vJass / grimoire stuff

[Grundy]

Is there any kind of function, macro, or utility that lets you specify constants from units, items, doodads, abilities, buffs, or upgrades in triggers the same way you can use that stuff in tooltips?

It seems like it could be a kind of easy thing to do as a preprocessor thing.... like GetAbilityData('A000', "DataA1") and the preprocessor could just find all those function calls, and look up the values in the abilities and then replace that function call with a constant that can be used in your jass code.

Does anything like this exist?

Not possible.
With the exception of some "art" paths.

I don't really know what you mean, but I think that you're looking for a way to calculate the increment for a value which increases with levels?

Level 1 - 20 damage
Level 2 - xx damage
Level 3 - xxx damage

Then use this fancy little feature:
