What does the base order ID data do for the channel spell. Isnt it the same thing as the Use/Turn on order string? Also, is it possible to create new order strings. Anyways any and all help will be appreciated

The Base Order ID is so that you can have multiple skills based off channel on the same unit. Just change the Base Order IDs. I am not sure what exactly Use/Turn On is for, since the Base Order ID is what is used in passed orders (I think.)

It is not possible to create new order strings.

Umm, do u know if there are any actions that order a unit to use a custom ability, not the order code but the ability itself. Anyways, if u can, i will once again apreciate the help

Order the unit to use the ability your custom ability was based off of.

If you're using channel order the unit to use the ability that uses the custom Base Order ID.

For instance, if your channel's Base Order ID is charm, then order the unit to use Charm.

Well, it's located in unit abilities. If your in the object editor, you would have to select Abilites, not default active. If you don't have the latest patch, 1.13, then Locust would be called Unknown(aloc).
