[Solved] Item with acitve ability and spellbook

Is there any way to make item hold one active abiliity and spellbook as well? Problem is - using immolation and few other skills, which doesn't interrupt unit's channeling, isn't allowed if spellbook included. Game tries to open spellbook, not to toggle immolation.

Spellbook required to put 4+ abilities into item

Im aware of method "add abilties manually on pickup", but I'd rather ask for workaround first.

How should the game determine what is your intention with the item? When you click it how should it know whether you want to use immolation or spellbook? Hence why you shouldn't use multiple active abilities on one item.

So an answer to your question is no, there is not way - At least none that I am aware of.

normal abilities, which does interrupt unit, like fan of knives, successfully being recognized. it's common sence to work with first stated ability.
this issue appears only with immolation-like abilities

Try placing the abilities in a different order in the object editor in the item tab.

I think the game considers only the top-of-the-list active abilities before the rest, so, Make Immolation be in the first place.

Here is your solution:

Explanation: Every ability object has an orderid field. But when abilities get added to items, their order ids get changed to 852008-852013. And as you may know, if a unit has 2 abilities with the same orderid, only the last one will be casted.

But for items, there's another problem: if an item has 2 active abilities, only the first will be displayed on the ui. So if spellbook is the first, it will open spellbook. But if Berserk is the first, it will attempt to cast Berserk, and since Berserk and spellbook have the same id, it will try to cast spellbook instead (and fail).

Therefore, the solution is to make the Berserk ability be the first AND the last simultaneously

Obs. Immolation doesn't really work on items. You can toggle it on, but clicking again won't deactivate it.
