Item Button Clicked

[Dark-Zalor]

hello everyone,

I use for any of my spells that event:

call TriggerRegisterCommandEvent(T, SPELL_ID, SPELL_ORDER)

and this works, when I clicke on the button my trigger runs.

But is there an equivalent for item click button, because the event below does not trigger anything...

Thanks you for your future help.

That event should be "unit is issued an order targeting an object"

Custom script: set udg_Order = GetIssuedOrderId()

This does not work because I need to launch the trigger before you casts the spell. Just when you click on the icon and before you target an unit/location...

I didn't tried this, but if you are using the new versions you can use the frame events, and use the frames of the inventory (I think you already know what I'm refering, because I checked your projects).

I'm not familiar with that event and can't really find anything online. Can anyone elaborate? It seems, uhh, very useful if it does what it implies.

The trigger for an item would probably be the same, just using the item's activateable ability and the order associated with that ability. I'm not speaking from experience, though.

So no-one found a solution?

Nope.
The one suggested by HerlySQR is what I'd experiment with.
I have one other idea. That is having 1 "instant cast" ability, that you look for being cast to do you trigger (whatever it is), then remove from the item then add the "targeted cast" ability to it and "click" on it (or some how get up the target unit/location). It's messy, but maybe works...

You mean that if the spell was added by trigger to the item maybe it can trigger the event?

I mean first you check for "dummy (instant)", when that triggers, you have "clicked the item". Then you need to switch it to "actual ability (targeted)".
There are 3 potential problems with this:

1. cooldown might get messed up.
2. It might not be possible to swap actives on items. (delete one, add another one)
3. You need to get (targeted) ability in "targeting mode" via triggers.

Your solution is good.
I see other solution with a custom frame you can see when the icon is clicked

• problem to see cooldown
• you need to do the target and cast custom
