3 custom ability base from same spell given to 1 unit. Only 1 spell can be seen?!!?!

Oh man, I made 3 custom spells of of the summon water elemental ability. I want 1 hero to have these abilities but when i choose one of the spells for the hero to learn, I cant learn the other spells. I mean I can learn the other spells but they dont show up. Most likely this means I can only have one water elemental base spell per unit but I wanna know if theres a way around this, cause I dont feel like making more custom ablities ack! emote_confused

yeah sorry, bud that's the way it is.

Even though they all have custom id's abilities and whatnot they still all read off the same base spell. And that base spell in the WE has an 'order'... Go into your custom files, and look at the .txts, look at the base spell, then you're spell, you'll see it yourself.

Every spell you make has to be based off an existing spell, and that order makes your custom spell trigger. And no hero can have two of the same ability with the same order on them.

But use your imagination. WE isn't the only summon spell out there. Base one of them off feral spirit. Maybe there's a way to make treants summon without trees too. Who knows? Base a spell off inferno. Take out the damage and the stun, and make it summon whatever unit you want.

There you go right there. 3 different summon spells all with diferent orders than you can use on the same hero.

aww, damn guess ill start working on the new spells then :( .
Thx for the reply i was gonna do wat u suggested jus wanted to know if i had any options first.;)

So you can't just change the position? That sucks..

Nope

the only way to have more than one summon ability is to base them off of three different summon spells.

(i.e. inferno, owl scout, force of nature ect.)

but the upside of this bug is that if you have 3 summon spells based off of WE oon one unit then all 3 will be cast at the same time :ggani:

can you just change the order string?

can you just change the order string?

Nope, you change the order string, the custom spell will never work again. Atleast that's what I've heard.
