[Trigger] GUI Custom Script + Issue unit an order?

[T4COBELL]

I've researched this thoroughly and I haven't found an answer. The WE allows specific pre-determined commands to be used, but I want commands based on a variable.

• Follow
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is in Group_Follow) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Set temploc1 = (Target point of issued order)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Group_Follow and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set temploc2 = (temploc1 offset by Follw_Distance towards ((Facing of (Picked unit)) - 90.00) degrees)
        • Unit - Order (Load 1 of (Key (Picked unit)) in Hashtable_Follow) to Attack-Move To temploc2
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_temploc2)
        • Set temploc2 = (temploc1 offset by Follw_Distance towards ((Facing of (Picked unit)) + 90.00) degrees)
        • Unit - Order (Load 2 of (Key (Picked unit)) in Hashtable_Follow) to Attack-Move To temploc2
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_temploc2)
        • Set temploc2 = (temploc1 offset by Follw_Distance towards ((Facing of (Picked unit)) + 180.00) degrees)
        • Unit - Order (Load 3 of (Key (Picked unit)) in Hashtable_Follow) to Attack-Move To temploc2
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_temploc2)
        • Set temploc2 = (temploc1 offset by (Square root(((Power(Follw_Distance, 2.00)) + (Power(Follw_Distance, 2.00))))) towards ((Facing of (Picked unit)) - 135.00) degrees)
        • Unit - Order (Load 4 of (Key (Picked unit)) in Hashtable_Follow) to Attack-Move To temploc2
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_temploc2)
        • Set temploc2 = (temploc1 offset by (Square root(((Power(Follw_Distance, 2.00)) + (Power(Follw_Distance, 2.00))))) towards ((Facing of (Picked unit)) + 135.00) degrees)
        • Unit - Order (Load 5 of (Key (Picked unit)) in Hashtable_Follow) to Attack-Move To temploc2
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_temploc2)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_temploc1)

to Attack-Move To temploc2

The above needs to be a variable.

(I realize that not all commands use a location).

Well, you can't do anything better, unless you want to use a custom script:

• Custom script: call IssuePointOrderLoc (yourunit, "attack", udg_temploc2)

I still though don't get why do you need that.

Much thanks. Thats exactly what I needed.

What are the functions for objects and no target?

IssueImmediateOrder  (unit  whichUnit, string  order)
IssueTargetOrder  (unit  whichUnit, string  order, widget  targetWidget)

This trigger should issue duplicate orders to 5 other 'party members' from a 'party leader'. In the editor, there are no problems, but once in-game the party members will do nothing. Help?

Switch the type of the follow_order from "Order" to "String".
That custom script takes a string, and I am not sure if orders follow that rule (they should, but, just make a test to be sure).

O mai, theres my problem. Thanks so much. ^^

Well, you can't do anything better, unless you want to use a custom script:

• Custom script: call IssuePointOrderLoc (yourunit, "attack", udg_temploc2)

I still though don't get why do you need that.

how u know that ?

• Custom script: call IssuePointOrderLoc (yourunit, "attack", udg_temploc2)

where can i found some custom scripts ?

 

[M0RT]

All natives are written in blizzard.j and common.j files in the war3patch.mpq. There are no descriptions for what they do. Also you could use this site, however it's a bit outdated(link). That's basically those two files with HTML wrapup.
Also, when you create a trigger, you can use "Convert to custom text" function, to see which functions the acions get converted to.
