Edit Abilities damage

Post by Griffitth »

Where can i edit abilities effects such as dmg, status, etc? i've opened war3map.w3a file on world editor but could only find mana cost, range, name, description, animation etc, not the actual dmg formula.. any ideas?

It depends on the skill, for the most part it should in the .w3a, for heros skills its listed under Level 1 - Level 3. Example of storm bolt is Level 1 - Data - Damage, simply changing that number will increase the damage.

If your not seeing anything like that, or its at 0..what your probably seeing is an example of a triggered skill. The skill itself is just a shell to actually have the player able to cast it. All the damage, art, and everything else is done in triggers. What you need to do is view the abilities as raw data. This can be done by pressing View - Display Values as Raw Data, or by pressing Ctrl + D. It will now show the ability name with 4 letters or so before it. Now search the trigger file for those letters, and it should take you to the trigger its used in. You will have to edit the jass to change the data.
