Modding Tomes

[Ganzor]

I was wondering how I would mod a tome to add X to a stat instead of the basic 1 or 2. During the old patch, I believe it was accomplished by editing the mpq files...but how do we do it now? Triggers?

Example: The player buys a single tome of +10 strength. It adds 10 to str without the user having to click any charges.

Thanks

Create a trigger that when a unit buys an item, he automatically uses it. That is with consumable, but tomes automatically do that. I also believe it'd be found in "Abilities" under Items. (in the Object Manager)

with abilities you can only add up to 4, but ill try using a trigger similar to that

You have to edit the abilities...

I.E Create a new one and the change the strength integar to 10.

As Starsoft said, you would need to edit the skill the strength tome is attached to.

Does anyone have a link that will show me an example of how to create a custom ability, such as +10 strength?

I figured out a way to do it, although it is semi-inefficient. I created an item with X charges, and whenever a hero aquires the item, I have it automatically used..for however many charges there are. It works, although if it goes above about 50 it could start to lag people's computers when used.

Edit: I'm using RoC, not TFT
