Software I'm using:
Spigot 1.12.2
Skript (Bensku's Fork)
Skellett

What I am trying to achieve:
On my server I have an ingame book item which has some information. What I want is when they type in /help to the chat, the book shows up, but without putting the book into their inventory.
∑: Converting an already made book into a virtual book.

What I am trying to achive with code:
So basically instead of this:

Code (Skript):

1. command /help:
2.     trigger:
3.         set {_book} to a new book
4.         open book {_book} to player

I want to do this:

Code (Skript):

1. command /help:
2.     trigger:
3.         set {_book} to an already existing ingame book
4.         open book {_book} to player

I just do not know how to convert the ingame book into a variable that I can set {_book} to. And this is what I am looking for, a way to do this.

Have you tried searching the docs? Yes

Have you tried searching the forums? No Already yes

Other:
If possible I want to use only Skript and Skellett as I don't want to install more plugins on my server, I already have too many. If however I need to install another plugin in order to do this, suggest a plugin that is a Skript addon that is very useful and has many other features as well atleast.

If anyone is able to help, I would really apprichiate it.
Thanks!

 

How would I store the already existing book in a variable?

 

It's interesting. I've tryed the same thing yesterday as what you suggested, now it is working.

 

I made a new thread because I thought this was an error with Skellett.
But I won't next time. Thanks for both of your help!
