Determine <goldcost> of <triggering unit>

[sadvisor]

Is there any way to determine the GoldCost of a (TriggeringUnit) ?

For example: let's say I want to make a trigger that displays a message telling me, the (OwnerOf (TriggeringUnit)), the GoldConst of the (TriggeringUnit), when

• Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability

Hmmm,have you tried hashtables?You might be able to save the gold.

Or set it's point value in the object editor to the same as the units gold cost and output that instead.

Then a unit that costs 200 gold will give 200 points to the player, and he'll build up score easily. Best thing is hashtable and explicitly defining each one.

What is point value anyway? I know it's used in Tower defenses for sell value and such but what was it actually used for?

- It can be used for distinguishing a specific Unit Type or creating imaginary Unit Classes with varius Unit Types. e.g. Let's say you have 8 different critter types. Set all critter point values to 10 and then you can create a trigger that will contain all critter Types with the condition of their point value being 10, instead of checking if the Unit Type is one of the 8 critter types.

It's the points the user gets for his score when he builds a unit.

So what VergilThazaar said was false?

 

[VergilThazaar]

I said the "Use" of Point Value..

Ah sorry ^^

Don't worry, technically my answer was wrong.
