Detect harvesting workers

Hi,
I want wisps (or any other type of workers) to go lumber harvesting after they have finished a building.
Here's my trigger:
Buildings Finished

Events
Unit - A unit owned by Player 1 (Red) Finishes Construction
Conditions
Actions
Wait 0.01 seconds
Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 500.00 of (Position of (Triggering unit)) matching ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Wisp)) and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Game - Display to (All players) the text: Wisp picked
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
'IF'- Conditions
(Current order of (Picked unit)) Ungleich (Order(gather))
'THEN'-Actions
Game - Display to (All players) the text: Wisp doesnt gather
{ Send wisp to harvest lumber }
'ELSE'-Actions
Game - Display to (All players) the text: Wisp gathers something

What is is supposed to do is picking every wisp nearby (the range isnt fitting yet) and check whether it is harvesting something ( -> do nothing) or it just stand near the finished building ( -> send it to harvest).

My problem is the 'Current Order' line. When I use gather, like above, it returns: 'Wisp picked - Wisp gathers something' everytime.
When I use 'harvest' as orderstring, how the oderstring of the ability is called, it always returns 'Wisp doesnt gather' everytime.

If I left out the condition everytime a building is finished all wisps nearby would stop harvesting and go to the nearest tree (which is the old one again). This causes heavy interruptions, because wisps need some time to gather +5 lumber. ( I hope it is clear what i mean)

Gather is a wrong string, its just a name of the ability, not an order type. Try cast, cause when harvesting, all the unit does is to cast an ability

You could go building unit (I'm not sure if there's something like that in WE) to order Night Elf - Wisp Gather Lumber.

I found out what my mistake was... the order of the harvesting wisps is 'smart'. (dont ask me why)
But I simply can use the <empty string> as current order to detect the idle worker.

@PooBucket: Building unit refers to the building that is finished, not the worker who has finished it.

Thanks for the help

    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
