About the Spellbook ability (having multiple spellbooks)

[Epix_Loot]

I made a unit with a lot of spells, and decided to Categorize thos spells, and make a spell book ability for each category of spells.
When I tested the map, and "browsed a category", spells from all the other spellbooks were showing up too! then I opened another one and it contained the exact same list of spells!

one of the spell's data

Well, all the spells are exactly the same, but with other spells in the spell list.
To clear up what i was just saying, when i clicked arcane spells the fire, frost, shadow and lightning spells were showing up too!

So what did I do wrong?

I think (i'm not really sure) i have read about spell book

ur prob maybe "base order ID"

maybe u should change the "base order id" (again:i'm not really sure)

different spell book use different "base order ID"

 

[greasontim]

r all of the spells different base skills
and second are they set for different postions

Pretty sure there's only one base spellbook ability. =/

I had a similar issue, I just various levels of the same spellbook ability. Though this was just varying strengths of spells depending on what book the hero was holding, not categorisation.

You could create triggers to switch between varying spellbooks. Like when the player types "frost" "arcane" or "fire", etc, or cycle when they press the escape key.

Events
Player 1 says "arc" as an exact match.
Player 2, etc
Actions
Pick all units owned by triggering player matching (unit type of matching unit is equal to [your caster unit type here]) and Set level of "zBook" to 1 for picked unit


or to cycle (CastingType is an integer array)


Events
Player 1 skips a cinematic sequence
Player 2, etc
Actions
If CastingType[player number of triggering player] = 5 set CastingType[player number of triggering player] to 0
Set CastingType[player number of triggering player] to CastingType[player number of triggering player] + 1
Pick all units owned by triggering player matching (unit type of matching unit is equal to [your caster unit type here]) and Set level of "zBook" to CastingType[player number of triggering player] for picked unit

Change the base order ID's of the spellbooks, make sure they are all different.

And what Base order ID's can i use without bugging the spell?

Any, but unit shouldn't have several abilities with one ID.
