Spellbook spells to initiate triggers

I know this is an often asked question. However, my searches didn't pull up much information. So I will ask directly and hopefully someone who has the same problem will have this thread that has a clear answer.

I am using a spellbook as an item. The "spells" in the spellbook are to issue commands to units.

The triggers of commanding the units I have no problem with. They all work. I am simply using the spellbook as a GUI way instead of typing in the command or something else.

I want it to be as simple as click Icon A and it hits trigger A. If you click Icon B, it hits trigger B. Icon C initiates trigger C. You get the idea.

I can get one icon to work correctly. The others have crashed the game. Of course, copying and pasting the working "spell" doesn't work even if I change the order ID. The one that is working is based on roar.

What must I do to make these "spells" (that act as GUI buttons) to toggle separately (and not altogether) as well as not crashing the game or putting odd icons on my item holder's head (roar makes the roar symbol, for example).

Is it possible to get a list of spells that DO work well as 'buttons'? Aside from roar, what else works? Other ones I've tried crash the game, alas.
