The Black Road Spell Uppgrade System

[IAlexN]

Hi,

I'm working on a new RPG. I've done all the terrain, units and spells. However, I need a system to uppgrade the spells. I've played TBR (The Black Road http://www.theblackroadrpg.proboards102.com/) And I thought the system they use in that map is kewl. So I tryied to make a system like that on my own. My system didn't work at all though. That's why I ask the people on hive.

So, for those who haven't played TBR. You buy an item in a shop e.g. "Uppgrade Spell - Level 2" When you click on that item in your inventory an dialog box will appear on the screen. With the title e.g. "Select Skill" Then there'll be buttons with the name of each spell you can uppgrade. Then you just click on one of the buttons and BAAAM your spell is uppgraded to level 2.
One more important detail is that you can't uppgrade a spell from level 1 to 3. You have to buy the level 2 book then the level 3 book.
If you don't quite understand me, look at the picture below.


Thank You in Advance

Oh, thanks!

There is only one thing that won't work.
I'm not using a e.g. BloodMage 0009 I'm using a unit that will be created when the game is started. BloodMage 0009 have already been created in the editor. On the other hand, that maybe won't make any diffrence.

Thank You Ice

EDIT: "and shouldnt this be in the triggers forum" Well, I actually requested this spell. And that's why I posted this in the Requests forum.
