How to detect Peasant's Call to Arms?

[Ramza]

What doesn't work: ''Unit enters Playable map area'' (Militia), ''Unit starts the effect of an ability'', an Order Comparison (neither ''militia'' or ''militiaconvert'' works).

Try with the events a unit is issued an order (immediate, target, point).

 

[Ramza]

The problem is that the ''Unit is issued an order'' event is a specific unit event. But I need this for all Militia.

 

[jk2pach]

Ahem no. In my editor it works for all units (I use JNPG).

If it does not work, make a second trigger that detect the militia incoming in the map and add it to your second trigger as event (the second trigger displaying the given order).

 

[Ramza]

Yeah, it is in the Generic Unit Evens list. No idea how I missed that.

But there is still a problem. This trigger detects when Peasants are issued the ''Call to Arms'' order. I need it to detect when Peasants convert to Militia.

I have to recognize I do not know how the militia spell works (I never use it).

I guess its a morphing skill; then, your peasants are removed from the game and replaced by a new unit.
If they are replaced, you can detect when the unit leaves the game. Or when a militia enter the game (since it's an other unit ID).

Otherwise, maybe it works as a unit upgrade (there is an event for this). You can try then to detect the event a unit finishes upgrade blabla.

Last possibility: the building convert the peasant to militia, and not the peasants themselves. Then, you have to detect the order given to your building.

I tried the first one. It doesn't work, for some strange reason.

But I'll try out the other two.

Edit: Bah... Nothing. xO

For the Order Comparison I tried ''Militia'' (standard in object editor) and ''militiaconvert''. Neither works.

And the Building only converts if you use the building's Call to Arms. But then ALL Peasants in range would turn into Militias.

This is really annoying.

Some orders do not get a string name, only an integer number. Try to display those numbers instead of strings to check what spell is used.

Ah and check on wc3.net the Warcraft III Ability Guide and the W3 weird ability guide. Maybe it speaks about this spell, I do not remember and can not check this site from my current computer (work )

 

[Ramza]

Well, the string ''militia'' did work, kind of. Except that it recognized the moment they start the ability, not when they actually ''convert''. So I tried ''militiaconvert''. Still nothing.

But how do I display these ability integers then?

They don't talk about Call to Arms in either of those guides, by the way. x(

In short words:
Event: unit is issued an order (3 events: immediate, target, point)
Coundition: unit type = blabla
Action: call DisplayTextToPlayer(Player(0.),0.,0.,I2S( GetOrderId( GetIssuedOrder ) ) )
