Trying to make a Custom - Hero Ability Lean system - Why doesnt this work?

EDIT: Title should be - Hero Ability LEARN system :-(

If a hero Gains a level I give him a Spellbook.
With booleans I detect whether he already has that spellbook, for if he hasnt spent his previous levels skillpoint.

Trigger:

Level

Events

Unit - A unit Gains a level

Conditions

Actions

Set PlayerSkillPoints[PlayerSkillPoints[(Player number of (Owner of (Leveling Hero)))]] = ((Player number of (Owner of (Leveling Hero))) + 1)

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

And - All (Conditions) are true

Conditions

PlayerSkill[(Player number of (Owner of (Leveling Hero)))] Equal to False

(Unit-type of (Leveling Hero)) Equal to Razia

Then - Actions

Unit - Add White Spells [Razia] to (Leveling Hero)

Set PlayerSkill[(Player number of (Owner of (Leveling Hero)))] = True

Else - Actions

Do nothing

A dummy ability in the Spellbook allows him to gain an ability and remove the spellbook.
With each level he gains a skillpoint (integer).
If he still has skillpoints left it shouldnt dissapear, until he has spent them all.

Trigger:

Learn Gilded Light

Events

Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability

Conditions

(Ability being cast) Equal to Gilded Light [Mana Shield]

Actions

Set PlayerSkillPoints[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] = ((Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit))) - 1)

Wait 0.20 seconds

Unit - Order (Casting unit) to Neutral Naga Sea Witch - Deactivate Mana Shield

Unit - Add Gilded Light [AntiMagicShell] to (Casting unit)

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

PlayerSkillPoints[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] Equal to 0

Then - Actions

Set PlayerSkill[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] = False

Unit - Remove White Spells [Razia] from (Casting unit)

Selection - Select (Casting unit) for (Owner of (Casting unit))

Else - Actions

Do nothing

It works fine except it ALWAYS removes the spellbook?

Edited by Blade.dk. Reason: Please use trigger tags!

Trigger:

Set PlayerSkillPoints[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] = ((Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit))) - 1)

What the hell is this for? It absolute nonsenes.
It means that the number of unspent skillpoints is always your PlayerId - 1.
So In GUI the Id of Player 1 is 1 and so your unspend skillpoints are always sero and your spellbook will always get removed. I think that's it. ;)

Hope I could help.

Yup I was just about to post my correction, that was the problem.
I fixed that and I set the defualt value = 1, as heroes being with an unspent skillpoint :-).

Trigger:

Set PlayerSkillPoints[(Player number of (Owner of (Leveling Hero)))] = (PlayerSkillPoints[(Player number of (Owner of (Leveling Hero)))] + 1)

Trigger:

Set PlayerSkillPoints[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] = (PlayerSkillPoints[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] - 1)

Now I have a really strange problem. It works fine BUT

Mana Shield Deactivation only works after the hero has 0 skillpoints left i.e. when the spellbook is removed?

Captain Griffen	What order string does the spell book have? I'm willing to bet on what it might be, OR you used mana shield as a dummy ability in the spell book.

Yea Mana shield is a dummy ability which with triggers when used adds a differnet ability to hero.

I need it to auto deactivate. It does auto deactivate but only

Captain Griffen	It makes a poor dummy ability. Use roar/channel/some item heal abilities, etc.

Fulla	Yea the best ones are divine shield + windwalk as they dont make the caster stop. I was just hoping to get Mana Shield to work, then I could use Immolation as well as im not sure how many dummy spells I can use.

Captain Griffen	Loads of item ones you can use (for healing, armour, etc.). Berserk is a good one.

BertTheJasser	Berserk is BEST.
