[Trigger] Custom orders?

[bondo67]

Soz if this has already been addressed but is it possible to make custom orders such as ordering unit to cast custom spell? If there is one, can someone show me how?

Custom spells are always an extension of an existing spell.

The order you use to cast a custom spell is usually the same as the order you use to cast its base spell. Thus any shockwave based custom spell will respond to the shockwave order (GUI makes it sound ability specific but it is not, it will work for all abilites that extend that ability (take the same order).

The expection is channel, which you can customize which order it uses.

Not all abilites have order strings, like the wand of illusion ability. In that case, you must use ability ID (a 32 bit integer) to order the ability to be cast. There are many other things that ability IDs can do which do not have order strings (like ordering the moving of items).

Note that order ID is only usable with JASS. Additionally order strings make more sense with JASS as they match up with the order string each ability has in the object editor.

abilityID --> orderId and these are usually around 852k.
