Compare Integer/Real above 1,000,000,000

[Wietlol]

Hi all.
Ability id's have an integer above 1,000,000,000 starting about 1,093,677,360
(could be a few different)

When I convert that number to a string, the number is displayed properly. But when I compare an integer of 1,000,000,001 to 1,000,000,010. WC3 sais that they are the same.

How can I compare integers of id's to each other properly?

Nope, it does not. Integers in wc3 are 32bit, so -2^31 to 2^31 - 1. The object ids are relatively free pickable but well, the first position has a weight of 256^3 multiplied by the ascii value of the char, so easy to get such high numbers.

Uhm... Yea sorry. I was wrong.
Real values cannot exceed 1,093,677,312
Just 1k more and I could have used them sooooo good.
Seems like I can use integers though.

I thought about having a real as id instead of an integer so I could be able to set sub-id's as decimal values.
However that won't work for abilities -_-

Reals are 32 bit too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_floating_point

However, you do not fill 2^32 objects. You can simply subtract the 1,000,000,000 for example.

id - 'A000'

well, reals are IEEE754 - binary32, but they seem to not print correctly above 1,093,677,312. I tried printing 1093677313. as well as 1093677312.1, as well as 50000000000., which are all valid reals, and for the first two it printed 1093677312.000, for third it print -12something.000.

Also it is worth noting that wc3 does not support scientific notation, so maybe they artificially limit the upper bound on reals
