a few questions

[m4st4]

hi

1) is unittype a handle that leaks? i guess yes
2) using CSCache engine, when many players may use the same spell, do i have to attach variables with to handles using a player dependent string?

e.g. Is this ok AttachInt(t,"label",someInt) or do i have to use something like AttachInt(t,"label"+I2S(PlayerId),someInt) to avoid GCache conflicts when several players use the same spell at the same time?

mainly it comes down to what the output of CS_H2I(h) is.


ty for help

Unittype? Unittype is an integer..

 

[m4st4]

i dont think so ... unittype is a type of its own

constant native ConvertUnitType  takes integer returns unittype

in common.j its defined as a handle so i guess one has to null it
i think you confused it with the unitTypeId that works with unittype like PlayerId works with player

Each constant unittype equals a different integer.

For example:

constant unittype UNIT_TYPE_HERO = ConvertUnitType(0)

So...

ConvertUnitType(0)

just returns

UNIT_TYPE_HERO

I'm almost absolutely sure that it's an integer and you don't have to null it and it doesn't leak. I don't feel like confirming it though by looking up a tutorial or something.

i dont know whether it leaks or not ...

but its definitely not an integer, but there is a one to one correspondence between unit types and integers

EDITED: for all who#d still like to know, unittype is a handle that we can but should not use according to vex ... dunno why but there is an easy way around it through that unittype-integer correspondence
