Okay so I have a unit with 3 spellbooks [SpellBooks A], and each one has 3 more spellbooks [SpellBooks B] inside. Each of the [SpellBooks B] contains 3 spells. When I cast any of these spells, the cooldown of ALL THE SPELLBOOKS fires.
Any solution for that?

Note: Every spell inside [SpellBooks B] has a different order string, and every SpellBook has a different order string than the other.
Any help please?

EDIT: I unchecked the field "Data - Shared Spell Cooldown" for the spellbooks, now the spellbooks don't show any cooldowns, but the spells inside show cooldown if any one of them is used.

EDIT2: Is this because the spells inside are based on the same spell even if I changed their order string? If yes, then please tell me how to fix this, or at least give me the names of about 28 different no target abilities.

The spells have to be based on the channel ability in order to not share cd.
I just have to remake those spells then. Gonna try that and let you know. Thanks Chaosy.

I recently had a similar problem... check it out I think you might find a solution

and here's a link to the map containing a solution

That link doesn't work, but I managed to get to the map you're reffering to inside your thread. It's a neat idea but wouldn't fit the layout I'm trying to make. (Plus I'll have to make 27 extra spellbooks and 27 extra triggers, and I'm extremely lazy :p) Thanks a lot anyways (y)

your link is not redirecting properly btw, use this:

@ OP:

Can you clarify your problem again, i am not sure if i understand it correctly (the layout)?

Unit has
sb.A ; sb.A ; sb.A
3xsb.B ; 3xsb.B ; 3xsb.B
3xspell ; 3xspell ; 3xspell

You got the layout correctly. 3 major spellbooks, 9 minor spellbooks and 27 spells in total. The spells were all based on Taunt, but I guess I have to remake them based on 'Channel' Ability.
