How to make an item with more abilities and also one castable ability?

[stan0033]

Hi, in my map some items have more than 4 abilites, thats why I put some abilities in a spellbook and add it to the item. That way works.
The problem is that if an item has a spellbook and I turn 'actively used'=true, when you click on the item the spellbook opens.
One such item that I make has 6 passive abilities and one active so thats 7. In order to work all abilities must be 4. But if I put some i na spellbook, when i click the item the spellbook will open instead of the real ability being cast.

Any way to solve this?

Detect units picking up, buying, selling, and dropping that item. Manually add/remove the hidden spellbook ability for the passives and entirely remove it from the item's ability list.

I would put all the passives in the spellbook and hide it. Abilities would still be on the item, but not clickable (actively usable/opened).

its the spellbook that opens not the abilities

aitz is suggesting you disable the spellbook ability for all players (at map init or thereafter). It likely means the unit can't open the spellbook and thus won't try to do so when the item is clicked.

An item can have more than 4 Abilities added to it at a time.

All you have to do is Shift-click the Abilities field and add the rawcodes directly. See the pictures for an example.

Note that the rawcode Abilities were showing up as Unknown for me until I manually Edited them to their correct value.

hm havent thought of that
shift+click is usually used to force too big or negative numbers in a field

The spellbook is an ability
So if you hide it at init or whenever you get that item, the spellbook won't be clicked and opened, if you set that item to be "used actively = true".
