A way to issuse an order of a custom ablity

I made custom ablity in the world editor and i gave it the turn on/use string NEWAB

in jass i used
call IssueImmediateOrderBJ( gg_unit_Hpal_0000, "NEWAB" )
and nothing happened is there antor way to do this?

I have even tryed other strings to trun it on such as "stop" any clue how i can get this working?

The order string you set in the ability editor has no effect at all. I'm not even sure why it's there.

To order a unit to use a custom ability, order it to use the ability that the custom ability is based on.

thanks alot.

You can also issue the order by id and give the 4-letter-code of your new ability.

this is actually a rather interesting question.

i'm rather confused as to how u created an ability with a custom string. was there a new editor released to do this? cuz i know the original just lets u choose from pre-set ability strings, and not type in a new one.

i have however changed the "turn on" string in object editor and, i believe, checked the ability using that string. so it would look like this. i assigned the stop string to warstomp. so now everytime i issued warstomp, the comp would execute ne actions i placed under there. i have not used the string order in the issue order action, as u were trying to do.
