I am for the first time trying to create an ability from scratch, no copying whatsoever. I am making an Behavior ability that grants you a Behavior buffs granting the players a few different stats. The ability in it self works just as expected, however!, whenever I use the ability in game, it also disappears from the command card. Can't seem to make sense of it.
Hopefully someone has experienced this.
Thank you in advance.
If you are using it on a non custom unit there is a high chance there is a default command card icon overriding your custom one. I had that with my one demo map where a patch added an icon to the carrier and that hid the button for my demo ability.
Else you have a requirement that hides it on use depending on how you have phrased your question.
Alright, so I did a check up. The problem is not that a default command card icon is overriding my custome one.
Now about the requirement. Where would I check that. Because the ability I have created is from scratch, and I never applied any kind of requirement, so unless it's a default option, I do not think that is the problem either.
I thank you for your answer. Learned something from it. :)
I done as you told me with no luck, I however figured it out myself. The ability was an Behavior Ability, so it had two commands: Turn on and Turn off. I only gave Turn on an icon, which is why it disappeared. I know changed the ability to be an Effect - Instant instead and it now works perfectly.

ModeratorsCheck the requirements field and button state (must not be supressed) of your ability if it has any. Second
Under the Requirements data type.

ModeratorsIn short you did not add the button to the command card in the first place.
