I’m looking to either create a fresh ability for units using the content editor but I cannot find it anywhere.
Is there something I am missing?
I also have attempted to tweak existing abilities but I cannot change the original effects including duration and stat changes in float_properties. The only thing I am able to change is the duration.
How do I go about this?
As an example I would like to tweak one of the campaign movement speed abilities from being an AOE buff in to a single individuals buff that can be activated via Multi, and would like to reduce the duration of its effect from 15 to for instance 3 but there is nothing in the abilities section where I can do this.
I’m only able to tweak the recharge duration and that is it.

Hello,
It is possible to create new abilities. But for the “execution” part, you’ll have to code it in LUA (script). To add a behavior to a abilitie, you need to create a new event that will intercept the skill execution and create a condition for the abilitie in question.
It’s a bit long to explain, so I’ll simply advise you to see how I did it in the mod I developed, which you can find by searching for “RayMind - Annihilation of the Monarchs.” Just typing “RayMind” in the Mods search box is enough to find my mod. In this mod, I created skills and searches. So you should find what you’re looking for to understand how to implement it.
Just a tip to remember: to reference the created ability, in the name section of a function call (for example, BP_GetAbilityBlueprint), you must enter the GUID of your mod, followed by a colon, and then the name of the ability. The GUID is easily retrieved via the “Edit/Copy Mod Guid” menu.
