Chaos Ability Problem Ok straight to the point.
In my map, there is a trigger that adds the chaos ability to a unit (The unit has a ability based on spellbook),then after a period of time, removes the Chaos ability. But when it gains the Chaos ability, all the spells go from the Spellbook.
Anybody able to help?

Err. Im not sure i undestrand, but ill try anyways:
You want the Chaos abiltiy added to a unit so.. Whats the chaos ability... hmm. I dont know what the chaos ability is, but i dont get it at all.
So you added the Chaos ability to a unit, and it whiped out all the spellbook abilities?
Just make a second spellbook with the same abilities + chaos and swap the books out. Should work?

Chaos is an ability that when you add it, it changes the unit.
And I cant realy re-add the spells because iv used triggers to level up the spells located within the Spellbook.

So you're saying chaos is an auto-morph yes?
If so why not just use triggers to change the unit, and add the abilities to the changed unit? (Its a pain, but it works)

Well, if I do it that way, I have to save the Levels of the spells located within the spellbook (and seeing it has multiple pages, thats reaching over 100 spells for 1 class)
Laggs abit sometimes to.

What a fun problem...
This is a problem indeed hmmm... Cant switch out the hero, cant use a second spellbook...
Only thing i can see here is to give chaos to the unit as an invisible disabled spellbook. If that is impossible, than im afraid im out of ideas...

Only if you add it to them Via. Object Editor, but I add it when they aquire/drop a certain item.
Edit : Even just adding it messes up the Spellbook, even if I remove the spellbook from the Hero then re-add it
