What do these natives do?

Perusing the APIs on the wiki, I came across these:

JASS:
native IssueInstantPointOrder       takes unit whichUnit, string order, real x, real y, widget instantTargetWidget returns boolean
native IssueInstantPointOrderById   takes unit whichUnit, integer order, real x, real y, widget instantTargetWidget returns boolean
native IssueInstantTargetOrder      takes unit whichUnit, string order, widget targetWidget, widget instantTargetWidget returns boolean
native IssueInstantTargetOrderById  takes unit whichUnit, integer order, widget targetWidget, widget instantTargetWidget returns boolean


There's little-to-no info about them findable with Google.

Does anyone know anything about them?

The issue an instant order to a unit. The first two, an instant order targeting a point (e.g. move). The last two, a target (e.g. attack).

What makes them different from their non-instant counterparts (IssuePointOrder, IssuePointOrderById, IssueTargetOrder, IssueTargetOrderById), and what is the extra widget argument for?

Ok, might be a useless post, but...
This differs from the other "IssueOrder" natives, because it seems to also take a widget, but for what I don't know :S

native IssueInstantPointOrder takes unit whichUnit, string order, real x, real y, widget instantTargetWidget returns boolean

These natives have terribly confusing names, but I've heard that they are for manipulating items. I.e. Give this item (one widget argument) to this unit (another widget argument) or drop it at this point. I don't know which argument is the item and which is the target unit though.

I'm not sure why they are different from the UnitDropItemPoint and UnitDropItemTarget though.

Edit: A quick search reveals more info:

Yep, they are used to order units to do something with items. At least that IssueInstantTargetOrder is used to order unit to give item to some other unit.

I think these functions also have something to do with training units like in Barracks, etc. Not sure though.

Confusing. I suppose I shall ignore them, then. :p

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    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

    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
