Issue with Spellbooks and Disabled Spellbooks

[plumsy460]

I'm using a disabled spellbook trick to create more buffs in my map (using auras within the disabled spellbook).

However, I noticed a little problem when these disabled spellbooks are removed from a unit:
- If the unit already has a spellbook ability (even with a different Base Order ID), the player will exit the spellbook (if toogled) when other disabled spellbooks are removed.

The spellbook is not removed, it will just be exited as if canceled if the player is toogling what's inside.

Made sense? :/

I will be soooo happy if there is a solution to the problem!

Thanks a lot in advance!

I guess you should be able to re-open it by ordering the unit to cast the spell book by triggers when you remove the other book.

That could work, yes! Thank you

I'm still open to other suggestions.

A re-open function should only be triggered if the unit is toogling the spellbook. Otherwise the spellbook will just seem to randomly open by itself.

Is there a way to detect that?

"A unit starts the effect of an abiliy"
"ability being cast is equal to spell book"

That's not what I ment.

The spellbook should only be re-opened IF the player is toogling the spellbook. Otherwise the spellbook will open whenever a custom buff (using disabled spellbooks) runs out - at that point the spellbook would seem to randomly open uncommanded.

If I am to make this trigger, I need a way to detect if a player is toogling the spellbook.

Do it when you toggle the spellbook for a unit.

For custom buffs you should probably use the tornado slow aura. This ability has no icon by default, so you won't need a spellbook to hide it.

Just tried putting Slow Aura into my triggers and it works perfectly! ^^

I consider my problem solved. Thank you all for looking into this.
