[Solved] ordering targeted channel

[doom_sheep]

iirc only gui function is to order a nontarget channel. i'd need to use it because it can be used without showing up on the hero (right?)

so, script?

I didn't really get it; do you need to target a unit with channel?

• Set Caster = (Triggering unit)
• Set Target = (Your target)
• Custom script: call IssueTargetOrder (udg_Caster, "channel", udg_Target)

 

[doom_sheep]

my problem is that this is all GUI has to offer and it's not what i need (since it has no target), therefore i need to ask someone with JASS knowledge for the correct script.

• Unit - Order (unit) to Special - Channel

im pretty sure "channel" wouldn't work but correct me if im wrong.

If its Target type is set to "No target (instant)", it will work; if you want it to target a unit, use the trigger I mentioned above. If it is destined for ground targeting, use

• Set Point = (Your point)
• Set Caster = (Your unit)
• Custom script: call IssuePointOrderLoc (udg_Caster, "channel", udg_Point)
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Point)

The "channel" string is dependent on the Data - Base Order Id of the ability.

The "channel" string is dependent on the Data - Base Order Id of the ability.

then it is just "channel"? isnt it usually some derpy set of random letters and numbers?

Oh, you speak of IssueTargetOrderById, which requires an integer as a parameter, usually a number like 851971. The one I suggested also works; you would most likely use the "ById", when certain orders don't have a string representative, e.g. the "Wand of Illusions" ability.

i don't understand but i'll try it and come back with results.

Remove the "Custom script: " part.

oops

Edit: now it's expecting a name.

 

[Pharaoh_]

Use the "Edit" button.

Post the current trigger.

call IssuePointOrderLoc( udg_Caster, "channel", udg_Point )
call IssuePointOrderLoc (udg_Caster, "channel", udg_Point)

above one works. thanks.
