Error when using preplaced units

[Marcelo Hossomi]

Hello

I'm having a problem with JNGP when I try to use the generated variable of preplaced units (things like gg_unit_A000_0001).

Whenever I write it in the code, this variable disappears from the globals declaration (created by Warcraft). I have to close and reopen the map to fix it.

It does not happen in normal WE...
Is there a way to fix it?

Thanks!

You need to have a GUI trigger referencing the unit somewhere, else the variable won't be created.
I think.

Yeah; create it in a dummy GUI trigger, save the map, then delete the trigger and it will work.

No need to save. Just reference the unit, you dont even need to press ok for the function.

Indeed, it worked. Although it's still annoying having to do it...
Thanks

Or you can generate the unit in JASS and asign it to a variable as it is made, this is as efficent and is infact how all units are made on map init.

This way I'll have problems when I reopen the World Editor. The original variables will be created and I'll have multiple declaration

(Have already tested xD)
