Issuing orders using order IDs

[WereElf]

Hidden Order Ids:

851971 (smart): This is a point or object targeted order that is like a right click.
852000 (skillmenu): This is an order with no target that opens the skill menu of heroes. If it is issued for a normal unit with triggers it will black out the command card for this unit, the command card will revert to normal after reselecting the unit.
851994 (buildmenu): This is an order with no target that opens up the build menu of a unit that can build structures.
852002 to 852007 (moveslot): These are item targeted orders that move the target item to a certain inventory slot of the ordered hero. The id 852002 will move it to slot 1, the id 852003 will move it to slot 2 and so on.
852008 to 852013 (useslot): These are orders that will make the ordered hero use the item in a certain inventory slot. If it's an order with no target or object or point targeted depends on the type of item. The id 852008 will use the item in slot 1, the id 852009 will use the item in slot 2 and so on.
851976 (cancel): This is an order with no target that is like a click on a cancel button. We used to be able to catch cancel clicks with this id back then but this id doesn't seem to work any more.
851973 (stunned): This order is issued to units that get stunned by a spell, for example War Stomp (AOws). This is probably a hold position + hold fire order. The ordered unit will be unable to move and attack.

When I saw this, I started wondering if this "skillmenu" can replace the "ward" classification (by ordering the unit to open the skillmenu when it's being selected), but I really have no idea how to order the unit to open skillmenu. I can't find this order in GUI and I couldn't find how to issue orders to units via custom scripts, using the orders' IDs (I couldn't find how to issue orders via orders' string either). Can anyone post a trigger how to issue an order to a unit via custom scripts?

call IssueImmediateOrderById(unit, 852000)

Those orders have no string equivalents.

Thanks
But somewhy it doesn't work as I expected... do I need to add anything else to this trigger?

• test
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) Selects a unit
  • Conditions
    • (Temp_Unit is selected by Player 1 (Red)) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Custom script: call IssueImmediateOrderById(udg_Temp_Unit, 852000)

So you can order units to be stunned? That seems really useful if true.

I tried ordering the unit 851973 (stunned) too, (the same way I showed), but it didn't work either. I suppose that either I'm doing something wrong, either it can't be done this way..

Where are you setting Temp_Unit?

 

[WereElf]

In the initialization.
I made a test map, just for this testing purpose.. Wanted to make sure it works before adding it to my map.
I added a message to all players when the trigger runs, and it does run, just the order isn't issued, or it doesn't work properly.

For some extra testing, try a different event such as Player 1 Skips a Cinematic (the ESC Key) or player types a chat message. The unit selection could be messing with the order. If that doesn't work, then try removing the condition altogether.

 

[WereElf]

I tried adding all kind of different events.
I removed all the conditions.
I Set Temp_Unit in the begining of this trigger.

Still doesn't work.

After 7 Years i found the Solution!

• Autocast Disable
  • Events
    • Game - Button for ability Schwarzer Pfeil (Test) and order Neutral Dark Ranger - Activate Black Arrow pressed.
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Wait 0.00 seconds
    • Set VariableSet OrderedUnit = Archer 0019 <gen>
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Name of OrderedUnit)
    • Custom script: call IssueImmediateOrderById(udg_OrderedUnit,852579)

it didnt worked for me either... and then i put a 0 second wait before and it worked...

If you Order a Unit After a Order for example an Autocast you Need a 0 second wait

WereElfs trigger works in the latest patch at least.

Timers are faster than 0.00 seconds waits, so something like this would deactivate black arrows smoother.

• Arrow 1
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
    • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(blackarrowon))
  • Actions
    • Set VariableSet ArrowUnit = (Triggering unit)
    • Countdown Timer - Start ArrowTimer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 0.00 seconds

• Arrow 2
  • Events
    • Time - ArrowTimer expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: call IssueImmediateOrderById(udg_ArrowUnit, 852579)

Issuing orders interrupts a units orders. If the order itself naturally doesnt interrupt orders then you can cause the unit to move on to its next order by temporarily disabling the ability. This way the remaining orders are still executed.

• Arrow 1
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
    • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(blackarrowon))
  • Actions
    • Set VariableSet ArrowPlayer = (Triggering player)
    • Player - Disable Black Arrow for ArrowPlayer
    • Countdown Timer - Start ArrowTimer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 0.00 seconds

• Arrow 2
  • Events
    • Time - ArrowTimer expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player - Enable Black Arrow for ArrowPlayer
