[Spell] How to select the ablity using triggers?

[WaerercraftKillers]

The title says it all, oh and make it sure that is GUI

The title doesn't say it all.
Triggers are just a way of doing things, so what do you actually want to achieve?

 

[WaerercraftKillers]

As it says it will automactitcly select the ablity then leaves the player to target.

For example.
A airstrike ablity from a dialog is selected
you could target the airstrike by selecting in to a point without selecting it manually.

Oh, that can not be done very well. The closest way is forcing a keyboard hotkey.
Otherwise you can also order the unit to cast it immediately, but this is probably not what you want.

Another way is catching the "Unit is issued an order targeting a point" event and then acting as if it was an ability cast (only with triggered spells).

So whats the trigger aside from a hotkey?

 

[Xonok]

Something like this

• Hotkey
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic sequence
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Game - Force Player 1 (Red) to press the key A

The exact implementation depends on your map. You might have to check if the right unit is selected, otherwise who knows what that hotkey does.
