You can't do this for most abilities though. For the Channel and Spellbook abilities you can change the "Base Order ID" field, so you can have several versions of the ability on the same hero. This will always happen if you have two custom abilities with the same base ability on the same hero. This happens when you have two abilities with the same base order ID.

You cannot change the basic logic of the spell through the spell editor. You can change targets, graphics, sound, damage, unit ids, range, levels, and other similar values. Go to "Module->Object Editor" and click on the tab for the type you want to edit. How do I edit abilities, buffs, or effects? Buffs can alter a unit's statistics (like Bloodlust), do damage (like Starfall), or prevent a unit from being affected by an ability twice (like the "being healed" buff from statues). Buffs are attached to units and effects are not. Items can have abilities, but they don't do anything until a hero picks them up, and then they give their abilities to the hero.īuffs and effects appear in game as the result of abilities. Abilities modify the capabilities of a unit.
