Issue Order Custom Spell

[InfinateAnswers]

What is the custom script that issues an order targeting a unit.

 

[Ignitedstar]

Um... IssueTargetOrder.

native IssueTargetOrder takes unit whichUnit, string order, widget targetWidget returns boolean

 

[Pharaoh_]

In case you wonder, widget is the target, be it unit, item or destructable.

 

[InfinateAnswers]

what dooes it look like custom script in GUI

 

[Maker]

• Custom script: call IssueTargetOrder(unit, "order", target)

In place of unit, use the unit you want.

Triggering unit: GetTriggerUnit()
Picked unit: GetEnumUnit()
Last created unit: bj_lastCreatedUnit

Or if it is avariable then type the variable name and add udg_ to the variable's name. Like udg_tempUnit

For the order, type the order you want. "attack" or "smart" or whatever you want.

 

[InfinateAnswers]

Yeah i remembered that much, and "order" is the order ID of the custom spell right?

also does GetKillingUnit() work?

 

[Pharaoh_]

Order ID refers to an integer, while "order" refers to string.
If you want to use ID (Edit menu -> Display values as Raw object Data), the function becomes IssueTargetOrderById(), where in the place of the order an integer is set, e.g. 852676, unlike IssueTargetOrder(), where you place a string, e.g. "attack".

If you want to check how each unit event response is translated in Jass, create a trigger with the action "Unit - Kill unit". Pick the unit type you want (E.g. Damage source) and convert the trigger to Custom script). There, you have the Jass counterpart.

 

[InfinateAnswers]

So how would i make it work? How do i issue order to use a custom spell.

 

[Pharaoh_]

Each spell has a raw id. You can use this program (contains most of the game's orders): http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=85864 to obtain the ID of the ability (we prefer the ID, because not every order in-game has a string representation, for example the ability Item Illusions), causing IssueTargetOrder() to sometimes fail.
Additionally, you can use this trigger:

• Tri
• 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
  • Custom script: call BJDebugMsg(I2S(GetIssuedOrderId()))

Then, say the ID is 852274.

• Set Target = (Target unit of ability being cast)
• Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Triggering player) at Point1 facing Default building facing degrees
• Custom script: call IssueTargetOrderById (GetLastCreatedUnit(), 852274, udg_Target)

If Maker corrects me for the "GetLastCreatedUnit()", I haven't tested yet, whether bj_lastCreatedUnit can still refer to a GUI-created unit.

 

[watermelon_1234]

There's also a good reference to find pretty much all the order ids here.

 

[InfinateAnswers]

so would this work?

• Custom script: call IssueTargetOrderById(bj_lastCreatedUnit,"852101",GetKillingUnit())

 

[watermelon_1234]

Don't put 852101 in quotes as that makes it a string.
Other than that it should work fine.

 

[InfinateAnswers]

it doesnt seem like this is working:

• Custom script: call IssueTargetOrderById(bj_lastCreatedUnit, 852101 ,GetKillingUnit())

 

[watermelon_1234]

Post the rest of the trigger (and a map if possible). By itself, it should work as long as bj_lastCreatedUnit can cast an ability based off of Bloodlust (or Channel with that order id) on the killing unit.

 

[InfinateAnswers]

well the base ability is blood lust.

• Fury
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Level of Fury for (Killing unit)) Greater than 0
  • Actions
    • Set Fury_Index = (Fury_Index + 1)
    • Set Fury_Point[Fury_Index] = (Position of (Killing unit))
    • Unit - Create 1 Fury Dummy for (Owner of (Killing unit)) at Fury_Point[Fury_Index] facing Default building facing degrees
    • Set Fury_Dummy[Fury_Index] = (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Hide (Last created unit)
    • Custom script: call IssueTargetOrderById((udg_Fury_Dummy[(udg_Fury_Index)]),852101,GetKillingUnit())
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Fury_Point[(udg_Fury_Index)])

and i changed the script using the variable and it still didnt work

 

[Maker]

I don't think hiding the unit is a very good idea.

 

[InfinateAnswers]

so just give it an empty model file so its invisible, and locust ability, so i dont have to hide?

 

[watermelon_1234]

Yes pretty much. Don't forget to give that dummy unit an expiration timer.

 

[InfinateAnswers]

dont worry about that =P i have another trigger that says when ability is cast, dummy ability, remove dummy unit =D

 

[Pharaoh_]

I don't meet any problems if I hide the unit; I usually do so, when I am bored of creating dummies and I create a default footman instead (which would require hiding). I remove its attack (call UnitRemoveAbility (dummy, 'Aatk')) and it's fine.

 

[InfinateAnswers]

i make dummy peasants instead lol, its just an habit but my dummy units are almost always peasants.

Nope it still doesnt work! this is laaame

 

[Pharaoh_]

Post the exact trigger. Don't use peasants for dummies, they tend to stay idle for some reason. Use a Footman.

 

[InfinateAnswers]

That is the exact trigger, and ill try the footmen thing..

i didnt work, this is the damage trigger that gives the unit its kills

• Swift Assault
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Ability being cast) Equal to Swift Assault
      • Then - Actions
        • Set SA_Index = (SA_Index + 1)
        • Set SA_Point[SA_Index] = (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast))
        • Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Target unit of ability being cast), dealing 100.00 damage of attack type Pierce and damage type Normal
        • Unit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to SA_Point[SA_Index]
        • Set SA_Index = (SA_Index - 1)
      • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_SA_Point[(udg_SA_Index)])

I know its not this because when i used melee attack, it still didnt work...

 

[Pharaoh_]

Why do you use index for this trigger? ;o

 

[InfinateAnswers]

i dont know....

 

[Pharaoh_]

By the way, I thought the problem was about issuing an order. Which part of that trigger didn't work?

 

[InfinateAnswers]

I dont know the problem, i kill a unit, and nothing happens. the order is never issued.

 

[Pharaoh_]

• Fury
• Events
  • Unit - A unit dies
• Conditions
  • (Level of Fury for (Killing unit)) Greater than 0
• Actions
  • Set Fury_Killer = (Killing unit)
  • Set Fury_Point = (Position of Fury_Killer)
  • Unit - Create 1 Fury Dummy for (Owner of Fury_Killer) at Fury_Point facing Default building facing degrees
  • Set Fury_Dummy = (Last created unit)
  • Unit - Add a 2.00 seconds generic expiration timer to Furry_Dummy
  • Custom script: call IssueTargetOrder (udg_Fury_Dummy, "bloodlust", udg_Fury_Killer)
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Fury_Point)

So this won't work?

 

[InfinateAnswers]

Nope that didnt work either.

 

[Pharaoh_]

Then your dummy has the problem or you forgot to change mana and stuff. Send me the map in private.
