Question regarding skill descriptions

May 12, 2010 3:11:54 PM from Demigod ForumsDemigod Forums

Hi all, quick question regarding displayed skill descriptions. I'm a nub modder, so hopefully the answer is simple.

 

I'm working on a balance mod (changing skills and such) and I'm trying to update the skill descriptions as I go. I've almost got it working. Tool tips display the correct info in the skill tree, but when I hover over an unpurchased skill on the UI (lower left area), the incorrect information is still displayed.

I changed TB's RoI to drop down in several waves, and added the number of waves to the tool tip. The correct number is displayed for each skill in the skill tree, but when I hover over the unpurchased skill at the start of the game, it displays the [GetWaves] function I defined. It seems like the function isn't recognized by the UI, but is by the tooltip. After i purchase the skill, the UI panel displays the correct information.

I changed the descriptions in HEMA01_Abilities.lua and also in Strings_db.lua. The descriptions match.

How can I get the UI skill panel to correctly display this tool tip before the skill is purchased?

Unpurchased skills also have tooltips defined. If you scroll to the bottom of the ability blueprint file you'll find the unpurchased version. You'll need to change the tool-tips defined there as well.
