If I add a custom ability through the addability function, is it possible to bind a hotkey to it so that it can be reassigned in the Dota settings

for first 6 abilities yes, for more you need custom keybind setup like it work in chc

Do you mean custom hero chaos?

yes

i think you can find example in clash or custom hero arena

in any case, could you explain how to assign hotkeys if the hero has 6 abilities?

How to do it?
Download the custom game from the workshop, find the workshop id in... i dont remember where exactly, something like steam/common/workshop/<dota id>/<workshop id>
And open the vpk file with vrf

But how to rebind them in the dota settings?
calm rock
You cant.
You could have your own in-game settings menu where they could rebind, or you could override an uncommonly used existing keybind.

If you bind abilities via keybinds, how can you make a letter above the ability icon with the bound key?
calm rock
With panorama.
Panorama is everything ui related
Just look at the panorama tutorials on moddota

@carmine crystal do you still have the custom keybind panorama code you made for ReVolt?
scenic drum
Just look at the panorama tutorials on moddota
In those 2 videos on moddota shows how to make a quest bar that is not tied to any element of the interface. And I do not know how to tie this letter to the icon of a skill, so that when you change the location of the ability, the letter moves after it
and in the other sections of the site I also don’t see anything similar to what I need

there are files with the bin extension, I looked at a couple of guides on google how to open them, but they don't work for me 😔

I can't paste it here, sry my discord is blocked?? I'm currently confused
"sonic emy discord is blocked" what does it mean?

ok, so here we go, that was what we had in our game. IT worked most of the time 😅

They teach you the basics, and with that knowledge you should know how to create simple panels and how the parent heirarchy works.
There are other guides there as well, not just the quest one.

It's too complicated for me, I'm just starting to learn javascript and there's typescript. Is there any way to just create a .ts file, copy the code there and plug it into panorama to see if it works at all?
stone jolt
Is there any way to just create a .ts file
No.

The typescript part is irrelevant. You can just remove the types and you get JS.

> It's too complicated for me,...
I don't know what "types" are.
Okay, I'll just try to convert the ts code to js using online services 😅
stone jolt
I just took the entire code, opened VSCode, and pasted it into a .js (javascript) file.
The errors make it clear which parts are types and can be safely removed.
I'll do it for you just this once - but really, it is not complicated to remove the TS part of a JS code.
Enjoy
stone jolt
No worries. But next time you're the one to handle it. No need to be scared of TS. Adding types may be tough - removing them is very easy.

@carmine crystal I think you left out the consts of KeybindCommand. Probably in the consts file we had. Do you still have it?
Actually maybe I have reference to our project somewhere......

yeah valve just didnt give much information about that stuff. thats all generated from a console command in-game.
and no one has manually made detailed descriptions for the panorama api.

Change all your instances of, for instance KeybindCommand.KEYBIND_NONE to DOTAKeybindCommand_t.DOTA_KEYBIND_NONE

Ok!

It's just Typescript comes with better enums because Valve's enum are dumb
scenic drum
The next batch of errors
calm rock
instead of blindly copy pasting code you dont understand it would probably be better to write something yourself, and just use that code as an example to help guide you.
stone jolt
One hundred percent agree. We might clear out all of your bugs, but you still have code that you don't understand and just blindly hope that it works. God forbid Valve does a breaking change (like they love doing every patch) and the code no longer works.
scenic drum
Okay, I'm gonna try
calm rock
but to make it clearer what that error says..
the first one is saying that command is undefined in Game.GetKeybindForCommand(command)
and the second one is trying to use a function that doesnt exist (ConvertHumanFriendlyToActual)
presumably that was in a separate util file or part of the ts template or something that wasnt included in the copied code

Is there no way to bind keys to abilities that I added via AddAbility in a simpler way? These are the keys that are always free on heroes with 4 skills by default
calm rock
keys are automatically assigned to ability slots 1-6 (q,w,e,d,f,r) in that order
by default heroes without abilities in D and F will have a hidden placeholder ability in the slot
so you can remove the placeholder ability and add your ability.
or keep both, and just swap their positions

Okay, I'll try that, lua I know at least a little bit.
calm rock
its worth noting that ability index might start at 0 instead of 1. i cant remember for sure.
so 0-5 instead of 1-6
