Comparing integer spell id to alpha numeric ID

[stormman67]

Hi,

So I might just be daft but I'm trying to compare spell IDs in a AbilityCast function, and the ID's I'm getting are not matching.

I have a spell with ID 'a002' (if I print this I get 1630548018), however, when I cast the spell and print "GetSpellAbilityId()" it prints 1093677106

Can anyone shine some light on what I'm doing wrong?

globals
    trigger gg_trg_CopterSpellcast      
    integer SPL_AC_CAST_ID = 'a002'  
endglobals

function StartSpellAutocannon takes player p returns nothing
    //Logic for autocannon spell
endfunction

function CheckSpellCast takes nothing returns nothing
    call BJDebugMsg(I2S(GetSpellAbilityId()))   //Prints 1093677106
    call BJDebugMsg(I2S(SPL_AC_CAST_ID))        //Prints 1630548018
    if(GetSpellAbilityId() == SPL_AC_CAST_ID) then
        call StartSpellAutocannon(GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()))
    endif
endfunction

function Init_SpellAutocannon takes nothing returns nothing  
    set gg_trg_CopterSpellcast = CreateTrigger()  
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ(gg_trg_CopterSpellcast, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_CAST)
    call TriggerAddAction(gg_trg_CopterSpellcast, function CheckSpellCast)
endfunction

Maybe the actual ID is 'A002', it's case sensitive. I don't think there's any other reason besides you giving the wrong rawcode.

I'm definitely going to try that!

What Uncle said is correct. Rawcodes are base-62 and as such are case sensitive: 0-9, A-Z, a-z.

Yup, does the trick now. Thanks a lot!

wc3 will also sometimes accept punctuation and non-latin characters (including invisible ones) in rawcodes technically, at least i seem to recall that from some of my limited testing

internally '+' shows up in some engine-specific 4ccs

I figured there were probably 2 more valid characters for base-64 but I didn’t know what they were so left it at 62. Makes sense to me.

You can pretty much put whatever you want into rawcodes. Any four bytes really (when we're talking about fourcc's). The single char variant has slightly different rules because it accepts escaped chars. But you could just put those escape characters verbatim in your script. pjass should tell when you're doing it wrong.
