Issue with two spells based on the same spell.

[RammaLammaDing]

I've got an issue in the map I'm making. You see i have two spells that originally came from the same but I've changed them. So now when i use one of those spells both of them trigger. What can i do to fix that?

You can not have 2 spells with the same order string on the same unit, which means you cannot have 2 spells based of the same spell on a unit.

Fix by :

You need to change one (or both) of your abilities orderids (found above ability name in the object editor).
I suggest you change the order ids to an order id that is similar to the spell.
All order ids are based off defult warcraft melee abilities and are usualy similar to the ability name.

Actually, you can only change the Base Order IDs on certain abilities such as channel or Chaos or something like "Lumber Exchange"... Don't worry, I had to remake an ability as well just so that wouldn't happen too! :coolgrunt:

That's why I usually just base the ability on one of those abilities and trigger the effects so if I need to change the Base Order IDs, I can change it whenever I want to.

Yea, as I pointed out in another thread, it doesn't work for all spells. Only for a few spells specifically. Channel, Chaos and a few others.

Yea, just so ye know, I think these are the only Base Order ID spells that are modifiable:

• Channel
• Chaos
• Charge Gold and Lumber

I just wanted to let ye know so that ye have more than just 1 puny option... :thunbsup:
