Unit casting custom spells with GUI

Now, I've been working with the GUI for a while because I've always been bad with JASS.

I have a question.

Is there a way for you to use the GUI to make a unit cast a spell that you've created on the object creator? I've only been able to see the built in spells being used. I couldn't choose it as a variable or anything like that.

Don't worry about being technical, just don't overwhelm me lol.

just get the unit/hero to cast the spell that your custom spell is made from

That was the original idea, but that is very limiting. I was wondering if there was a way to do from a spell that I didn't edit, just one I created myself.

Like right click create new spell. Use those kind.

All spells that you create are based on built-in spells. Like The_Elite said just select the base spell from the list. The spells on the list using "Issue Order ..." are rather order strings/ids than actual spells.

If that won't work (which should not be the case) you can still use one of these custom scripts. Replace unit with the unit you want to be ordered (something like udg_Unit or GetTriggerUnit() ).
Order is the order string that is listed in the ability editor.
Target can be everything targetable (destructable, unit or item).

Thx much for the custom scripts that was basically what I was after :)

Yeah... you really don't need JASS for this.

Say you created a spell based off of Storm Bolt and you called it "Laser Beam". If you want a unit to cast that spell you would do this:
You use the spell that your custom spell is based off of (or has the OrderId of if you based your spell on Channel and changed the base orderid).
