[Solved] Forcing to open a spellbook

[Sephalo]

Is there a way to let a unit open his spellbook?

I'm asking because I replace a specific ability in the spellbook, so I add a dummyspellbook with a new ability in it, etc, and I remove the old dummy spellbook.. Anyways... That closes the spellbook right after I added the dummybook.

Therefor I would like to know if I can automatically open it again with a simple trick in Jass or something?

Alright. Next question then.
How do I force a UI key?

EDIT:
I mean, do I have to use it with GetLocalPlayer() or something?
Let's say my Keybinding is Z.

 

[Nestharus]

ForceUIKey

 

[Sephalo]

if GetLocalPlayer() == GetOwningPlayer(caster) then

    call ForceUIKey("Z")

endif

Like that?...
I'm always very insecure with locally doing things.

 

[PurgeandFire]

Yes use it with GetLocalPlayer(). Otherwise it will force it globally.

if GetLocalPlayer() == Player(0) then
    call ForceUIKey("Z")
endif

Thanks for the help guys.
I got it to work now.

However now I'm wondering an other thing.
Is it possible to track if a spellbook is currently open or not?

not possible.


What you can do is create dummy abilities that don't do anything. When they are used, they are removed and the spellbook in question is added and opened. If the ability level of the spellbook is >0, then that spellbook is currently open.

When escape is hit or another unit is selected, the spellbook is closed.

Alright.
Well thats too much of a hassle for just a very slight improvement.
It's not worth it.

Thanks anyway!
