I want to update links / delete old ones. Anyway I can do that. I found out that if you change the name of an ability, the link name doesn't change. Btw this is the link thats used for charges and cooldowns.
Also, they give us the option to manually add links that aren't connected to abilities. Is there any menu for editing / removing links?
After reading the tool tips I noticed that ability links were generated by the ID. The reason why I was confused is because if you change the ID, it normally updates the link unless the link is used inside an array of costs for an ability. What the starcraft 2 editor seems to do is keeps all the ability links that are being used and if a link is not used, it seems to be erased by the time the map is reloaded.
The Starcraft 2 editor also allows you to create links that aren't connected with an ability.
If you add a bunch of links but don't use them, the editor will erase them by the time you reload.
This can be confusing when a link for an actual ability is not being used. To reuse it, you can either select the ability that normally uses it and reset it to default. Or you can add the ability link as if you were creating a new one (I think this should work, I didn't actually test it).
I may submit something like this to tutorials because I couldn't find any good information about them.
