Abilities Inside a Spellbook Disappearing

[jedi8955]

I'm having this god damned annoying problem with abilities inside a Spellbook.

A unit type of mine has a Spellbook with 6 passive auras inside of it. (2 based off Devo, 2 based off Endurance and 2 based off Trueshot. All these auras have no orderid)

These abilities exist to only be manipulated by triggers.

But here's the problem: units only have a random few of these auras inside their spellbooks. They don't get all of them, just a couple of them.

The abilities they recieve is randomly changed on reload. And it's not like the abilities are being spread across all instances of the unit, they just don't have some.

For example:

Unit 1 will have Auras 1, 4 and 5.

Unit 2 will have 2 and 4.

Unit 3 will have 1,3,4 and 6.

Unit 4 will have only Aura 5.

I'm completely flustered. What in the sweet unholy hell could be causing this?

As always, many thanks for any help on this. My brain is officially caved in.

Without showing us the triggers, we can not help you.

Basicly, if you want to add spells to a spellbook, you need an addability based of spellbook with the same orderid as the visible spellbook has, add it to your unit and then disable the spellbook without removing it.
If you want to remove spells from a spellbook, just remove the matching addability.

It's easy as this.

I'm not adding spells to the spell book through triggers. The spells inside are added through the Object Editor under the Data - Spell List entry of the spellbook itself.

Is this what's causing the problem? I haven't messed with Spell Books before, am I required to add the spells through triggers?

No, it should work fine. However, you have to set up the minimum and maximum number of spells inside this spellbook to 6 (object editor field), or the spells will be selected randomly.

Oh, ok.

I had set it to 1 and 11, simply because when I made the spell book, I didn't know how many abilities I would need.

And I was kind of expecting it to act as minimum and maximum, as per the english terms, haha.

Gotta love game engines, eh?

Thanks a bunch for the help, I appreciate it

Edit: Just implemented this, worked like a charm. Perfect consistency.
