It disables the /icon/, so it performs what I need. But because of this, if a worker is issued an order to build something in the "Advanced" tab, then another worker is issued an order to build something in the "Basic" tab, the worker building something in the Advanced tab will not be able to build.

Maybe there's a work-around to this? Idk.


EDIT:

Alternative -

"Basically...The only way I can see this working is firstly removing the original order to build the structure, then issue the same order using the JASS function, which I think ignores the trigger to set the structure to unavailable...Right? I don't actually know. xD


I had another idea that once the build menu is exited (Figuring it someway to pick up on that, like the build order is issued would definitely do that. Or maybe a different unit is selected would be easier) then re-enable all the buildings. But that wouldn't work if someone is still in a build menu while the order from the opposite build menu is still being issued..."

Anything to even slightly push me along will be GREATLY appreciated.

I have no idea how to do that. Not one clue. xD

I'm /trying/ to figure this stuff out, though. So don't try calling me lazy!

Would this work?

JASS:
if ( not ( GetIssuedOrderIdBJ() == 851996 ) )
?

As a condition to figure out which order is going out.

(That ID is Orc Build. Right now, I'm just trying to figure out how to pick up on the build orders in general.)

JASS:
function Trig_Replace_Buildings_P1_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    if ( not ( GetIssuedOrderIdBJ() == 851996 ) ) then
        return false
    endif
    return true
endfunction

function Trig_Replace_Buildings_P1_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    call DisplayTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), "TRIGSTR_053" )
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Replace_Buildings_P1 takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Replace_Buildings_P1 = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_Replace_Buildings_P1, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_ISSUED_ORDER )
    call TriggerAddCondition( gg_trg_Replace_Buildings_P1, Condition( function Trig_Replace_Buildings_P1_Conditions ) )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Replace_Buildings_P1, function Trig_Replace_Buildings_P1_Actions )
endfunction

This doesn't seem to work, though. Am I using the wrong order?

Basically, I wanna pick up when the order goes out so I can fire the trigger off of it, remove that order, then add the new order that is exactly the same.
