Order unit to cast custom spell

[CheesePizza]

I am trying to order a unit to cast a spell based on item town portal on a building. Through GUI I tried "order 'unit' to 'human - mass teleport' to 'unit' " and it didn't work. Next I converted the trigger to JASS and edited the spell.

call IssueTargetOrderBJ( gg_unit_Hblm_0183, "A002", gg_unit_h000_0054 )

A002 is the id of the custom spell. Still, nothing. Any help?

Item Town Portal is not Mass Teleport. Those are two different abilities. Try "townportal" as orderstring.

Custom abilities always use the 'order' ID of the base spell you based it off of.


call IssueTargetOrderBJ( gg_unit_Hblm_0183, "A002", gg_unit_h000_0054 )

In this case entering the ability code effectively tells the unit to Do Nothing since what you supplied was not a valid 'order' ID. Issue Order actions do not accept ability codes as valid input.

Most abilities' order IDs are documented in the editor, but abilities based off of Items are usually not (I would suggest trying what the previous poster suggested and if it doesn't work you're going to have to figure it out the hard way)
