Im trying to make a system for my map, and I have a question and one problem.

First, is it possible to have a spellbook inside a spellbook?

Last, I created an ability based of storm bolt which has max range, 0.01 duration and no mana cost. All other stuff such as missile, damage and buff are 0. When I try to cast it, I cant seem to select a unit target. Tried using other abilities like Channel and Sleep as base, but still same outcomes. So how can this be fixed?

Also, might update this main post if I have more questions.

Thanks.

Well I tried what you said. Unfortunately, my map starts to crash

Be sure that your spellbook got locked position. If it change it spells may be unable to cast.

What do you mean?

ok u use 2 spell book but u do this

A Spellbook / B spellbook

u put B inside the A, and A inside the B

overall it is a endless loop ....

it is ok if u use spellbook in spellbook but dont put to a child spellbook his parent spellbook...

so change the spell list in footman spellbook or change as u want just dont make loops

"dont put to a child spellbook his parent spellbook..."
"u put B inside the A, and A inside the B"

So what do you mean with "parent"? I think that when I put B into A, A becomes parent, doesn't it?

y, but if inside the A, you put B and inside the B also you A then it is a endless loop or just something what imposible because parent spellbook will be child of the parent child

Its weird. Normaly that idea should work. :/

where? its exactly when u see the monitor with webcam and in monitor u acctually see what u record with webcam, so result u see ur monitor unlimited time, pic inside the pic

its work when u put B to spellbook A, so then u can put anything to B exclude A&B, and u can put anything to A exclude A
