How To Order Unit To Cancel Construction ?

[ALiEN95]

Is it possible to order a unit to cancel construction ???

 

[supertoinkz]

yeah, i need it also :C

 

[Stelvio]

just use Unit - Order (your unit) to stop

 

[wurlaz]

• Unit - Kill (Constructing structure)

or

• Unit - Order Builder to Stop

 

[ALiEN95]

Check if your action works before you post it here

first of all...i thing its not so simple


ordering unit to stop does not work

and i think "builder" does not exist at all

killing a structure is not canceling

Stop order only work if you have a preset unit or variable.
"Builder" doesnt exist, i just picked a unit and renamed it.
What do you mean with canceling then?

 

[Stelvio]

I think he means that the building is still standing but its not being build or something
Btw stop would work , just select the unit u would like to stop

 

[ALiEN95]

just use Unit - Order (your unit) to stop

i mean-if you order the the structure that is in construction to stop it will not do anything

here is what i need to do.....

in some seconds of the game

some structure will be in construction

but i do not want it to be finished

now i want to cancel construction
(like when player selects the structure and presses ESC)

i want to order the structure that is on construction to cancel itself...

Try to see what order happens when you press it by yourself...

I think this should do the job:

• Define Order
  • 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
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String((Issued order)))

It should display the order that is given...

yes it should but its not showing anything when i cancel construction

You could just remove the structure being built and refund the gold/lumber (or not at all) using a variables (or if the crappy GUI has something to check for the gold/lumber cost you can use that also) to the owner of the triggering unit.

Try this action, after selecting the building being constructed.

• Game - Force (Owner of (Triggering unit)) to press Escape/Cancel

i said if it is possible to ORDER A UNIT to cancel construction

selecting the unit with player is not good

call IssueImmediateOrderById(GetTriggerUnit(), 851976)

To get the order IDs:

• Order
  • 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
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) for 30.00 seconds the text: (Order string: + (String((Issued order))))
    • Custom script: call DisplayTimedTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), 30, ( "Order Id: " + I2S(GetIssuedOrderId()) ) )

 

[ALiEN95]

call IssueImmediateOrderById(GetTriggerUnit(), 851976)

that is the correct order to order a unit to cancel
there is one problem
i need to use waits/timers if i want this trigger to work

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins construction
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • (wait or start timer and than do this action in trigger that has event of the expiring timer)
    • Custom script: call IssueImmediateOrderById(GetTriggerUnit(), 851976)
