Making a Unit cast an ability

TEC_Ghost	Am I just an idiot (Probably the problem) or can you not make units cast custom abilities? JASS: call IssueImmediateOrderBJ( gg_unit_hfoo_0000, "A000" ) Sounds about right...but Noooooo doesn't work. Any knowledge on this one?

Pyrogasm	You must order it to cast the ability the new ability is based on. So if you created a new spell based off of Thunder Clap, you'd do this: call IssueImmediateOrder(gg_unit_hfoo_0000, "thunderclap").

Its not the ability its the order string to use it and its the field: Text - Order String - Use/Turn On. then you got these fellas:

JASS:

native IssueTargetOrder takes unit whichUnit, string order, widget targetWidget returns boolean
native IssuePointOrder takes unit whichUnit, string order, real x, real y returns boolean
native IssueNeutralImmediateOrder takes player forWhichPlayer, unit neutralStructure, string unitToBuild returns boolean
native IssueNeutralTargetOrder takes player forWhichPlayer,unit neutralStructure, string unitToBuild, widget target returns boolean
native IssueBuildOrder takes unit whichPeon, string unitToBuild, real x, real y returns boolean
native IssueInstantPointOrder takes unit whichUnit, string order, real x, real y, widget instantTargetWidget returns boolean
native IssueInstantTargetOrder takes unit whichUnit, string order, widget targetWidget, widget instantTargetWidget returns boolean

I think thats it unless you count the BJ specifics. There are id ones as well when you use an order id instead of an order string
