Attach an integer or variable to a unit?

[HelloFlighty]

I've tried using custom values like in this trigger.
but it never seems to actually change the units custom value, through hours of testing I'm certain it isn't my trigger that is responsible.

• Damage Matrix
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Y[2] = 1
    • Set Z[2] = 1
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to ActivePlayerUnits, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Base Damage of Alpha[Y[2]] for weapon index 1) Greater than (Base Damage of Alpha[Z[2]] for weapon index 1)
          • Then - Actions
            • Set Y[2] = (Y[2] + 1)
            • Set Z[2] = 1
            • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the overhead of Alpha[Y[2]] using Abilities\Spells\Other\TalkToMe\TalkToMe.mdl
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • RecievedPriorityPoint[2] Equal to False
              • Then - Actions
                • Unit - Set the custom value of Alpha[Y[2]] to ((Custom value of Alpha[Y[2]]) + 1)
              • Else - Actions
          • Else - Actions
            • Set Z[2] = (Z[2] + 1)
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • Z[2] Greater than or equal to ActivePlayerUnits
              • Then - Actions
                • Set Z[2] = 1
                • Set Y[2] = (Y[2] + 1)
              • Else - Actions

Basically i need an integer or value to be "attached" to the unit so that later triggers can check this units "value" essentially, but i'm struggling to do so.

• Health Matrix
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Y[1] = 1
    • Set Z[1] = 1
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to ActivePlayerUnits, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Max HP of Alpha[Y[1]]) Greater than (Max HP of Alpha[Z[1]])
          • Then - Actions
            • Set Y[1] = (Y[1] + 1)
            • Set Z[1] = 1
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • RecievedPriorityPoint[1] Equal to False
              • Then - Actions
                • -------- Amount Of "Priority" Added to unit --------
                • Set Value = (Value + 1)
              • Else - Actions
          • Else - Actions
            • Set Z[1] = (Z[1] + 1)
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • Z[1] Greater than or equal to ActivePlayerUnits
              • Then - Actions
                • Set Z[1] = 1
                • Set Y[1] = (Y[1] + 1)
              • Else - Actions

As i previously stated, custom values don't seem to work, Using this trigger to display the units Custom Value ingame always returns a 0 even though it should be +1

• Display unit custom value
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) Selects a unit
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Selectedunit = (Triggering unit)
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String((Custom value of Selectedunit)))

All help is incredibly appreciated

EDIT: For refence these are the triggers responsible for assigning unit Variables

Man, what on earth map are you creating? So many complicated trigger work! Good luck though! Would love to play when you are finished! Do PM me the link!

This is basically what a hashtable is used for, check the tutorial section

Your variable naming does not help decipher the code...
I am not entirely sure you understand how loops work either...

You should look up a tutorial on indexing.

Edit// Ignore this bit, I got confused by your variable naming. ActivePlayerUnits >>> ActivePlayerUnitsCount

Spoiler

Your initialization triggers (0.01 & 0.05 sek elapsed) are registering the wrong things on the wrong places.
This particular part:

• For each (Integer A) from 1 to ActivePlayers, do (Actions)
  • 
    
    
    
    Loop - Actions
    • 
      
      
      
      
      Set U[4] = (U[4] + 1)
    • 
      
      
      
      
      Player Group - Add (Player(U[4])) to PlayersPlaying

• 
  
  
  Player Group - Pick every player in PlayersPlaying and do (Actions)
  • 
    
    
    
    Loop - Actions
    • 
      
      
      
      
      Set ActivePlayerUnits = (ActivePlayerUnits + (Number of units in (Units owned by (Picked player))))

If i was able to use the units custom value than i'd be able to work this all out myself, i just can't figure out why custom value isn't working :/

 

[Chaosy]

If you use a unit indexer that might cause a conflict.
It is not a good method anyway since you can only store one value per unit with that method.
