Changing or removing the cancel button

[envenger]

Is there anyway to change the hot-key of the "cancel" ability present in the spell book?

Or is there anyway to completely remove it?

I have triggered something else when the player presses the escape key. But "cancel spell book" has the hot-key as escape. So it closes a spell book if it is open which, I don't want.

Will the cancel button still work when I press escape if I add 12 spells in the spell book so that the "cancel spell book" ability gets pushed out of the spell book?

You would have to FAKE the spellbook.

Basically your hero has the spellbook with the abilities but it's disabled for that player. YOu have to add a Fake spellbook ability.

When you press the Fake-Spellbook, you select a Unit with the abilities you want. The unit has no cancel icon, so, you're good. Whatever order is given to that unit, order your hero to do the same.

Of course, you have to disable movement, attack, hold position, move, and patrol for the Spellbook-unit

Whats a fake spellbook? Is there no way to edit the warcraft-3 editor and find the cancel button?

When we add 12 abilites to the spellbook, the cancelbuttons moves out of the spellbook. But would that still work?

There's no way to remove Cancel Button from Spellbook. It will always be closed with ESC, that's a Wc3 default. If adding 12 abilities to the spellbook works for you, then that's your way. If it doesn't, wait for someone to help you further. I can't help you right now with the fake spellbook thing

i think adding 12 abilities would be your best bet.
you could put blank passive abilities in the rest of the slots you arent using,
and call them "empty spell slot" or something of the like.

you can use fake spellbook, wich mean you need to use another unit with 12 ability. When a hero open a spellbook order the triggering player to select those unit with 12 ability. And when the player press the escape button while selecting that unit just simply order the triggering player again to select the hero...

Note: You must place the unit somewhere hidden in your map, and make every spell have global cast range... If you want to cast a spell like carrion swarm, simply just order a dummy to do that
