[Trigger] Make a queue of Orders via Triggers

[Lestat(br)]

I wonder if there is a way to simulate the in-game SHIFT + CLICK in the trigger editor, I mean, queueing orders, starting one just when the other is fulfilled. I believe there is a keyword to be added to the order string but I honestly don't know, please help me.

Why dont you just make a series of triggers for each order you wnat a unit to do, and have the conditions/event be after the previous one is fullfilled.

For example: order a unit from Point A to Point B; after it reaches Point B make a trigger that order it to attack Point C or do something else.

I need to get the order queue right, like, I am doing a dungeon keeper map, and the imps should work alone, without commanding them. So, when a problem occurs, the imp should be ordered to go until the site of the problem and do his task, but after finishing its current task. It isn't a tower defense. If this was the problem I would already have it done.

you could do a trigger queue-trigger start after the last one has finished.

That is a good idea aki_ser, but since the imps are many, I cannot queue the triggers individually for each of them, and if I need to track each one it would last a century to do one trigger set to each imp, the quatity of ordered units would vary from 25 to 50 per player, so the trigger queue would only be able to order one after all have finished.
In addition, every dungeon inhabitant act by itself, so it would be very nice to have an order queue for them.
Anyway I appreciate your interest.

well...if you want all the imps to act individually then it would take you quite some time...
If your making an AOS then you could order everyone of the units created like this:

• Lalalalala
• Actions
  • For each integer (Loop A) from 1 to *number of creeps which should spawn* do (Actions)
    • Unit - Create ...
    • Unit - Issue an order targeting ...

This wouldn't work because they need to do a bit of everything, but I think i've got it. If it is possible to use the WEU Unit Custom String value to store substrings together with the order string and coordinates, and erase when done, and go to the next...maybe.

Are you at all familiar with Jass? I could explain to you exactly how it could be done with Jass, but it doesn't work in GUI, due to the limitations thereof.

 

[Lestat(br)]

Oh it is possible! I knew this feature was there in the game somewhere!
I'm not all familiar to JASS, but I can tell a code from another, and do some simple spells.
Please tell me how! I will do a thread about it in JASS discussion, and you explain me there ok? (if you can, of course)
Thank you so much.
