Simple Order Issue

[plumsy460]

I'm trying to make a unit cast Scroll Of Protection as a unit-ability through triggers (order trigger).

I tried changing the order string to Channel since Scroll Of Protection is usually an item ability... but it's just not working for me.

How do I do this?

Does it cast a different spell instead?

Post your map.

 

[plumsy460]

It doesn't cast anything.

Well, how would you normally activate an item-ability using trigger order?

Is changing the Order String not enough?

I think it works the same way as order a unit ability.

I'm not sure anymore.

If you post your map (or a map demonstrating the same issue) I can try to make it work.

Allright. How do I post it? On this thread if possible.

Click the go advanced button below the new message area.

then click manage attachments down below. Find the map file and click upload.

Then click submit reply and your all done.

You cant change the order string of a spell unless its based of of Channel.
There was someone asking the same thing recently, I think setting the player as 'None' (or w/e it is) instead of User/Computer was how he fixed it. I guess its something with the built in AI.

What you have to do is make a trigger to display the order-id numbers of all orders issued to all units in the game. Then manually cast the spell with a unit and record the displayed number. Use this number to trigger the casting of the spell.

Sorry I'm late. Fell asleep ._.

Here's the map.

Could you show me? Just one example if it's not too much work.

Create the trigger below. Then you need to useIssueImmediateOrderByIdto force the unit you want to cast the Scroll of Protection spell. I am assuming that the spell has no targets (click icon and it casts).

• Catch Order
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: call BJDebugMsg("Issued Order: "+I2S(GetIssuedOrderId()))
