[Solved] Get Unit ID <-> String

[Strydhaizer]

Hello, just a quick question, how do I convert Unit ID (ex. Custom Building 1 (H000), another Custom Building (H001)) to a String? (ex. Custom Building 1 == H000 -> True)

What I am trying to achieve here is to the store unit ids to the UnitString array. The buildings are chests for example, and everytime I interact with them the items in it will be different (I have made an Interface made of destructibles and it will update everytime I interact with different chests - This thing is already done).

Arrays
UnitString[64], Item01[64], Item02[64], Item03[64], Item04[64]

Sample Data
H000, Pendant something, Boots something, Helmet something, No Item
H001, Claw, No Item, No Item, Helmet 2 something, No Item

Why do you want them to be strings? They are integers internally, just in a different base. You can store and compare them as integers without having to do anything in JASS; GUI also has unit type variables which are just integers under the hood.

Some of the new ‘object field’ natives can read object editor data so you could get the OE name of the unit that way rather than its rawcode.

Im kinda confused earlier - Im trying to display to display the unit ID ingame earlier lol, I just realized just now that it's not really necessary to get the strings I just have to store the units directly to the unit array and not to string array Thanks again Pyro!

Also you can use this to convert the integer to a readable string that looks like hfoo or whatever instead of 299130146: [Snippet] Ascii
