Tool for converting unit id into order id

[Spellbound]

Okay, so the only way I can find out what the order id of a 'construct building A' is is to do call BJDebugMsg(I2S(GetIssuedOrderId())). That's fine and all, but it's annoying and time consuming. Basically, I need something to convert, for example, 'aray' into '1634886009'. I had found a website that could do that conversion, but it was a while back and I can't find it anymore. I don't know if the conversion is decimal, hexadecimal, or what have you. I'm bad at this.

Turn Item raw code into item ID

I recently stumbled upon this. I think you will find all the information there.

The raw code to ID conversion used by Warcraft 3 involves ASCII.
For example, A = 65, B = 66, a = 97, etc.

In order to convert it into the ID, the first character is the series is multiplied by 256^3, the second character is mulitplied by 256^2, the third by 256, and the last by 1.

So, let's say you've got a code of pghe:
p = 112
g = 103
h = 104
e = 101

Therefore, the ID will be:
(112 * 256^3) + (103 * 256^2) + (104 * 256^1) + (101 * 256^0)
=2091537900

I've attached a map as well so you can see how the triggers work.
The same is applied for adding/removing abilities, which is what the map was initially used for. I quickly changed a few things around so it creates items instead.

Oh, and it's GUI. :thup:

Huh. Well I definitely remember using a converter that would convert 'aray' directly into '1634886009', but that's still useful information. Still, if anyone finds the conveter in question, please link it here.

'aray' into '1634886009'

why do you need it, both are integers in a different representation form.

I'm trying to replicate something similar to the protoss warp-in mechanic from sc2. When the builder is ordered to build a structure, the game detects a point order. If that builder can't move/turn, the order is cancelled right then and there, but the order given is registered nevertheless. Depending on the order, I can tell a dummy builder to build something specific.

local integer IssuedOrder = GetIssuedOrderId()

if IssuedOrder == [I]1634886009[/I] then
    //Order dummy to build 'aray'.
elseif IssuedOrder == [order id] then
    //etc...

I've used this system before, so I know it works. I just need a convenient way to find the order id from the unit id. I guess it wouldn't be needed if I could there was a native that converts GetIssuedOrderId() back to it's 'aray' form.

if IssuedOrder == 'hbar' then
...
endif

like this?

I vaguely remember trying something like that and it not working... hmmm. I'll need to test this.

EDIT: WELL WHAT DO YOU KNOW IT WORKS.

Why didn't it work before I wasted so much time with this conversion thing *single tear*

Nice. ^^
