no building sub menu?

[Tigrick]

hello everybody,

i'd like to make building buttons without sub menu; so the buttons like 'build tower' etc. would be right under the move/stop/hold... -orders just like as if it was an ordinary spell. i thought maybe i could use item abilities like 'build tiny caste' etc. but i don't like that idea cos then the buildings' lumber/gold cost won't show above the tooltip text. So I wonder are there any workarounds?

thanks in advance for any help...

AFAIK the only abilities that can incur a gold and lumber cost (also in the tooltip) are Charge Gold and Lumber, and Reveal (on the goblin lab)

metamorphosis, too, can show costs in tooltips if you modify it to require pay. However, it can be tricky to keep the unit from actually morphing.

i didn't know about the charge gold/lumber abilities which is strange cos actually i know object editor pretty well. I will search them & thanks! (sadly my warcraft 3 is not in english)

but how exactly would i use this dummy ability in a nice way so that a building can be placed once the dummy spell is clicked (everything should preferably work like in build sub menu just... well, without the sub menu)
