i can’t create items with custom stats
i can’t fully customize a spell
i can’t edit the UI
please tell me i’m blind or it’s just because of beta test…
i’m very disappointed right now
1.) Actors is a shizno concept
2.) Download Retera Model Studio Reforged Hack to make models
3.) The special effect system is the legacy one plus the ability to reassign its location and orientation, so you can do that
4.) You can create banks by calling preloader scripts that modify ability tooltips. The preloader generator will make a file on the user machine, but you tell it to preload a string hack that will cause it to call functions on the user computer in a future game when you attempt to load the generated preload file. This is how CanFight’s minecraft simulator can bring a minecraft world from one gameplay session to another, for example. There is a new api to sync the information after it is loaded.
5.) All versions of Warcraft III include the option to make items with custom stats in the Items tab of the Object Editor, or the Unit Editor in the 2002 edition
6.) Each spell inherits a hardcoded behavior from its SLK “code” column that defines what it will do. These behaviors are not modifiable, but they never have been
7.) You can edit the UI using the FDF function calls, which were not made available in the trigger editor unless you are writing a script file. The reason these are not available without scripting it is that it was believed the average user is too stupid and would create desyncs in their map with it.
