Adding Abilities to Spellbook

[elvenranger]

Well, the title tells it all.

A unit X buys a spell (O) from shop A. X has two spellbooks, Offensive and Defensive. O has Editor Suffix [Offensive]. How do you make is to that when the spell has the Editor Suffix [Offensive], it will be automatically added to the spellbook [Offensive] and when it has the Editor Suffix [Defensive], it will automatically be added into the spellbook [Defensive]. It will refuse to add when the unit has that ability already and will display text "You have already learned that ability".

Can someone also express this in an event where unit X learns and automatically adds the ability to the corresponding spellbook when entering a region but will refuse to add when it has been added already.

Listen:

1. Create a spell book (just cnp from itemabilities)
2. set max and min ability number to 12
3. make it unit ability
4. add all spells you want
5. create trigger that disables those abilities for player
6. create trigger that enables them foor player!
7. YAY! It's complete

The same; add all offensive ability to offensive spell book; add all defensive ability to defensive spell book. When the game start, disable all those ability and enable it when the player buy item from shop.

but if you want to be able to put random abilities inside, do this:

-Create a spellbook to be given to your hero

-For each spell that the hero can buy, create another spellbook, and make sure that its BaseOrderID is similar to that of the spellbook of your hero

-Then create the spells, and put them inside they're respective spellbook

-Disable all of the dummy spellbooks, then just add the spellbook corresponding to the learned spell to the hero...

-Since the dummy spellbook is disabled, it will not show on the hero, but since it has the same orderID as the spellbook of the hero, all spells inside that spellbook will show on the spellbook of your hero...

for the next question: you need to save those abilities into a variable array, since you cannot get the editor suffix in-game...
