[Trigger] Hashtable: load Unit ID doesnt work

[seasand3]

he guys! somehow my trigger doesnt work and i cant figure out why..
i try to make an ability that pulls the target to the caster:
the third message doesnt show up at all so i guess theres something going wrong with the loading saving of the targets unit ID but im kinda stuck there..
would be so cool if somebody could help me with that!

I dont see you storing anything into HT_pullTarget1.

in the second action:

• Hashtabelle - Save (Key (Target unit of ability being cast)) as HT_pullTarget1 of (Key (Triggering unit)) in theHashtable01

That's not you storing something into HT_pullTarget1. That's you saving something into the hashtable.

This might be some methodic you maybe want to use for periodically moving a unit towards an other with usage of hashtable.

ah got it, sry! HT_pullTarget1 is an integer and just represents the index in the hastable the target unit is stored. it is declared in another trigger: the trigger in which i create the hashtable and declare all of those index-integers.

actually i found another way to make my abilty work, i used unit groups for it and periodic events. but still: why cant i load the target unit from the hashtable? shouldnt it work that way? it bothers me cause im using similar functions to remove dummy-casters from the game to avoid memory-leaks etc..
