detect when unit wants to drop item OR give item to unit

[ALiEN95]

i tried using event - unit is issued targeting a point/object but nothing happens
-this thread now includes detection of some other events too xD

I don`t know if there is any easy way but you can save the handle of unit on item and then with

• Unit - A unit Acquires an item

check if the handle saved in hashtable on the item is same like the handle of unit that got the item.

• Unit - A unit loses an item

the problem is that i would like to detect it when unit is ordered to give item to another unit or to drop item to location

i think the only solution would be a special event,maybe if JASS has it...

here are some other events that i cant find too
i saw that there is a fast select unit event in this map

and i also can´t find how to detect when "computer" is ordering unit to do something

like when shop is ordered to select a hero,is it impossible to detect???

I'm afraid you can't detect that. I tried retrieving the orders for each ocassion and I got no results.

For the shop sharing, it is automatical, so again, you can't detect that. You need to manually select a hero and then you can have it, but I guess that would make no sense.
Try this:

• Trigger
• Events
  • Time - Every 0.5 seconds of game-time
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units of type Shop) and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Custom script: if GetUnitCurrentOrder(GetEnumUnit()) == 852566 then
      • -------- Action here --------
      • Custom script: endif

Didn't test it though; and yes, periodic event would seem like the only solution to get this detected.
