SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the trial-and-error of editing Warcraft Y3 Editor object (物编) JSON properties by giving a reliable, correct workflow for changing unit/ability/modifier/projectile attributes.

Core Features & Use Cases

Targeted property editing: Update existing object data for units, abilities, modifiers (Buff/Debuff), and projectiles via the editor_table JSON files.
Correct hotfix → wait → save sequencing: Prevents losing changes by enforcing the editor reload and persistence order.
Field-level guidance: Provides key property mappings (e.g., hp_max, ability_damage, modifier_type, effect_foes) and common tuple formatting rules for Y3 data structures.

Quick Start

Ask to modify the cooldown, cost, and sight_type of abilityall/100001001 in maps/EntryMap, then apply the required hotfix-object-editor and save steps to persist changes.
