Spell Book Cancelling ?

[defskull]

How to detect the Event ?
I tried with detecting the Issued Order ID with this trigger;

• Untitled Trigger 002
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: if GetIssuedOrderId() == 851976 then
    • Custom script: call BJDebugMsg("Cancel")
    • Custom script: endif

But apparently, the trigger above just detect "Cancellation" from Upgrades, not by Spell Book cancelling.

Is there any other way ?

You want to detect what order a unit is issued?

Do you know a spell named "Spell Book" ?

 

[Elfansoer]

yes, I used it as one of my abilities...
(It's name: The Watery Spellbook")

When you open a Spell Book, you notice you can close it by pressing the "Cancel" icon, can you see it ?
I want an Event to detect when that icon is clicked, something occurs.

oH DEFSKULL that also what i problem. How about this if the player PRESS ESC. It will not trigger the cancel if clicked but you can detect when it press esc to close the spell book.

What if the player "presses" the Cancel icon ?

Maybe you know more, but can you detect when a unit opens her spellbook?
If yes, then
-set the "OpeningSpellbook" to true,

after that
- event: A unit press cancel
- cond: OpeningSpellbook is true
- act: --Just act what you want--

(If no, then for now I don't know, but no matter how hard it is, don't give up!)

You are doomed!

Ahhh waiting for more ideas...

well, as far as i know its impossible to detect if someone closes spellbook, building menu, hero ability menu etc.
you would have to trigger the whole thing (means using kind of a dummy unit instead of a spellbook)

EDIT: can you explain pls why exactly you want to detect when someone closes spellbook? maybe we can find another solution then

This can be done, but is extremely unhandy.
Basically, you do this:

1)Create a dummy spellbook with ONLY TWO SPELLS (and that is another dummy ability, based off berserk, most likely, plus the 'real' spellbook)

2)Make berserk based ability have a hotkey that is not used anywhere else (I use "P" since it is not used in my map anywhere else)

3)Make the real spellbook ability have a hotkey that is not used anywhere else (I use "L" since it is not used in my map anywhere else)

3) Force UI hotkey "P" and "L" 10 times a second.

4) When you open your first spellbook (dummy one), the spell based on berserk will fire as well as your real spellbook, so there you have 'open' detection.

5) When you close your spellbook via esc or the button, it will go back to the previous one, which means the berserk based ability gets activated again. This detects that the spellbook is closed, therefore, use a trigger that forces the player to press ESC when 'berserk' order string is executed by that unit. Notice that this trigger must be turned off while the spellbook is closed.
