        Allows you to get the race of a unit based on the rawcode.
        Only works if the user followed the Blizzard Race rawcode 
        convention:
            H/h: RACE_HUMAN
            O/o: RACE_ORC
            U/u: RACE_UNDEAD
            E/e: RACE_NIGHTELF
       
        API:
            function GetUnitIdRace takes integer unitId returns race
   
    ******************************************************************/

    private struct Data extends array
       
        readonly static integer array raceId
       
        private static method onInit takes nothing returns nothing

hehe now we need a library that defines the rawcode ie. 'A000' is an ability, 'B000' is a buff.

not really handy, calling buffs just like ability with lower case first letter much cooler

Except that you can literally make any combination for any unit/item/destructable/doodad/ability/buff/upgrade...

The only thing you could really do is check if it is a hero... which we are already able to do.

I think ill just wait until ODE gets an update for 1.27

That's why I put this:

/*

            O/o: RACE_ORC
            U/u: RACE_UNDEAD
            E/e: RACE_NIGHTELF
*/

Anyways, it was just a simple snippet I made and I thought it could still be useful to some so might as well upload it.
Could also be used as a reference about integers in rawcode form.

Can be useful.
