[Trigger] Custom script to use an item ability

[doom_sheep]

Since you can't order a unit to cast item based abilites in GUI i need a custom script. The ability is based on dust of appearance.

 

[Pharaoh_]

• Hero - Order (Triggering unit) to use (Item carried by (Triggering unit) of type X)

It also works on normal units.

IIRC that was kinda buggy.

 

[Pharaoh_]

• Custom script: call UnitUseItemPoint (GetTriggerUnit(), GetItemOfTypeFromUnitBJ (GetTriggerUnit(), 'dust'), GetLocationX(udg_yourlocation), GetLocationY(udg_yourlocation))

 

[doom_sheep]

no seriously. i want the ability.

 

[Pharaoh_]

Oops, didn't catch that. Ok, use this:

• Custom script: call IssuePointOrderById (GetTriggerUnit(), 'dust', GetUnitX(udg_Unit), GetUnitY(udg_Unit))

You can replace the GetTriggerUnit() with the unit you want. If, for example the unit you want is a pre-placed one, use this:

• Set Unit = (your unit 000 <gen>)
• Custom script: call IssuePointOrderById (udg_Unit, 'dust', GetUnitX(udg_Unit), GetUnitY(udg_Unit))

dust isn't unit/ground targeted >_>

What's the matter with me?

• Custom script: call IssueImmediateOrderById (GetTriggerUnit(), 'dust')

 

[doom_sheep]

Line 120: expected '

• Custom script: call IssueImmediateOrderById (udg_TempUnit3(), 'dust')

what am i doing wrong?

edit: nvm. figured it out.

still doesnt seem to work though. is "dust" the right command?

 

[Pharaoh_]

• Custom script: call IssueImmediateOrderById (udg_TempUnit3, 'dust')

It should look like that.
The parenetheseis are used in event responses, e.g. GetTriggerUnit(). The variables don't follow the same rule.

i think you need the raw data name of dust.

Sorry for the delay and the wrong replies, I checked it myself and it didn't work. I don't know why I said 'dust', when its raw data is 'Altb'. Anyway, I tested Altb and it doesn't work either. I finally managed to find the solution (tested and 100% working):

• Custom script: call IssueImmediateOrderById (udg_TempUnit3, 852625)

works now, ty.
