Detect when a unit is ordered to build, not when the build starts

[LazyCoder]

Is there a way to detect when a unit is issued a build order (not just when construction begins)?

Hmm when I return home i'll check in the WE.

You can detect the orders with this trigger:

• ISSUE ORDER
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (String((Issued order))) above (Triggering unit) with Z offset 64.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
    • Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 100.00 towards 90.00 degrees
    • Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
    • Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 2.00 seconds
    • Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 1.70 seconds

Usually the order is kind of obvious, like "humanbarracks" or "blacksmith". ...targeting a point is the event that triggers when unitis ordered to build a building.

Ah cool. Thanks builder.

They are issued a position order equal to that of the structure type ID.

Basically the order ID is the same as the building type which will be built and this situation can only occur by units being order to build a building.
