In the map im making I have a spellbook, but there are some problems. There are only 2 abilitys so far.

Sometimes only one ability is there.
Sometimes two of one ability are there

Is it because they are both the same base ability?
If not, I would be grateful for help.

Edit:
Different base abilitys does not work.

No it's a big problem with spellbooks:

1) You can set each Icon place with X and Y.
- Go to the Object Editor > Tab: Abilities and change the "Art - Button Position Normal (X) (Y)".
As I remember it was:
0/0 1/0 2/0 3/0
0/1 1/1 2/1 3/1
0/2 1/2 2/2 X/X <--( Not useable! )

Now the problem can be: After you change it, it's possible that it doesn't work. I had this problem to longer time ago. Maybe you need more then one try ^^

Is it because of where the spellbook is set or the spells inside are set? I had spell 1 set to 0/0 and spell 2 set to 0/1. I changets it to 2/0 but it still won't work.

The position I gave you, belongs to the spells INSIDE the spellbook. As I said, with the spellbook it CAN BE a different thing, but I don't know this. I had this problem (as I said) 1 year ago - I don't know if it is fixed or not.

So if you check everything I think you got this problem and maybe some other dude here can help.

The reason why both spells acts as one is because they are using the same spell type (2 storm bolt spells, customized). Another possibility is because you use the spell called "Channel" and you customize that. You need to use different spell types for each. If it's a single target spell, use drunken haze and storm bolt, don't use two storm bolt or 2 drunken haze, they will screw together!

Another way is to use "Channel". However, in this case, you need to set the Base Order ID to different kind. By the way, base order ID is what I mean by "Spell Type".

I have the same problem, but i have three spell books and none of them are the same base id "spell type", and none are the same X -Y thing.

So what is the problem?
