Cannot convert integer to unit

[Helheim]

Hi!
I'm trying to use a custom script for the hashtable from Uncle's example:

[Ability Cooldown Remaining] function not working?

Hi! My goal is to auto-cast a spell under certain conditions. To reduce lags in the case of multiple units I want to check the condition if the spell is ready or not. But when I try to use the Ability Cooldown Remaining condition, the whole thing stops working, until I disable that function...

But when I try

• Custom script: set udg_AI_Id = GetUnitTypeId(udg_TempUnitType)

it causes an error: "Cannot convert integer to unit in parameter whichUnit in call to GetUnitTypeId"

It seems to be fine with udg_TempUnit. Ofc. I can create a TempUnit of each Unit Type. But maybe it is possible to convert the UnitType directly?

Thanks for help!

I think TempUnitType is the actual result you want to get; you don't need to get the type id of an integer so to speak.

Moreover, it is already possible to get the type id of the unit. You've achieved this (albeit unknowingly) by replacing TempUnitType with TempUnit. GetUnitTypeId should return the result you're looking for.

Sorry about that, I updated my post to use the proper method. Like MyPad said, GetUnitTypeId() takes a unit and returns it's unit-type id.

This is what I meant for you to do:

• Custom script: set udg_SomeInteger = udg_SomeUnitType

This will set SomeInteger to the id of whatever unit-type you've set SomeUnitType to.

Then you use that Integer as the Parent key in your Hashtable as a way to save data to that specific unit-type. The Child keys would hold the actual data.

So now whenever we want to get information about a unit-type but all we have is a unit, we can use the GetUnitTypeId() function to do so:

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: set udg_SomeInteger = GetUnitTypeId(GetTriggerUnit())
    • /// Now plug SomeInteger into the Hashtable as the Parent key and you'll have access to any data that you've saved at the Child keys

Note: GetTriggerUnit() is the same thing as (Triggering unit). You can also use a Unit variable here to make the syntax easier to work with.

• Set Variable udg_SomeUnit = (Triggering unit)
• Custom script: set udg_SomeInteger = GetUnitTypeId(udg_SomeUnit)

I need that integer to set up the trigger array. But there is no option to put a UnitType in

upd: thanks again, Uncle!
