Make sure the PP paths look all right in libraries\ai_spell_execution\ai_spell_execution.map

Also in the base game there are a couple spells missing from the Evil spellbook in system.ini: evil Barrage, Palantir Vision, and Gundabad Orcs.

Hehe

Open the map files with Worldbuilder of course. You'll need to use the scripting tool in the upper right to edit the spell execution.

Um, you can try copying the script and edit it so that it references a different power

I managed to get Goblins to uses their Cave Bats and Taint, but they don't seem to use other powers. Can you tell me what to look for in these scripts? Also if there is something else to check out, please tell me.

Well you need to... look for everything being correct. It's really easy so this shouldn't be a problem.

Eg. mine (edited) says:

Spell List 01 - Norm - Purchase Taint

*** IF ***
Counter 'Wild Spell List Choice' IS Equal To 1
*AND* Player Player '<This Player>' can purchase Science 'SCIENCE_Taint'.
*** THEN ***
Player '<This Player>' attempts to purchase Science Science 'SCIENCE_Taint'.
Set Flag named 'Taint Spell Purchased' to TRUE
Enable Script 'Wild Spell List 01 - Norm - Purchase Spiderling Allies'.

Then the next one down the line is:

Wild Spell List 01 - Norm - Purchase Spiderling Allies

*** IF ***
Counter 'Wild Spell List Choice' IS Equal To 1
*AND* Flag named 'Taint Spell Purchased' IS TRUE
*AND* Player Player '<This Player>' can purchase Science 'SCIENCE_SpiderlingAllies'.
*** THEN ***
Player '<This Player>' attempts to purchase Science Science 'SCIENCE_Darkness'.
Set Flag named 'Spiderling Allies Spell Purchased' to TRUE
Enable Script 'Wild Spell List 01 - Norm - Purchase Darkness'.

I don't know what else to say really. You need to make sure:

1) The powers are in the right order for the power tree
2) You set the power's Flag to True when purchasing it
3) Script names are correct
4) First script in the list is active, others are disabled
5) Difficulty levels are set properly
etc. etc.

Just go in a chain.

And er, look my Spiderling Allies one is wrong. :( Should say "Player '<This Player>' attempts to purchase Science Science 'SCIENCE_SpiderlingAllies'." It's easy to make a little error like that, and now Goblins never use Spiderling Allies on that pp path.
