The '''Abilities''' module provides functions for retrieving data about hero abilities and their upgrades.
Abilities module will cover any scripting that relates to hero abilities.


* The function <code>get_ability_name</code> references [[Data:AbilityCards.json]] to link a hero and ability slot to an ability's display name.
* The functions <code>get_ability_prop</code> and <code>get_ability_upgrade_prop</code> reference [[Data:AbilityData.json]] to get specific stats from an ability's base data or its upgrades.


== Examples ==
=== Submodules ===
=== get_ability_name ===
[[Module:Abilities/utils|'''Abilities/utils''']] - Common internal functions that are shared amongst any Abilities/ modules
To get the localized display name of a hero's ability (numbered 1 to 4):
<pre>{{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_name|hero_atlas|1}}</pre>
Returns:
<code>{{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_name|hero_atlas|1}}</code>


Function can be passed with <code>lang</code> parameter to override the current language to a specific language code.
[[Module:Abilities/card|'''Abilities/card''']] - Generates hero ability cards


<pre>{{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_name|hero_atlas|1|lang=ru}}</pre>
[[Module:Abilities/icon|'''Abilities/icon''']] - Searches for an icon based on the (English) name of the ability
Returns:
<code>{{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_name|hero_atlas|1|lang=ru}}</code>


=== get_ability_prop ===
[[Module:Abilities/details_table|'''Abilities/details table''']] (WIP) - Generates details table to show raw ability data
To get a property from the base stats of an ability. You can use the ability's key (e.g., "ability_afterburn") or its proper name (e.g., "Afterburn").
<pre>{{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Afterburn|BurnDuration}}</pre>
Returns:
<code>{{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Afterburn|BurnDuration}}</code>
 
You can also retrieve nested properties by using dot notation to drill down into the data structure. For example, to get a value nested inside a <code>Scale</code> table:
<pre>{{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Lycan Curse|MaxRage.Scale.Value}}</pre>
Returns:
<code>{{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Lycan Curse|MaxRage.Scale.Value}}</code>
 
=== get_ability_upgrade_prop ===
To get a property from a specific ''upgrade'' of an ability.
<pre>{{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_upgrade_prop|Afterburn|3|DPS}}</pre>
This example gets the <code>DPS</code> value from the 3rd upgrade for the ability "Afterburn".
 
Returns:
<code>{{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_upgrade_prop|Afterburn|3|DPS}}</code>
 
Another example, getting the `DamageAmplificationPerStack` from the 2nd upgrade of "Marksman":
<pre>{{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_upgrade_prop|Marksman|2|DamageAmplificationPerStack}}</pre>
Returns:
<code>{{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_upgrade_prop|Marksman|2|DamageAmplificationPerStack}}</code>
