[JASS] Can someone help me with a custom script?

[DoOs_101]

I'm wondering if there is such that would order a unit to cast an ability with the spells ID code. You know those spell codes like bfg5...

 

[paskovich]

They are called the ability's raw codes, and usually begin with an 'A', and are capitalized, as they are integers (hexadecimal numbers).
But to anwser your question, no, there isn't such a function... Units can only be ordered to cast a spell with the ability's command string (like "thunderclap", "thunderbolt", "cripple", etc...)

call IssueImmediateOrder()
call IssueTargetOrder()
call IssuePointOrder()

... And as far as I tried it, this will not work, too, if it is a custom string.

Does it work on WE unlimited? i mean casting off the custom spells?

i think your confusing something. what paskovich said works. As long as the unit, say a dummy caster, has custom spell u want to cast, u can use the base order string of that custom ability be it "thunderclap" or w/e to cast that custom spell.

It doesnt matter that custom ability's order string says "thunderclap". the unit wont cast the ladder wc3 thunderclap as long as it doesnt have that basic wc3 ability. If you add a custom ability with the base ability of thunderclap to the unit and order it, it will fire the custom ability.
(which leads to the reason why u cant have two spells based off of the same ability on a single unit cuz it doesnt know which of the two u r casting)
