[General] Detect build order event

[loktar]

I've searched but I couldn't find any examples or solutions.

I want to detect when a player clicks the Build button.

This test trigger works for every order except the Build buton. I have no idea why it isn't working ;(

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
  • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
• Conditions
  • Multiple ConditionsOr - Any (Conditions) are true
    • Conditions
      • (Unit-type of (Ordered unit)) Equal to (==) Peasant (Advanced)
      • (Unit-type of (Casting unit)) Equal to (==) Peasant (Advanced)
• Actions
  • Quest - Display to (All players) the Quest Update message: zadada

thanks

Use this trigger to find out what the order id of the build event is

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: call BJDebugMsg(I2S(GetIssuedOrderId()))

Then do something like this to check

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- set integer variable to the order id --------
    • Set integer = 81029
    • Custom script: if (GetIssuedOrderId() == udg_integer) then
    • -------- actions go in here --------
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: Build order detected
    • Custom script: endif

EDIT You can find a list of order id's here.

Thanks, I tried it:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
• Actions
  • Custom script: if (GetIssuedOrderId() == 851995) then
  • Quest - Display to (All players) the Quest Update message: zadada
  • Custom script: endif

Still no go. It won't even work without any conditions at all.

Edit:

• Events
  • Game - The 'Build Structure' button is clicked

This does the trick, but I'm not sure if it's a good solution. I'd still need to know which unit's build button is pushed.

Triggering Unit doesn't work?

Nope, I have to check which unit is selected. Very ugly solution.

It seems that it's not possible, I guess it isn't technically an ability or an order.


Removing the build ability also doesn't seem to work. I guess I'll just have to hide it.
