[Solved] GetHandleId() vs GetUnitTypeID()

[deathismyfriend]

My question is will GetHandleId() and GetUnitTypeId() ever collide with the same integer when being used in hashtable ?
example:

call SaveInteger( hash, GetHandleId(), 0, int)
call SaveInteger( hash, GetUnitTypeId(), 0, int)

Thanks for help

No, unless you have an incredibly large number of handles.

edit: Assuming you have: '!!!!', which afaik is the lowest valid rawcode, you'd have:
0x21212121 = 555819297
Since agents start at 0x100000 (1048576), you need at least 554770721 handles to encounter a collision.

No, unless you have an incredibly large number of handles.

Ooo so it is possible just improbable ? The only other thing i can try then is to store the handle ids as negative values since they won't get overwritten.
Is that a better way ?

Updated my post. You'll hit memory limits before you get that high, so you don't need to worry about it. Just use them directly.
