Detect Footman Defend activate?/

The Human footman has a defend ability which protect it from piercing damage but slow down movement speed. My Qs. is how to detect the defend button or the ability begin use?

you will get a different icon when dfened is active. ALso the footie will have a different animation

to find out what each order you do is make a simple trigger

on event unit is issued an order

game - display (issued order)

if u make an order and nothing is displayed, most probably you wont be able to detect that order in the future


then later on if u want to check on an order

event
unit is issued an order
condition
(issued order) equals order(whatever name of the order is)

I can't remember if defend can be detected, its prolly 'defend' if it can (duh heheh)

Or anyone know the string value for order: "DEFEND" ?

i'm pretty sure the value is just "defend"

How could you be so sure?

well, first of all, PRETTY SURE isn't THAT sure... but its simple.. look, most commands are meant to be as simple & strait forward as can be so that ppl like you & i can figure them out alone.
i know that the "Devour" abilitys' string is "devour" for example.
so just try it on a test map, whats the biggy?

Well, one exception is hold command where string value="holdposition"
