Refer to variable in Custom Script

[Doctor-Pepper]

Here is the problem
If i want to Issue order to a unit, you have to fill in Ability Command.
The problem is that i have 20 ability commands and i dont want to make 20+ functions to fill those in.
So i have created a variable AbilityComman[Array] of type Ability Command
Now, Blizzard was kind enough to NOT include the recognition to the variable "ability command". When i click the field "select ability command", the variable selection is empty!!!
Does anyone know how to write a custom script that refers to the variable "ability_command[tempInteger]"
Here is my trigger

• Events
  • Dialog - Any Dialog Item is Clicked by Player Any Player
• Local Variables
  • temp Integer = 0 <Integer>
• Conditions
• Actions
  • General - For each integer temp Integer from 1 to UI - Number of abilities with increment 1, do (Actions)
    • Actions
      • General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
        • If
          • (Used dialog item) == UI - Abilities Button[temp Integer]
        • Then
          • Unit - Order UI - Last Selected Unit[(Triggering player)] to (Ability Command) <------------------ *******HERE IS THE PROBLEM, CANT SELECT ANY VARIABLES***********
        • Else

My variable for the ability commands

UI - Abilities Command = No Ability Command <Ability Command[20]>
(i did try to change it to every possible value, array, type etc )

The problem is with ability command variables, that they can have different target types (point, unit, etc.) and you need the right one to select this variable for your order.
It will not work if you selected (All) in target type (see attachment).

For custom script, you would have to put "lv_" or "gv_" before the variable name, while gv stands for global variable and lv for local variable.
So, in custom script you would call your variable with "gv_ability_command[lv_tempInteger]", but not sure if this solves the target type problem.

It wouldn't.

Some abilities require a target point, while some require a target unit and others require no target. Additionally, some abilities cannot be used on certain units and the like.

I would say just group together abilities with similar arguments, :\

Yes, tnx creating different variables for different types now.
Is there a way to check what type "ability order" (target,unit, no target) is, with conditoins. Cant seem to find it

I guess the condition "Target Type for Order" is what you search for
