For example 851983 should also print "attack", and 'hbar' should also print "Barracks"

Is there a function to convert the unit id into the raw-code? I only get the integer value of the unit type.
(I know you could write one, but I doubt that belongs to mission 1)

You could use GetObjectName to print the name of the unit based on it's unitid. But yes, there's a resource here (maybe Ascii) that allows conversion of integer rawcode to string.

I never heard of that function. Thanks for showing it to me. It even works with upgrades.

Using GetObjectName and if it returns "Default String" using OrderId2String instead will probably have the best results.

I guess it was just written 'hbar' in the mission description instead of the integer, because it's shorter.

Indeed, the object name function was meant to be used and

Using GetObjectName and if it returns "Default String" using OrderId2String instead will probably have the best results.

... is a good thought!

Spoiler: updated code

scope OrderTracking initializer Init

    private function Actions takes nothing returns nothing
        local unit u  = GetTriggerUnit()
        local integer o = GetIssuedOrderId()
        local string s = GetObjectName(o)
        if(s=="Default string") then
            set s = GetUnitName(u) + ": " + I2S(o)+" -> "+OrderId2String(o)
        else
            set s = GetUnitName(u) + ": " + I2S(o)+" -> "+s
        endif
        call DisplayTextToPlayer(GetLocalPlayer(), 0, 0,s)
        set u = null
        set s = null
    endfunction

        local trigger trg = CreateTrigger()
        call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ(trg, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_ISSUED_ORDER)
        call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ(trg, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_ISSUED_POINT_ORDER)
        call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ(trg, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_ISSUED_TARGET_ORDER)
        call TriggerAddAction(trg, function Actions)
        set trg = null
    endfunction
   
endscope

Seems to work fine now. Even learning skills has an object name.
Some orders have no name at all though. For example using items or swapping items in the inventory.

I am kind of confused, that I seem to be unable to detect certain orders.
The orders are: placing an item on the ground and selling an item.

I moved the posts into a new thread, because I plan do track all solved missions by all users.

Thanks, I will make new threads when I submit future missions.

I can't test right now, but your code looks good to me. I belive you can see it as completed; if not I would post again!

 

[Jampion]

Well it's not hard, if you know the GetObjectName function.

 

[IcemanBo]

Yo, not so hard, but I believe it's very important, and so many users seemingly don't know such things help much.
