[Trigger] Get abilities of unit (by position x,y or list)

[inspicous]

In essence I'd like to tell a building to train the first type of unit it can train (at position 0,0 in action menu or from Techtree - Units Trained list). So for a Town Hall a peasant, for barracks a footman etc. without having to make and maintain this list myself.

GUI, Jass or Wurst, doesn't matter. Can't find anything similar or a way to access this data from a unit or unittype :/

Thanks

Don't think it is possible with natives. As you say it would require a hashmap or something with manual input

 

[MyPad]

If I recall, there is a library in vJASS that allows one to work with an iterable set of abilities. (List Unit Abilities in the Lab). Yes, there are no natives related to that, so the library above would be the closest thing to what is being requested here.

Might you want to post the map, to get some overview? It might depend which work around is suited the best. I believe this could help much.

Also, can it be important for any point of the game to change the "first training choice", or must it be explicitly the unit with AbilityPos 0/0, always?

Thanks for the replies. I went for a simple hashmap in the end.

Pastin code just in case someone might find it useful in the future.
Not marked solved because no direct answer but correct me if I'm wrong.
Cheers

import HashMap
import UnitIds

HashMap<int, int> mapMakesUnits // key: building typeId int, value: unit typeId int

/** initMakesUnits() must have been called first, once */
public function unit.getMakesUnits() returns int
    return mapMakesUnits.get(this.getTypeId())
    // so for OP, I simply call this function on a unit, and tell it to train what comes out as result with
    // IssueTrainOrderByIdBJ(trainer, result-of-this-function)
    // (this is used in another place, not in this function)

function initMakesUnits() // I call it from my map initialization
    mapMakesUnits = new HashMap<int, int>
    // humans
    ..put( UnitIds.townhall, UnitIds.peasant )
    ..put( UnitIds.humanbarracks, UnitIds.footman )
    //....
    // orcs
    ..put( UnitIds.greathall, UnitIds.peon )
    // and so on...

Could you elaborate how this info is related?

// for getting the currently training
//    unit.getCurrentOrder() returns int
// and it can be stopped with
//    IssueImmediateOrder(u, "stop")

Well now that you mention it, besides the point it works on units, it isn't connected at all.
I guess because I've been using it in my project it got connected in my mind.
