[JASS] Is there a function that....

[Destroyer95]

Is there an event that runs when a unit begins counstruction that allows me to get the builder unit?

Thanks!

yes

• Construction
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins construction
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set unitArr[0] = (Constructing structure)
    • Set unitArr[1] = (Triggering unit)

 

[Destroyer95]

Tried it....it returns the came unit

That was in GUI but since the thread has a

 title.
 
native:[code=jass]call TriggerRegisterPlayerUnitEvent(trig, Player(index), whichEvent, null)

BJ:

function TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ takes trigger trig, playerunitevent whichEvent returns nothing

And the whichEvent will be EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_CONSTRUCT_START

Aww... and i though i was clever
kk, I'll experiment some with

• Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point

and then report my findings when I'm done.

Ooops... sorry, didn't notice :D JASS from now on, got it ;)

Try this

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins construction
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set structure = (Constructing structure)
    • Set constructor = (Ordered unit)
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String((Unit-type of structure)))
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String((Unit-type of constructor)))

@Starquizer: [ JASS ] remember?

Findings:

function Trig_Building_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local string u = UnitId2String(String2UnitIdBJ(OrderId2StringBJ(GetIssuedOrderIdBJ())))

    if u!=null then
        call DisplayTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), UnitId2StringBJ(GetUnitTypeId(GetTriggerUnit()))+" is building: "+u )
    else
        call DisplayTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), "other order" )
    endif
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Building takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Building = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_Building, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_ISSUED_POINT_ORDER )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Building, function Trig_Building_Actions )
endfunction

You should be able to find both building unit and unit being built using this

Thanks guys!

Try this

Untitled Trigger 001

Events

Unit - A unit Begins construction
Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point

Conditions
Actions

Set structure = (Constructing structure)
Set constructor = (Ordered unit)
Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String((Unit-type of structure)))
Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String((Unit-type of constructor)))

Since it was your idea....
Did I ever tell you that you're epic?? I mean you helped me with my missle system and now this! Thanks

You're welcome.

But don't forget to add a condition to check the issued order, but I don't know the build order string so that the trigger don't fire every time an order other than building is issued.

You're welcome.

My script checks if the order is a unit type, which usually means structure
Otherwise you would have to go through every structure the unit can build.
