How to get more spells than toolbar?

[Zalashji]

I'm really annoyed about my inexperiance... I don't know how to create some kind of "spellbook", that i can add spells into for a hero to just "open" the spellbook, and choose a spell to cast. Such as i saw in Defiance ORPG.
If you know how to do this... Please help me!

In object editor, go to the abilities tab. Hit Control + F to open the find window. Search for "Spell Book", without the quotations. Copy and paste the ability.

Edit the data - spell list. Edit the minimum and maximum number of spells also. Set the minimum to 1 and max to 11 to be safe.

Then give your unit the custom spell book.

Also you may wish to make this custom version of the spell book a non-item spell.

But remember, the spells in the spellbook can only be leveled up with trigger (you can't normally level up it by pressing the red cross mark)

It is possible to create a fake leveling system though.

Get it ?

I get it but you can make it look exactly like it wasn't covered up other than the spell book get it?

Thanks very much for the advice... Yet now all i need to know is how to "level" the spells with a trigger. I've searched through the availiable triggers, (As for my level, i'm really dumb, and i'm sure there's something). How to level just one spell, wtihout leveling all of them at once?
Oh, and can you "add" spells into it? Or maybe you could just replace the spell book with the existing spells, and add another into it aswell?

You can level the abilities like this:

• Unit - Set level of *ability* for *unit* to ((Level of *ability* for *unit*) + 1)

This is a simple way how to "remove" spells from spellbook:

• Player - Disable *ability* for *Player*

And "add" abilities to spell book:

• Player - Enable *ability* for *Player*

However like this the spells must be defined in the Data - spell list and the icon order is set to stone.

Huh? You're saying that if i "enable" an ability that actully is inside the spellbook that's already "disabled", it will just be visible in the spellbook, and ready for use?

Thanks guys, this really helped me on the way. I've created a system now, yet it ain't that advanced, but it sure does work. Thanks again for the help!

That's not MUI ;O
What you should do, is create 1 spell book with a certain order ID
Then create separate spell books (up to 11) with the same order ID and put one ability in each spell book. The create a map inta trigger and disable all those 11 spell books (not the base one).
To level the abilities in the spell book, you would level it just as maker said. To remove spells, simply remove the spellbook. (one of the 11 that you disabled)

That's way too advanced for me... I just keep to the system Maker told me. Besides i've already started alot of those spells in that system order. It would be crazy to start anew.
