Can't get this func to work?

I'm trying to make a group of units that have the same type.
By using this native:

native GroupEnumUnitsOfType takes group whichGroup, string unitname, boolexpr filter returns nothing

What confuses me is the "string unitname" part.
I guess it's supposed to "represent" the unit type, but... What should I put in its place?

I tried these, but they don't seem to work:

call GroupEnumUnitsOfType(g, "Footman", null)
call GroupEnumUnitsOfType(g, "hf00", null)
call GroupEnumUnitsOfType(g, I2S('hf00'), null)

Hah, write string 'footman' instead of 'Footman'.

You can also use:

constant native UnitId2String takes integer unitId returns string

Where unitid is rawcode like 'hfoo' for footman.

By the way, for fooman the rawcode is not hf00 but hfoo.

The name of standard units is some english identifier (most time the default unit name in object editor in lowercase). The name of custom units is "custom_" + raw.

Don't use unit name strings unless you don't care about saved games

But ofc using constant strings such as "footman" should be fine, but UnitId2String is not.

Thanks, I found out that custom unit string-ids look like "custom_h002".
