2 Quick Questions about Spell Book and GetLocalPlayer() Desync

[GreeN!X]

1. Is it possible to Add/Remove abilities on a spell book ingame? If no, any way to do it without making so many spellbook?

2. Will hiding a unit from only one player cause desync? I have no way of testing so I want to ask people who have already done so before.

1. removing it locally? that would be pretty stupid, I think if you remove an ability and the unit has that ability in the spellbook it will be removed from that unit.

2. this is from my tutorial
"6. Unit visibility, color, visibile for 1 player only?

Question - this cause desyncronization?
Answer - Yes but Vertex color dont desync"

Moyack's updated JNGP has a utility for running simultaneous wc3 instances. You should be able to test this kind of thing there

For in-game I don't know but what I linked here is how to remove spellbook abilities from units through triggers.

For adding/removing spellbook abilities many people use dummy spellbooks.

It works like this:
You have a normal spellbook that is empty
For each ability that you want to add you have another spellbook with the same rawcode ID. Those are dummy spellbooks.
All dummy spellbooks are disabled at map initialization to prevent them from being seen.
Since the rawcode IDs of the spellbooks are the same, then all of them share spells from others.

Also, you can check my tutorial for anything related to spellbooks.
