[need help] Conflict between spells

[eagleaie]

Hello all,
my question is maybe a noob question but i've searched in the forum and didn't find a topic about it.

Here is the problem :
- I create two spells based on the same spell.
- I give the two spells to a unit
- When the unit cast one of the spells, the two spells cast at the same time or one take the advantage and is cast whatever was the spell ordered to be cast in the first place.

How i can make these two spells work together ?

PS : i'm sorry if it's not very clear : i'm french.

This question should really go in our FAQ's, if it isn't there already.

If you base 2 spells on the same one, they will share the same order ID's. This means that when e.g. the order ID "cloud" is triggered, every spell with this ID will be cast on the same time, although only 1 spell's mana is used (iirc).

Order ID's cannot be changed in most abilities, so it's not really fixable in an oridinary way.

However, there are 2 abilities that have a changeable order id: Spellbook and Channel.
Spellbook is an ability that allows you to store up to 11 other spells, so this one isn't useful to you.
Channel is an ability with no effect. Since this has many customizable options such as making it a channel spell, area spell or target spell, it's the perfect dummy for spells.

What you need to do is create 2 spells based on channel and change the channelspell so it acts like your original spell (i.e. Targetable or Area or...)
Next, you change the order ID (it's under Data - order id I think) so both channel dummies have a different ID.
Spells with same ID's will be cast simultanously. So if you changed the order ID of the channel spell into "Charm" and the 2nd channel spell into "Cluster Rockets", you can cast the spells separatly. However, if you have a 3rd spell with ID "charm", those 2 abilities will still be cast simultanously.

If you do not completelly understand the trick, feel free to give me more info on what your abilities are and what they're supposed to do.
