Spellbook skills problem

Hi,
An ability I'm making is called Witchers' Mysteries, which is based on Spell Book. It has 10 dummy abilities inside (based on Berserk) which when clicked, give you a real ability depending on the dummy ability cast. The 10 real abilities are divided into 2 sub groups, and each sub group has its own hotkey. When you cast a new dummy ability from inside the spell book, all real abilities from its sub group are removed to make room for the new one. So, IE;

I cast the dummy ability "Potion of the Swallow", then exit my spell book. I now have the real ability "Potion of the Swallow", which has coords 1,2 (subgrp "targeted"). Because I feel like changing, I go into my spell book once more and press the "Potion of the Tawny Owl". When I exit the spell book, "Potion of the Swallow" has been removed and in its place is "Potion of the Tawny Owl" instead.

Now, here's my problem: It doesn't matter if I press ".. Tawny Owl" or ".. Swallow", I always get ".. Tawny Owl". Here are my triggers;

      • Map initialization

      • -------- Witcher Secrets (2,2) --------
      • Set WS_ARRAY_2[1] = Potion of White Honey
      • Set WS_ARRAY_2[2] = Thunderbolt Potion
      • Set WS_ARRAY_2[3] = Elixir of Black Blood
      • Set WS_ARRAY_2[4] = Hanged Mans' Venom

WS_INT_1 is an integer with base value 1.

Help greatly appreciated!

Isn't it possible that your hero gets screwed up because of Order Strings?
I mean, if it has 10 spells based off Berserk, it's going to try and cast them all at once if they're based off the same ability.

To check if this is true, try removing the Scrawny Owl from the spellbook. If your unit still gets Scary Owl, then the problem is definately not with Order Strings. If you don't get it, try basing all your skills of Channel instead, or use a different Order String for your spells (I only think that's possible with Channel though).

Ok yeah, the first thing didn't work so I'm trying yours out :)

EDIT: Tried it, and it worked. :) Just have to remake all my dummy abilities then
EDIT 2: It works! Forgot to set Channel to "Visible" so got confused for a bit. +++REP!

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
