spellbook based item system isnt working

[GoGoTauren]

I made an item system where you use an item, and an ability gets added to the spellbook "equipped items" which gives stat bonuses and stuff. You click the ability to "unequip", getting the item back in your inventory. after that, if you equip the item again, it removes the item but doesn't put it in the spellbook.

I won't be surprised if there's no way to fix this, but i'll appreciate any help.
also, i realise this wouldn't work universally if it was in an RPG or something, but ill fix that if i can get the stupid spellbook to work

Check similiar systems in the resources for directions/examples on how to make this kind of system.

Also read through this thread about the spellbook-bug if you haven't, You may also want to check this thread.

This is a system which seems to function the same as yours. It's open-source so you can check how I solved this.

It'd be easier to help you solve your problem if you didn't protect the map (or did you use a modified WE?). For some odd reason the item seems to be disappearing randomly when you unequip, also, the stat bonus isn't always applied.

you cant open the map in WE? interesting... i didnt use a modified WE or protect it or anything.

Apparently I was just getting an odd error message that my WE is out of date (which it isn't).

Anyway, the reason it sometimes doesn't give an unequip ability, and the same reason you sometimes don't get the stat-bonus is OE-related.

Change "Maximum Spells" and "Minimum Spells" on "Claw Dummy" to 2 and it'll work fine.
The engine adds a random number(between "Minimum" and "Maximum") of abilities to the spellbook.
