[General] Detecting autocasting abilities

[micca]

Is somehow possible to detect whether a unit has an ability set to autocast?

Or maybe to detect which projectiles a unit uses to shoot?

I do not think it is possible

You would have to detect it by catching the orders.

No way to detect what projectile a unit uses.

You can order the unit to activate/deactivate autocast. The function will return whether it is succesful or not.
If you have autocasting enabled, the order to enable it will fail. If you have it deactivated, the order to disable it will fail.
Using this method you can detect, whether autocast is active or not. You will have to revert the autocast, if your order changed it.

Detecting orders is not safe, because orders can be issued while the unit is paused (e.g. stunned) but won't be executed if you issue another order before the pause effect runs out.
