Issue Order Not listed in the Preset Orders?

[aple]

Basically, this order: "851994" according to this http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=81742

Is the order it sends to workers to go into the build menu.

How can I issue this order to a unit?

Would it be using IssueImmediateOrder or IssueImmediateOrderById and if so how?

 

[Meticulous]

If it's an integer it's ById. The regular IssueOrder deals with strings like 'move', 'stop', 'attack', 'acidbomb', etc. - and as far as I'm aware most uncommon orders don't have a "GUI-friendly" name like that (hence you need to order by ID).

So then something like this? It gives me an error, so I obviously have an issue somewhere. "Invalid Number of Arguments"

• Custom script: call IssueTargetOrderById(GetTriggerUnit(), 851994)

 

[Meticulous]

IssueImmediateOrderById, not IssueTargetOrderById. Target orders, as one might expect, require a target.

 

[aple]

IssueImmediateOrderById, not IssueTargetOrderById. Target orders, as one might expect, require a target.

This is why I can't be a programmer.

EDIT: Okay so. There is one last thing I need to make this system actually be good, now.

How to make it MUI Compatible...

In case anyone can help me.

Reason why it's MUI incompatible should be obvious. The tech being disabled will stop other units that already have the order.

Is there another way, probably via JASS, to not show the buttons and not allow them to be clicked?

Use Chaos to transform the unit into an identical unit with a different build menu.

Use Chaos to transform the unit into an identical unit with a different build menu.

That'd be pure..."Chaos." Hyuk hyuk hyuk

It's gotta be the same unit, honestly.

Basically...The only way I can see this working is firstly removing the original order to build the structure, then issue the same order using the JASS function, which I think ignores the trigger to set the structure to unavailable...Right? I don't actually know. xD

I had another idea that once the build menu is exited (Figuring it someway to pick up on that, like the build order is issued would definitely do that. Or maybe a different unit is selected would be easier) then re-enable all the buildings. But that wouldn't work if someone is still in a build menu while the order from the opposite build menu is still being issued...

I posted a request in the JASS section, maybe someone there can help me figure it out. xD

Why would transforming the unit not work?

 

[aple]

Why would transforming the unit not work?

Because now we've got two separate units. If you have multiple workers selected, that one worker will be singled out. I'd have to do the same thing - checking if the unit has exited the build menu by seeing when the unit is issued an order - to swap it back, but then the order would be lost.

It provides an array of new issues that I have to figure out how to work around which just doesn't appeal to me since I am extremely close to fixing it in the first place.

Ah, I see your point. For once I'm completely stumped.
