Basing multiple spells off the same standard spell

[Gray_Fox]

Long title says it all. Is there a way to base multiple spells off the same standard spell without it interfering with one another.

I need this for my map where there is a huge amount of spells to be purchased and used.

Thanks in advance,

Channel, Charge Gold and Lumber can have their unique id's altered, so that they stack. If you need multiple no-target abilities (e.g. Howl), you can use Channel skill, with Target type set to None (Instant), Options: Visible and Data - Base Order Id to anything, just keep in mind that each spell should have a different string there, to prevent collisions.

That seems to work, thanks alot

Just a question however, is it normal that my character's actions ( spells and the icons for move, attack, patrol etc) dissapear for a brief second when using a spell?

Just to end what Pharaoh said:

My editor is in polish, however you need to change 1st field in "Text" part of given ability, and choose differend id.

If its ability that needs a cast point or target, yes the interface will be replaced, removing normal actions untill you choose target.

Nono i mean when the spell is being cast ( when i've already chosen a target ).
That's when it dissapears briefly.

Then it's not normal, meaby you are using Channel ability?

Ofcourse, i was following Pharaoh's advice.
Did i make a mistake somewhere? Or does it always happen with channel?

 

[Bannar]

You have to change the highlighted value to 0, for all levels of your spell while basing it on "Channel".
Normaly it's 180 seconds, and this will be a period when your character simply won't do anything.

 

[Pharaoh_]

It's because of the "Disable other abilities". Set it to False.

Yes it's always a Channel case. Such things don't appear on normal spells.

 

[Gray_Fox]

Awesome, that did the trick.
Im set to go for now, thanks again

Btw, if you want 5 strom bolt to not interfrece each other, simply put them all into a spell book (item ability), and set, shared cooldown equal to false
