Trigger Unit to Cast Custom ability?

[commandersnoopy]

Hi, I've been working on a map and I am having troubles with making a unit cast a custom ability. I want it to cast a custom spell, but it only gives me preset ones from other heroes. I've read the tutorial and i heard i must use order string of some sorts, but im not sure where to find it. I basically Unit-> Issue Order targeting a point and made it say Order-> [Last Created Unit] to Human Archmage-Blizzard to [ Target Point of ability being cast].

However, I want to change the Human Archmage Blizzard to my own custom spell. But when i click on it, it only gives me presets.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

Go to your custom ability and find the "Text - Order String - Turn on/Use" field.
Then, since it's a Target point ability, use:

• Set Point1 = (Target point of ability being cast)
• Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Triggering player) at Point1 facing Default building degrees
• Unit - Add Blizzard (dummy) to (Last created unit)
• Unit - Set level of Blizzard (dummy) for (Last created unit) to (Level of (Ability being cast))
• Custom script: call IssuePointOrderLoc (GetLastCreatedUnit(), "blizzard", udg_Point1)
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Point1)

Replace "blizzard" with your spell's "orderstring" (make sure the orderstring is placed within quotes).

if you based the ability on Blizzard, and have not edited the order strings, then its fine to use that GUI action for the default blizzard... it will use the custom blizzard if that's what the unit has...
