Ordered build

[Skippy]

Hi again,
Is there any way how to detect when a unit has been ordered to build a building?
Thanks.

Boolean comparasion

• ((Target unit of issued order) is A structure) Equal to True

 

[Moridin]

Event:

Unit - A unit has been given an order targeting a unit

Condition

Current order Equal to Order(smart)
Current order Equal to Order(attack)
(Targeted unit is a structure) Equal to True

would that work?

@moridin: that wouldnt work at all because a units order cannot be "smart" and "attack" at once. (your condition uses 'and')

Simply, check if the units current order is the buildings "code". Make it build the building, and use a trigger to check the order. If it's something like Custom_A001, then that's the right code.

what hydrarancher said but without a 'A'. the prefix 'A' is for abilities, not units.

the order for building something is actually a string containing the units raw code (for custom units only!, standard wc3 units go a special code).
the order string looks like this:
"custom_" + Units raw code.

if you copy + paste a human farm in an empty map its raw code should be "h000", the 'h' is for human, it indicates that you simply copied a human unit and the 000 is just some index number. with newgen you can set the raw code yourself to whatever value you like when creating new units.
you can get the raw code by pressing ctrl + D in the object editor.

here is a simple trigger to check what order building a specific structure is:

• CheckPointOrder
  • Event
    • Unit - A unit is issued a point targeting order
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Game- Display to (All players) the text: (String((Issued order)))

Ok, thanks.
I mean: Is there an event that is executed immediately after ordering unit to build a building?
When I use A unit is issued a point targeting order, it doesn't start.

EDIT: Yes, it starts. I just displayed wrong message
Thanks for help

 

[Accname]

well, for me "A unit is issued a point targeting order" does start right the moment i issue the order to build something. are you sure your trigger is right?

 

[Moridin]

@moridin: that wouldnt work at all because a units order cannot be "smart" and "attack" at once. (your condition uses 'and')

I meant for it to be an or . My mistake when i was typing.

 

[Skippy]

Ok, now I can detect when a unit has been ordered, but how can I found where the unit is ordered to build it?

 

[Accname]

target point of issued order?

 

[Skippy]

Yes, of course Thanks
