Custom Script ability-related problems

[Meowier]

I'm still having problems with custom scripts involving the use of abilities, I have a trigger that basically creates an illusion of everything in a target area of effect.

The spell in question is 'Item illusion', which has been converted to a unit ability, etc, etc.

Here is the custom script code

Custom script:   call IssueTargetOrder(GetLastCreatedUnit(),"852274",GetWUnit())

and what exactly is the problem?

does the trigger have no effect? they go to wrong place?

also

Custom script:   call IssueTargetOrder(GetLastCreatedUnit(),"852274",[B]GetWUnit[/B]()

GetWUnit?

 

[Meowier]

Ah, I forgot about explaining that.

The problem is that World Editor does not like the code, which would probably mean the script doesn't work.

Something is wrong with it, and I know very little about custom scripting.

I would suspect that the problem with it is the names, WUnit and GetLastCreatedUnit

Is a custom script even needed here ?

 

[saw792]

IssueTargetOrder() takes a string order, not an order ID inside a string. Things like "move" "attack" "shockwave" etc are acceptable. Also, GetWUnit() does not exist.

If WUnit is your GUI unit variable name then it must be used as udg_WUnit (with no brackets at the end). Brackets are only used for functions.

 

[Meowier]

Yes, a custom script is needed. In actions - units - order unit to ---- on unit, there is no 'item illusion'.

I've changed the variable bit to what you suggested, but what should I be changing IssueTargetOrder too?

What about LastCreatedUnit, is that correct?

 

[WolfieeifloW]

I beleive "IssueTargetOrderById" maybe?

function GetLastCreatedUnit takes nothing returns unit
    return bj_lastCreatedUnit
endfunction

Use "GetLastCreatedUnit()".

 

[saw792]

No, GetLastCreatedUnit() was correct. Replace it with bj_lastCreatedUnit though, it's faster. Don't add brackets, it isn't a function.

call IssueTargetOrderById(bj_lastCreatedUnit, 852274, udg_WUnit)

 

[Meowier]

Custom script:   call IssueTargetOrderById(GetLastCreatedUnit()","852274",udg_WUnit

I've been doing what you've said, but it's saying

Line 237 Expected '

 

[Meowier]

Alright. What saw just said worked, i'm going to go test the ability and see if I need any further help.

Thank you!

 

[WolfieeifloW]

call IssueTargetOrderById(bj_lastCreatedUnit, 852274, udg_WUnit)

This only works if WUnit is a unit declared by variables.

EDIT: Also, don't double post !

 

[Meowier]

Sorry.

Thanks a lot, it's all working.

Glad we could help.
Good luck with your map!
