force unit to cast

[sinjako]

how do i force a unit to cast one of its certain magics?

 

[Airandius]

Something like this:

• Force Casting
  • Events
    • <Your Event>
  • Conditions
    • <Your Condition>
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order <Your Unit> to <The Spell You Want Him To Cast> <Your Target>
    • -------- This action is: Unit - Issue Order Targeting A Unit --------
    • -------- You can use others like: Unit - Issue Order Targeting A Point --------

Just select the spell you want it to cast.

i want it to cast a custom spell, and thats not an option when i do either of those.

 

[Airandius]

Uhm, in that case I always create or ask for a custom ability (it will be using triggers).
What do you want your ability to do?

im making a huge flame strike which will create locust type tauren chieftains on the periferi
of the circle. they will then rush in to the mid all the while warstomping :=:

I'm not good enough to create such a spell sorry. =( Perhaps you could ask somebody to make it in the request forum.

i think you need use dummy for this

@Up
Locust unit = dummy (well, mostly)

When you create a new spell, you have to base it off on an existing ability. Now, to order a unit to cast your custom spell, you have to order it to use the spell you used when creating the spell.

Order it to cast the spell which the custom one was based on. As it was based on that spell it uses that order to cast. Note it will bug if you use the same base ability multiple times with most spells, the same as if you manually cast one.

If you use JASS integer ID ordering, you can get a unit to cast more different abilities than in GUI.

That was learning thanks. i think i got it now but not the moving TC part

I'm having a similar obstacle, yet I want a structure/tower to automatically use a random ability when it attacks. I've pre-made the abilities and such with triggers.
