Custom Orders

[Blazing_Legion]

how can you order a unit to cast a custom spell that is not based off any of the ones on the order units to actions lists i need this for an ability based off scroll of protection so if there is anything specific for this spell please let me know. thanks.

I think you have to it with custom script. No idea how, though.

 

[Blazing_Legion]

I thought so to but i assume you need that ha00 kind of name and i have no idea how to find that

It is usually an item ability, like this one

call IssueTargetOrderById(udg_Dummy, 852274, udg_Caster)

That is to order a unit use that ability of Wand of Illusion-based ability
The '852274' is the Item Ability Code to order it via trigger

I'm sure there are lists of the item code somewhere around Google

You can identify them yourself by having an order event and printing the GetIssuedOrderId() (event response).

call BJDebugMsg(I2S(GetIssuedOrderId()))

thanks to both of you i tried using this to get the spells id but it only came up with 0 every time so call BJDebugMsg(I2S(GetIssuedOrderId()))

so i used this instead
call BJDebugMsg(I2S(GetSpellAbilityId()))

then that gave me this for the spell Id 1093677135
so i used this to try cast it but it didnt work
call IssueImmediateOrderById( GetLastCreatedUnit(), 1093677135 )

can someone please help me

You have the false event then. It should be an order event, not a casting event. Ability id is not order id.

call BJDebugMsg(I2S(GetSpellAbilityId()))

Use this call BJDebugMsg(I2S(GetIssuedOrderId())) to catch the Order ID of an ability (not Ability ID) instead of GetSpellAbilityId (because if you do so, you will have its ABILITY ID whereas you want the ORDER to execute the ability)

call IssueImmediateOrderById( GetLastCreatedUnit(), 1093677135 )

It's supposed ti be call IssueTargetOrderById(dummy, OrderID, target) instead of IssueImmediateOrderById

It's supposed ti be call IssueTargetOrderById(dummy, OrderID, target) instead of IssueImmediateOrderById

No, this depends on the ability's target type. The above mentioned Scroll of Protection would be immediate.
