    Go to the object editor and you'll have access to the spells.

    Take a spell and "clone" it (copy it) with a new name. Now change the available statistics. That's just basic stuff. If you're looking for new graphical effects, you'll need an expert.

    Are you going to have the fixed camera?

    Because I'd actually love to know how to do that...

    And somehow you should include a save/load system.

    And the Object Editor will be your friend for spells and items.

    I'm sure sc2:dota will be available within 12 hours after it hits the shelves. :)


    You can only change spells in the TFT editor.

    Items can be redefined in both... Goto the object editor (menu or button bar) and there will be a tab near the top of the new window called "Items"

    To create a new item, right click on one from the list to use as a template and click copy-paste.
