[JASS] Get player who issued order?

[Molekylee]

Hey guys.

I have a neutral passive unit which any player can click on and use its abilities (by using shop sharing).
Is there a way to detect the player who issues the ability order?

Thanks

If Triggering Player doesn’t work you could check which players have the shop selected when it’s ordered. That wouldn’t be conclusive if multiple people have it selected.

It might be possible to give multiple copies of the abilities to the unit and disable all but one of set of them on the UI locally for each player. Then you just check which ability was actually cast. This would totally fuck up cooldowns, though.

Thanks Pyro. With your help I managed to find a solution

Does triggering player work or did you go for something more arcane?

GetTriggeringPlayer does not work. Here's how I solved it: Whenever a player selects the neutral unit, a tiny copy of the unit is created on top of it, and the triggering player is immediately forced to select this dummy unit. The dummy unit is given a reference to the triggering player. Not the most elegant solution I suppose, but it works.
