Get Unit Resource Cost in Trigger

[jimmydic]

I need to be able to get these values for any random trigger unit and store them as a variable. Any ideas?

Edit: To be more clear, I want to give the Player that kills any unit on the map the amount of resources that unit cost, multiplied by some factor. So if there's another way that doesn't involve editing kill resource for each unit...

You can read some data fields via the use of various natives in the trigger editor, however someone reported being unable to retrieve fields that contain a list for an entry.

In the end you can always manually enter them into a database of some kind.

The main part I don't know how to do is how to get the name of the field data element, so as to reference it. In your case it will be something relating the name of the unit type to "CUnit_CostResource" to name the Data Field element you're looking for. IE: Factory.CUnit_CostResource

Then you somehow extract this data using the "Value from data table" function. For the resource cost list, it's either going to be an integer array or a string (with "|" as the delimiter.)

EDIT: It must be one of the Catalog functions. Probably CatalogFieldValueGet: http://www.sc2mapster.com/api-docs/functions/catalog-field-value-get/

Well, I assume that's how.

Player - Modify player 1 Minerals: Add (Minerals cost of Unit Type)

The function that gets you the cost is called "Unit Type Cost".
