Abilities that cast eachother?

This sounds wierd, but I cannot figure it out!

I made two abilities both based off of channel. Renamed them, put in their stats.. etc.

When I cast one of them, it casts the other ability instead! I can only use it after casting it once and activating the cooldown for the other ability. It looks kinda wierd when I go to cast a beam on a unit and end up using the other ability instead. Does anyone have any clue what causes this?

You can't use the same ability to make two. Each ability has its own code and when you copy it the copys use the same code and get messed up.

If you can copy two different abilitys so they dont mess each other up.

actually you can use channel two times by changing the orderstring. that doesnt work on other abilities tho.

Actually, channel can be used for several abilities.

yep, you have to chage the order string to another ability...

for example, if you have 1 as warstomp and the other as blink... the unit with the channel spell with the orderstring of blink cannot use the spell blink or any other spell based off of it.

Ok so I don't know everything. I was just saying what I know from my limited Knowledge. :(

So, HexenLordX, I take it you did change their Data - Orderstring values?

Actually the field to be changed is data - Base order id

Indeed, my bad, didn't have the WE open.

does the base order ID change anything to do with the ability or its effects? If not.. couldn't I just set the base order ID to none for both of them, so they wouldn't conflict with eachother?

It has nothing to do with the effect of the ability, only make sure that they don't conflict with any other abilities. I reckon if you set them both to none, they might conflict with each other. So set one to, like, coupletarget and one to divineshield, or whatever abilities you're not using.

Alright that clears everything up.

Thanks a lot Panto.
