I've been trying for about a week to get Saruman to use word of power. I used:

Commandbutton
CommandSet
ExperienceLevels
Saruman's ini
SpecialPowers
Weapon
Gamedata

But in-game the power appears greyed out even at the right level. Here is the code I edited:

Command Button:

CommandButton Command_SarumanSpecialAbilityWordOfPower
	Command			   = SPECIAL_POWER 
	SpecialPower	   = SpecialAbilitySarumanWordOfPower
//	Options			   = 
	TextLabel		   = CONTROLBAR:CAHWordofPower
	ButtonImage		   = Gandolf_radcircle
	ButtonBorderType   = ACTION	
	DescriptLabel	   = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipWordofPower_CAH
	AutoAbility		   = Yes
	PresetRange		   = 120.0
//	UnitSpecificSound  = 
	InPalantir		   = Yes
End

Command set:

CommandSet SarumanCommandSet 
	
	1	= Command_SpecialAbilityIsengardWizardBlast
	2	= Command_SarumanFireball
	3	= Command_SarumanSpecialAbilityWordOfPower;;
	4	= Command_SpecialAbilitySpeechCraft;;
	5	= Command_SpecialAbilityDominateEnemy;;
	6	= Command_SarumanThunderBolt
	12	= Command_CaptureBuilding
	13	= Command_AttackMove
	14	= Command_Stop
End

Experience Levels:

ExperienceLevel	SarumanLevel3
	TargetNames					= IsengardSaruman

	RequiredExperience				= SARUMAN_LVL3_EXP_NEEDED 
	ExperienceAward					= SARUMAN_LVL3_EXP_AWARD
	Upgrades					= Upgrade_SarumanWordofPower	

	AttributeModifiers				= HeroLevelUpDamage2
	Rank						= 3
	LevelUpFx					= FX:GandalfLevelUp1FX
	SelectionDecal
		Texture					= decal_hero_evil
		Style					= SHADOW_ALPHA_DECAL
		OpacityMin				= 50%	
		OpacityMax				= 100%
		MinRadius				= 40
		MaxRadius				= 200
		MaxSelectedUnits			= 40
	End	
END

Saruman's ini:

;;; WORD OF POWER ANIMS ON FOOT;;;
		AnimationState		=  SPECIAL_WEAPON_ONE
			StateName = Attacking
			Animation
				AnimationName		   = GUGandalfG_SKL.GUGandalfG_SPCK
				AnimationMode	   = ONCE
			End
			FXEvent			= Frame:5 Name:FX_GandalfPreAttackBlast
		End


(then a bit further down)


;;; WORD OF POWER;;;

	Behavior = UnpauseSpecialPowerUpgrade ModuleTag_WordEnabler
		SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialAbilitySarumanWordOfPower
		TriggeredBy			 = Upgrade_SarumanWordOfPower
	End

	Behavior = SpecialPowerModule ModuleTag_WordStarter	   
		SpecialPowerTemplate	  = SpecialAbilitySarumanWordOfPower
		UpdateModuleStartsAttack  = Yes
		StartsPaused				= Yes
	End

	Behavior = WeaponFireSpecialAbilityUpdate ModuleTag_WordWeaponFireUpdate   
		SpecialPowerTemplate	   = SpecialAbilitySarumanWordOfPower
		WhichSpecialWeapon		   = 1
		SkipContinue			   = Yes
		UnpackTime				   = 1700 
		PackTime				   = 1	   
		FreezeAfterTriggerDuration = 2500 // Hold AI for this long after we	fire.
		AwardXPForTriggering	   = 0	   
		StartAbilityRange		   = 180.0
		SpecialWeapon			   = SarumanWordOfPower
	End

Special Powers:

RPG Name: lllll Second Age : The Forging lllll
RPG Description: Set in the second age of middle earth. This is a relatively free flowing RPG with a freedom to do what you want (within reason).
Players can choose between a number of different races and professions. A revolutionary aspect of this RPG is that it is in real-time. For j everyday that passes here 10 years will pass in Second Age therefore allowing the key battles and events from Tolkien's fantasy to still take k place. This will make the RPG take about a year. Then it will move onto the Third Age

RPG Era: The Second Age of Middle Earth
RPG Plot: Set around the events of the second age such as the forging of the rings and Saurons corruption of Numenor. I will take control of the games NPC characters aswell as my character to keep the game flowing and to make sure that key events are noticed. I will also remind other characters of the date.
RPG Leader(s): Me and whoever I designate from the first interested members.

Ghyver was a soldier in the UNSC for 10 years until he was "KIA". Pressumed dead and left behind enemy lines by his squadron he blagged his way into becoming an assassin for the covenant.

The covenant engineers tended to his wounds and replaced his missing limbs and organs with forerunner scavenged technology making him more powerful and efficient than a regular human. He was stationed on a covenant controlled construction planet and told to kill any UNSC forces that came anywhere near his facility.

His life was relatively quiet and cushy until Aer's force arrived. The covenant, accusing him of traitoring their position turned on him.

Ghyver escaping just with his life and without his fabled sniper rifle he meets the sangheilli and Unggoy in the core room. Things were about to get ugly.
