How to add a spell to a spellbook and how to learn a spell and make it go to the spellbook.

I made this demo a long ago so many people know the trick already but I am submiting it anyways.

I tested it and it's very usefull for me,... but there is a bug (not a real bug) when you cast any spell and the hero's (here it is the Archmage) Mana gets too low to cast it again the spellbook is closed but is reopanable. I guess it can be fixed by adding an invisble passive ability or an active disabled ability with no mana. Just a suggestion. Well done anyways.

Just set spellbook to allow to be opened when out of mana, I think it is an option in the spellbook ability.

Yes there is an option, but if the mana is too low the and no spell out of the book can be casted, the book gets closed.

I meant that I thought there was an option to stop that. Seems there isn't. I think that empty spellbooks are always openable so if you use the trick it should work well anyways

No it doesn't. Last 10 sec I've tested it. With the addition of sphere it worked well, without it didn't. So I guess I was rigth. ;D

Please do something to fix this "bug" or at least mention it at the readme script.
Thx

cant get this map to open can you explain what you need to do to make a spellbook

the only reason to not be able to open is that is that you don't have Frozen Throne. If you don't have Frozen throne you can't use spellbooks.


And this is not an explanation on how to make a spellbook it is an explanation on being able to add spells to spellbooks in game.

Just thought I'd link to a thread that seeks to explain in what order the icons are added to the spellbook, looks like the right answer was found at last.

Is it possible to have multiple spell books on one hero? I've tried every way I can think of, but it just seems to stack in one.. I don't want to have to use items either. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.

Well Done, Vexorian, This is incredibly useful but I do have 1 question does any of the jass actually have anything to do with the spellbook experiments or is it all to do with the map?
