Order unit to use illusion?

[Erkki2]

I made an ability based on item illusion and i ran into this simple problem: how can i make unit to use this ability through triggers?

Well, first you'll have to make it a unit ability, and not item ability

I made a unit ability off of Staff of Preservation, and I couldn't figure out how to make make a unit use it by triggers either.

I don't think there is a way, but hopefully someone who knows more will correct me.

You can, it just requires custom script. Here is a link to what info I have so far. I do not know how to do the custom script but once I do, I will post it.

Here is a link towards a juxtapose spell . It requires Jass ; there is another one on the forums using GUI but it adds wand of illusion item to the hero and casta illusion .

Not sure what "Order unit to use illusion" means

Issit
If there is 2 unit, 1st unit a Hero and 2nd unit a dummy caster.
Then you want to make the dummy caster to cast illusion to the hero?
and the dummy caster is casting the illusion ability through the trigger.

If the my example was correct
I also figureout that there is no illusion ability in trigger Unit - Issue Order Targeting A Unit
So my solution is using the Wand of Illusion Item and put in Dummy caster inventory. And then use the trigger Hero - Use Item On A Unit

This is correct. Every order, from "move", to "attack" to "cast illusion ability from item" has an order integer (a 6 digit number). but for some stupid reason, not all order have a string (= a word) so "cast illusion ability from item" doesn't exist! but 852274 is totally the same.
