GetUnitGoldCost()

[Fordcz]

Hello,

I'm experiencing some difficulties with GetUnitGoldCost() function. It's a tower sell system where the player is supposed to get back the tower's gold cost. I keep getting a compile error. Here's the suspicious line:

call AdjustPlayerStateBJ( GetUnitGoldCost(GetHandleId(GetTriggerUnit())), GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()), PLAYER_STATE_RESOURCE_GOLD )

what does the error say?

btw, where did you get GetUnitGoldCost? I cannot find it in the function list...

The error says: 1 compile error: Line 110: Expected a name

I found this function in JASS manual: http://jass.sourceforge.net/doc/api/common_ai-functions.shtml#section_G

I cant find it in the function list of TESH...

anyway, I think it shouldn't be GetHandleId, it should be GetUnitTypeId... because UnitTypeId is the one that returns the rawcode of the unit, HandleId changes for every unit instance even if they are from the same unit in the Object editor...

though this will only correct the way that it works, I'm not sure if this will solve the error...

maybe it was removed? Even in GUI I cannot find a line which says Unit - Gold Cost or the likes... and it is black colored inside the JASS tag which means its not a native...

you can try to add this line in the map header or in a library

native GetUnitGoldCost         takes integer unitid                        returns integer

and use GetUnitTypeId...

anyway I think its because its in the common.ai and not in common.j that's why it wont work directly...

Yea you'll have to declare the native at the top of the script that uses it because it comes from the common.ai file I believe. It works like UnitAlive where you declare:

native UnitAlive takes unit u returns boolean

Instead you would do as Adiktuz said, and define it as native GetUnitGoldCost takes integer id returns integer.
