tga file, and .blp is blizzard layour something, so i think blp is required.. =(

I've used a .tga file in a map without incident. Is that map on the first post the most recent? I'll take a look....

Edit: Hmm? I don't see an imported image file. Where is it?

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
