[Trigger] how to make when a player clicks "G" or something as a event

[HamzahA]

i'd like to know how the people make that when a player presses a button (like H or U) some actions happen! in GUI i saw only directions, esc buttons... how to use others?

i belive this is possible in JASS, but you would have to make a sertain system if you would want it in GUI

possibly a "Several Channel Abilities with No Target System"?

 

[paskovich]

No, it's not possible in jass, but you're right about the Channel ability.
Uncheck the option "Visible" (so its icon will not appear), make it an instant cast ability, and set 'G' as hotkey. You can detect when the player presses G by detecting when the hero casts the appropriate spell.
Note that a hero can only have 5 abilities.

as i said, i "belived" that it was possible, but now i know thank you

a hero can only have 5 Learnable Abilities, but he can have as many as possible as long as they are invisible

> he can have as many as possible as long as they are invisible
No, he can't start with more than 5 hero abilities regardless of what they are.
But there is no limit (in theory) to the number of abilities you can add using triggers.

which i was refering too

 

[SFilip]

Indeed, and you were right except for the "as long as they are invisible" part.

It can only have 5 hero abilities, and infinite unit abilities.

That's about what it comes down to.

 

[HamzahA]

hmmm i was just thinking about that if its possible without selecting any unit..

I've actually tried using Hotkeys for non-visible Channel abilities...
They never worked for me for some reason.

well, the only thing you could do, i think, is have a dummy unit that is selected for the player (Select "dummy unit" for player 1) that has no movement or attack, but with those abilities like above that can fill in the whole 4 by 4 square or w/e in the right that isnt visable so it looks like you dont have selection.

 

[HamzahA]

i need more than 4 x 4 abilitys!!! and i cant use dummy unit, because i need basic unit. what should i do?

 

[hashfi_cool]

no,it use normal gui with region,

Well, truthfully they can only have 5 Hero abilities but you can increase that number to much more using spell books and triggers(you can have categorized abilities, fire, ice , etc.. using spell books and still have them learn able).
