i have several heroes each having a own learn ability.
all worked fine until now. Everytime i create a new skill, another one wont work anymore.( means the ability is just not shown on the hero anymore, nor is it working, but everything is fine) i delete the one not working, create new one replacing the old one, then ANOTHER one is not working anymore and so on and on. All abilities are having unique IDs.
I am getting really pissed and wanted to ask if any1 is facing similiar problems?

i have checked my units and abilities 100 times and it's definitly not a setting problem with req. etc!! they just start not working anymore.

edit--------edit

it's really like the ability doesn't exist anymore, it's shown in editor, all set up but ingame trigger tells me that the unit doesnt have that ability.

as i said i checked this 100 times and the link is not broken 100%. all skills have worked before, it starts with creating a new skill (the link is still not broken after creating). it's like there is a max limit for new skills and then just removes one, but anyway i have deleted the editor.exe files and repaired it. it seems to work now, but i still would like to know why this happened.

do you know an absolute number of abilities and behaviors?
i have 16 skills and 1 behavior on the unit. i don't think this is too much.

btw i just realized that the repair tool didn't fix the problem but if i copy the affected skill it jumps to another skill.
my only hope is to create so many abilities that ii jumps to an unused one.
