spellbook trigger function

[aliminator8]

Something that i cant figure out, how i can trigger a ability in a spellbook...
Ill go into more detail.
ok, i have a curse ability which is in a spellbook.
I want when my hero,when he hits a unit to use the curse ability on himself.

What i have now is:
curse attack
-events
--Unit - A unit is attacked
-Conditions
--((Attacking Unit)is a hero) equal to true
-Actions
--wait .40 seconds
--Unit - Order(Attacking unit) to Undead Banshee -Curse (Attacking unit)
--wait .40 seconds

Also i dont know if i should make him cast spell book and then curse....
or both at the same time.
And how would i make him cast spellbook?
Its not in the default spell list...would i have to convert the ability to a custom string then make him cast the string (i have no idea what im talkin about)
**also i have the WE unlimited editor, so advanced triggers would be usable.**

You can't cast curse on yourself, no matter what kind of triggers you use.

Use an dummy spell caster to cast the curse spell on the attacking unit. Use the search if you don't know how.

True, but i made only self targetable.

Then your trigger should work

when you order a unit with a spellbook - type ability, if the unit has a spell based off w/e u order them to cast, it will work, but if they have 2 of the same types of spell (ex: basic stormbolt and stormbolt inside the spellbook) it will order the unit to use both, so be careful so you dont give a unit 2 of the same spell
