[Trigger] Spellbook of Auras

[Gilles]

How would I make a skill using the spell book that let you choose which aura you would like on. Right now I have a dummy spell (I used fan of knives) and a trigger. The trigger is just when unit casts Devotion Aura, add new skill to Hero. The skill is the real devotion aura, and has no icon. I hoped that this would make it appear under him and everyone gets the aura, but no skill appears. It didn't work so I made and icon for it and it still won't add it to my hero.

Okay, I dont fully understand what you're saying there so I'll just say what I would do.

You're on the right path about dummy spells. Try to use channel instead, it's entire purpose is being a dummy spell (it does sometimes not serve that purpose that well, but for this occasion it should be fine). Have one dummy spell for each aura. E.g. Dummy Devotion Aura is cast, add real devotion aura.

This would of course display the actual aura in the command card, which is not really a bad thing. It reminds people which auras they have on. It isnt very awkard. But if you wanted to fix that you would need a spell book for each aura. For each seperate spell book, add 1 aura and then disable all the spellbooks (but not the auras) for all players. Whenever you want to add an aura, just add it's spell book.

E.g. Dummy Devotion Aura is cast, add Spellbook devotion aura.

This will add devotion aura with out any icons. It means ofc that you will need 2 extra abilities per aura, so that's up to you to decide.

Whoa, I didn't get that second one, but I didn't like the sound of it.

With the first one that's exactly what I am doing. As for the channel, which spell could I use? In my previous post I said I did have a dummy spell and the real one, and the trigger added the real one but it wouldn't work, and I don't know how to put the trigger into a message I know you use but I don't get how to paste it in here.

• Aura
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to DummySpell
  • Actions
    • Unit - Add Devotion Aura to (Casting unit)

It should be this simple

Edit: i tested this it works fine

Alright thanks. I'll try exactly how you did it, I am pretty sure I did something really close or the exact thing, I may have used a different event, like begins channeling or starts the effect.

Edit: It works, thanks! I used the hero - Learn skill instead.
