Take GetSpellAbilityId and convert to String Order?

[cleeezzz]

This is probably obvious but i cant seem to convert an ability ID into a string order. like if the raw id for shockwave is "A001" then a conversion of that id would return "shockwave"

I don't think that's possible ? :S
Wouldn't you need an array or something for it, and manually type in the stuff ? ...

GetObjectName('A000')

If you don't change the name of the ability, the string will change depends the wc3 language installed. (English,French,Spanish and so one)

This wouldn't work for many abilities.

You'd have to manually store each string into a hashtable, with the ability id as the key, so you could retrieve the string from the id.
This take a ridiculously long time to do, and may not be worth it.

Something like this should work for most default abilities.

function GetSpecialSpellOrder takes string order returns string 
    if (order == "stormbolt") then 
        set order = "thunderbolt" 
    endif 
    if (order == "siphonmana" and order == "lifedrain") then 
        set order = "drain" 
    endif 
    if (order == "holylight") then 
        set order = "holybolt" 
    endif 
    if (order == "aerialshackles") then 
        set order = "magicleash" 
    endif 
    if (order == "dispelmagic") then 
        set order = "dispel" 
    endif 
    if (order == "abolishmagic") then 
        set order = "autodispel" 
    endif 
    return order 
endfunction 

function GetSpellAbilityOrder takes integer abilId returns string
    local string order = StringCase(GetObjectName(abilId), false)
    local string out   = ""
    local integer ln   = StringLength(order)
    local integer i    = 0
    loop
        exitwhen i > ln
        if not (SubString(order, i, i + 1) == " " or SubString(order, i, i + 1) == "-") then
            set out = out + SubString(order, i, i + 1)
        endif
        set i = i + 1
    endloop
    return GetSpecialSpellOrder(out)
endfunction

Though, if you don't need it to be dynamic I would suggest poots object data extractor (once it supports abilities)

if (order == "siphonmana" and order == "lifedrain") then

Shouldn't it be [ljass]or[/ljass] there ? :S

 

[TriggerHappy]

Yes.
