disable spellbook in a spellbook

[Stringel]

hey, got an issue with spellbooks.


So here's the deal, I want the player to be able to open up a spellbook with different abilities even though he has no mana, to do so I came up with the idea to create a spellbook (#2) in the spellbook (#1) with a spell that requires 1 mana to cast (which makes the player able to open spellbook #1 as long as his mana is >0).

Now to the problem. I have a trigger that fires when a spell is learned (spellbook #1), after that i disable spellbook (#2), problem is nothing happens. I still see spellbook #2 when i open up the first spellbook.

TO ROUND THINGS UP: how to disable a spellbook which is inside another spellbook?

Don't do that. Add a passive ability and disable it, you should be able to open it with 0 mana.

Confusing

well, how would I do that? How wood the trigger look? "unit learns ability - disable passive skills", something like that? Because as I have it right now, the spellbook will not get disabled.

to the other dude, thats why i added a summary. I'm really looking forward to help so be constructive, thanks.

Yeah sure, if the unit has the ability at the start, but this spellbook in which i want to have the "dummy spellbook" is a hero ability and is taught during the game.

And on the other hand, that's the way I've been trying to do it at the moment:
Hero learns skill
actions: disable dummy spellbook for triggering player

^ problem is that is doesn't work

 

[HeX.16]

Mine will work it disables it even if its not learned. I know what i said.

You cannot have more than 1 spellbooks as far as I can remember. For example I added a spellbook for a unit which has devotion aura in it, then another spellbook with shockwave in it, the result would be that opening any of the two spellbooks woul display both devotion aura and the shockwave.

you can have multiply spell book, just that it will get confusing to the unit, as this quote

and don't add spell book inside the spell book, it won't work.

if you want spell book to be openable without mana, add a passive ability such as critical, and remove all the data.

That's pretty much what I said.
