[JASS] GetUnit name from UnitType

[markone]

Hi guys,
This is my 1st time that I'm asking for jass help

I would like to get unit name by giving unit type to function, i tried something but i got "custom_xxxx" where xxxx is raw data of my unit...

Is there any notlaggy fast way to solve this

ps. sorry if its something easy, but i couldnt solve it

Why not use GetUnitName ?
constant native GetUnitName takes unit whichUnit returns string

Yes there is, use:

constant native GetObjectName               takes integer objectId          returns string

You can use either one. GetObjectName is probably mainly for globally retrieving since it takes a rawID, while GetUnitName is for a specific object...

They both return the same thing though. Even when dealing with a hero. But if you want a hero's proper name, use this:

native          GetHeroProperName   takes unit whichHero returns string

Yea its does what i was need, thx a lot

other 2 natives are not UnitType to name, so they couldnt do this job

I can't think of any case that one will need a unit type to get the name...

Dont be that jelius

off topic but not so much

It seems (i didn't test all the functions ....) that in general a specific function is a little faster that an generic one, ofc i talk about functions with the same number of arguments.

For example GetUnitX is faster than GetWidgetX.

i tested it with japi

strange... at all unit is the extended version of widget
hmm maybe it spends some on converting unit to widget
