Create Ability Effect - Instant
Create Ability Arm magazine
Made button for Effect - Instant
Created Use Calldown Effect
Linked both Effect Instant & Arm Magazine to it Use Calldown.
On Arm Magazine i changed the "Count Start" on Ammo 1 to 1 so you would be able to start out with a charge and also set a unit to spawn with with ammo.
But yet it doesn't show up as having 1 on the ability but rather 0.
I followed the path the "Nuke" ability uses to get this far. And i actually got it to work once but Galaxy Editor crashed on me and i was forced to do it again but i can't get it to work this time. It always shows 0 charges every time no matter what i did. I'm pretty sure i linked everything correctly. Anyone got an ideas or suggestions?
Try right-clicking and duplicating an ability instead of copy-pasting it.
Make sure you link your abilities properly as well :) You need an unit, a button, an ability, and some effects for the ability.
Unfortunately, I have done this and it still doesn't work. I click Duplicate & select everything in the check boxes but it still doesn't have an effect on any units if i target someone (It's a target spell).
As for linking, I'm not sure.. Maybe there's something extra i gotta do? I've linked the abilitiy to a unit and used the right ability (the copied one) and it doesn't work.
EDIT: Also, When i duplicate the Ability from the Ability tab by (Duplicate). Everything else is fine but when i look in the effects menu i see this..
How do you go about copying an abilitiy useing the data editor? I can't seem to do it. Everytime i do so there's no effect or anything on the copied abilitiy if i try it out. It doesn't effect anything as to where the orignal works perfectly fine. How do i copy it correctly?
Also, Is there a way to copy over an ability to another map? I'm working on a map with a friend and we have to trade off on who works on it. I wanna be able to copy the abilities i make over to his map without having to trade off files so much.
EDIT: Sorry if this is the wrong section. I just noticed there was another one but i didn't think it was for that data editor.

But when i do that, Any changes i make the the old ability effect the duplicated one... Hence killed the idea of "Copying" it..
Also, How do i link something to another? I'm not certain about this.
My goal is to copy the ability and modify it further to make up a different effect (Slow,damage,visual effects) ect out of it.
