Custom script, get unit variable

[Solu9]

Heya.

I use this custom script when I want to add Locust to a unit.

• Custom script: call UnitAddAbility( GetSpellTargetUnit(), 'Aloc' )

It works.

I have a case where I need to add Locust to a stored unit.
uChest_Unit_Buffer <- unit variable

I get an error when saving this:

• Custom script: call UnitAddAbility( GetuChest_Unit_Buffer(), 'Aloc' )

What do type when I want to use the unit variable instead of target of ability?

To use GUI generated globals in custom script, simply put "udg_" before the variable name:

uChest_Unit_Buffer ---> udg_uChest_Unit_Buffer

If you create variables in GUI variable editor you have to use the "udg_" prefix. And "()" just means function call, you don't need this if you have a variable.

So "udg_variableName" in your case --> udg_GetuChest_Unit_Buffer

uChest_Unit_Buffer ---> udg_uChest_Unit_Buffer

Hm yeah. It's just that I have actually tried that already and I still get the error.
Before you write "are you sure the variable is called that", yes it is

Edit:
The error says "undeclared function".
Does that mean it thinks I didn't set the uChest_Unit_Buffer anywhere?
Because I do that as well.

could you post the trigger in question? That would clear things up.

Sure. I didn't think it was so complicated that I needed to. But here they are.

 

[chobibo]

udg_GetuChest_Unit_Buffer() should be udg_uChest_Unit_Buffer

 

[Solu9]

udg_GetuChest_Unit_Buffer() should be udg_uChest_Unit_Buffer

Without the get and without the empty parentheses. Got it.
The map saved without getting the error now.


Thanks!

I know, I know...

 

[chobibo]

So "udg_variableName" in your case --> udg_GetuChest_Unit_Buffer

You forgot to remove the "Get" word in your post.

Hm, yoa but could not know how the variable is called in that time.
