talent bug or i did somehting wrong?

[manic oxide]

it appears me correctly in strategy time but in game it doesnt appear

how do i put a talent correctly like resuming

[narrow blade]

Show your talent kvs and talent tooltips

[manic oxide]

i removed it all cause i was wrong, can u tell me the correct way to do it?

pls

[narrow blade]

There are multiple ways of making custom talents. Which one are you doing? I can tell you the simplest way.

[manic oxide]

i was adding ability 10 and 11 and puttin "special_bonus"

it work gor atributtes but not for upgrades of custom abilities

[narrow blade]

kv: ```c
"special_bonus_unique_hero_name_whatever"
{
"AbilityType" "DOTA_ABILITY_TYPE_ATTRIBUTES"
"AbilityBehavior" "DOTA_ABILITY_BEHAVIOR_PASSIVE"
"BaseClass" "special_bonus_base"

}```

tooltip:```c
"DOTA_Tooltip_ability_special_bonus_unique_hero_name_whatever" "I dont know what your talent does"

Whats Bonificacion de Luz?

[manic oxide]

just like a buff of my first ability healing

[manic oxide]

yeah perfect

[narrow blade]

if you dont explain in detail, I cant help u

[manic oxide]

and how can i do the lua?

[manic oxide]

this is my Q ability

i wanted a talent to buff the healing and damage by 10%

[narrow blade]

why are you using ability values like this: local heal_percent = ({25, 50, 75, 100})[level] / 100 local damage_percent = ({5, 10, 15, 20})[level] / 100 ? This is hardcoding the values and making your life harder when you want to balance.

[manic oxide]

what do u mean by balance?

like magic resistance or that?

[manic oxide]

i just dont know other ways

im new at this

[narrow blade]

amenethil_luz kv should look like this: ```c
"AbilityValues"
{
"heal_percent"
{
"value" "25 50 75 100"
"special_bonus_unique_hero_name_whatever" "+10%"
}
"damage_percent"
{
"value" "5 10 15 20"
"special_bonus_unique_hero_name_whatever" "+10%"
}
}

[narrow blade]

and instead of this in lua it should be:

local heal_percent = self:GetSpecialValueFor("heal_percent")/100
local damage_percent = self:GetSpecialValueFor("damage_percent")/100

[manic oxide]

ohhh i understand that but there were errors because i didnt know how to use it well

now i know

thanks

[narrow blade]

when Valve makes balance changes like changing 1 number, they arent changing it in code, they are changing it only in kv

thats what I meant

[manic oxide]

ok i understand

[narrow blade]

Anyways, when you do the talent in this way (only through kv), the tooltip is done this way: ```c
"DOTA_Tooltip_ability_special_bonus_unique_hero_name_whatever" "+{s:bonus_heal_percent}% Heal/Damage Amp"

If talent has different values for heal and damage then like this: ```

"DOTA_Tooltip_ability_special_bonus_unique_hero_name_whatever" "+{s:bonus_heal_percent}/{s:bonus_damage_percent}% Heal/Damage Amp"

[manic oxide]

oh so the prefix is special_bonus

[manic oxide]

that is un npc_abilities_custom right?

[narrow blade]

tooltips are done in addon_language_name.txt

[manic oxide]

ok

[narrow blade]

Yours is Spanish or Portuguese?

[manic oxide]

spanish

addon_latam

[narrow blade]

oh, its not addon_spanish.txt?

weird

[manic oxide]

but where is the code for special bonus? i thought i needed to put a conditional if special_bonus is active

[manic oxide]

that is for spain

[narrow blade]

when you do talents this way, no need for conditionals

[manic oxide]

so literally only editing kv?

[narrow blade]

To clarify: In npc_abilities_custom you put kvs for the ability (amenethil_luz ) and for the talent (special_bonus_unique_hero_name_whatever).

[manic oxide]

if my hero name is omniknight
it is
speciañ_bonus_unique_hero_name_onmiknight?

[manic oxide]

oh ok

[narrow blade]

it just needs to be special_bonus_unique at the start

I think you cant use special characters that exist in spanish, but any name should be fine

[manic oxide]

so i "technically" put
special_bonus_unique_1

and it will work?

[narrow blade]

technically yea, but it would be bad

You never saw how Valve does talents?

Look at this example: https://github.com/spirit-bear-productions/dota_vpk_updates/blob/main/scripts/npc/heroes/npc_dota_hero_omniknight.txt

look at special_bonus_unique_omniknight_4

[manic oxide]

i will

thanks

and jsut for something more, is there a simplest way to change hero icon selection?

this

image

i thought it was panorama/images/heroes/selection/

[narrow blade]

it should be yea if you override vanilla heroes

[manic oxide]

like this way?

it doesnt do anything i am doint it wrong

[narrow blade]

I see your issue, in your path it says 'game`

[manic oxide]

omg

[narrow blade]

same folder path except it should be content

[manic oxide]

omg

i spend hours

there

XD

[narrow blade]

so content/dota_addons/name.../panorama/images/heroes etc.

[manic oxide]

thanks dude

[narrow blade]

np

[manic oxide]

but

i think i keep it doing wron?

is it the resolution'

?

[narrow blade]

well no idea right now

[manic oxide]

someone said to me to use source 2 viewer

but it is totally new for me

or do i neew to use override_hero?

[narrow blade]

it works for me even without override_hero, so not sure

[manic oxide]

this works for me for videos

[manic oxide]

i am using png

format

[narrow blade]

post that in the other thread, maybe someone would know ¯_(ツ)_/¯
