Function called: "Unit finishes an order"?

[deama]

Is there a condition/event function called "Unit finishes an order"? Or similar?

 

[Chaosy]

no. only when the order starts. however orders are instant anyway

Umm... do you know how to make it so that a unit dies when he finishes an order? E.g. finishes walking to a random place?

Basically what you are asking is that:

1. All orders must be stored when they are given.
2. When the order of a unit changes, then detect it and still keep the previous order stored somewhere(temporarily)

I have somewhat done the first part(only stores orders; doesn't check when the order is finished)

 

[Chaosy]

well if we only talk about the move order its easy.

1. create a empty trigger and add the action kill triggering unit no event.
2. create another trigger with the event unit is issued tatgeting a point and the action trigger add unit comes with in range of point of issued order.

and dont forget to fix leaks

PS: Is there a function that detects whether a unit has stopped? As in, stopped moving?

 

[Chaosy]

yes. check if current order equal to stop. its called order comparsion I belive

There are events for gaining an order +event responses as well as a function to get a unit's current order.

So on gain event, save the issued order, then periodically check if the unit's order is reset, reset the saved order too. Furthermore, the gain event can also be the point in time a previous order is overwritten, therefore check the previously saved order. Exceptions are instant parallel orders like learning an ability since those do not cancel anything.

If a unit does absolutely nothing, but stands still, it's order is most likely (null)

 

[WaterKnight]

When a unit automatically acquires a target to attack, it does not have an order either.

Oh... ok, thanks.

Thanks for your help guys.

EDIT: When I try the order comparison in the condition category, I pick the "Convert order to string" and I put in the string "null", but when the unit stops doing anything (just stands there) he doesn't die!
Fixed.
