I've been doing some buttons, but they won't show up. The weird thing, IMO, is that I have two of the almost exact same buttons - one works, the other doesn't. The only thing that is different about the two are the names. One of them won't show up though. I have a score of buttons that just leaves the commandcard blank, and I have no idea what's wrong with them?
Is there any apparent reason that some buttons won't show up, while others will?
Are you sure the button is the problem? And you mean you added a button to a unit's command card and it won't show up? Check the command card again, sometimes the Ability Command field stays empty and you can't see the button in game.
The button is linked to the exact same ability as the one that works is. It's a dummy ability that activates an effect that does nothing at all. The ability's effect itself is done through triggers. This doesn't explain how two buttons that are virtually the same and are set up the same way, with the same abilities linked, doesn't work the same. There is NO difference whatsoever in the buttons, except for their names - same icons. This leads me to believe that the ability is the problem, or even the effect. But then again - the ability works on the other button.
Well, no. The ability is in data, but it doesn't do anything itself. It activates a trigger though. This doesn't have anything to do with the buttons not showing up
It'd be a good idea to go to the unit's command card (inside the Data Editor), select one of the buttons which aren't working, and take a screenshot. That'll make it easier to diagnose. ^^
EDIT: And then upload the screenshot for us to take a look at, obviously ._.'
On the third screenshot, see the three fields below the command card interface? «Command Type», «Ability», and «Ability Command». The latest ("Ability Command") is empty, it is probably why it's not showing up.
Creating a new button works. With the same abilities. Can it have something to do with the fact that i just copied and pasted a single button, and that it somehow bugs?
Well, I've basically fixed it by doing all new buttons - that worked. I'm pretty sure that the reason why the buttons didn't work was that i copied and pasted a single button like 35 times, and that led to some problems.

Make sure the button is properly linked to something. If it's an ability, make sure the fields for the ability and ability command have something.
Check the button state on the ability that it is not suppressed and that there are no requirements hiding it

There are no requirements on the ability
Then this is a trigger problem.

There are only 3 possible causes.
1. the ability is not on the unit despite you having linked the command card to the ability
2. the button for the ability is set to suppressed
3. a requirement is preventing the button from being shown

Taking a screenshot always solves my problems (;

@Wc3SRui: Go
No, because the button to the right is a working button with the EXACT same setup. No ability command either

I advise uploading your map so we can see what you have done. Please explain exactly what ability is giving trouble.
