Code: 
Unit - Peasant 0000 <gen> Is issued an order targeting an object
This is my event.

Then I want to use this native to issue an order.
JASS:
native GroupTargetOrder takes group whichGroup, string order, widget targetWidget returns boolean

I don't know how to use widgets though.
Can you make local widgets if so how? And what would I need to do to set it.

Widget is anything with life from unit to item, if it has life (hit points) it is considered as widget. You can use unit as widget but widget not as unit I think.
About native, it takes unit group first like last created unit group then order which is string for example "attack" and lastly widget. Widget could be for example unit, building, tree, destructible, item.

Say I wanted to issue the order to the unit group that set of the trigger. How would I make it target the correct thing (Destructible item or unit) ?

The types Unit, Item and Destructable are all derived from Widget, so if it asks for a widget you can pass in any of those.

For example try
call GroupTargetOrder(g, "attack", myunit)

where myunit is a unit variable.

Yes but I want to know if I can have on line of code.
Not do a seperate one for each.

You don't seem to get it...

Units, Items, and Destructibles are all widgets. For the widget argument, you can give it any of those. A unit, item, or destructible will all work when it wants a widget.

That is not what I want.

Say I have the event A unit is issued an order targeting an object.

I want to store the object.
But say I do:
Set Unit_Varible = Target unit of issued order


// What if the object was not a unit?

A few if's would do the job?

JASS:
if (the function for target unit of issued order) != null then
   set someunit = (target unit)
elseif (target destructible) != null then
   set somedestructible = (target destructible)
elseif (target item, if it exists) != null then
   set someitem = (target item)
endif


EDIT: damn, destructible is a hard word to spell right :p

I don't want the trigger wigdet. I want the target widget. :p

@Flare
That's what i'm using but it seems like it should be able to be done in one line of code.
ATM, i'm just setting 3 varibles and seeing which one is not equal to null.

EDIT:
Found it:
JASS:
constant native GetOrderTarget () returns widget

Hmm, I thought a widget was a female midget?

Sorry for the random off topic post, but it was soooo tempting.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
