• Hashtable - Save Something as 0 of (Key (Target unit of ability being cast)) in Hashtable

ya im trying to do tht but when i go to selelct a handle id there arent any options there

JNGP doesn't support GUI hashtables fully and that issues manifests itself in this fashion.

There is a way to enablethem but that solution has escaped my mind. Google or the search function can advice you more.

You can do this.

• Set u2 = (Target unit of ability being cast)
• Custom script: set udg_i1 = GetHandleId(udg_u2)
• Hashtable - Save 0 as 1 of i1 in (Last created hashtable)

u2 = unit variable
i1 = integer variable

ooo tht sucks so id have to use custom scripts for this ok lol hopefully someone could tell me if theres a shorter way ? and thx maker +rep

I don't have a short way but I got a simpler method for better understanding of it.

the one maker posted is the shorter.
Cacheing == makes the trigger faster.
Calling functions repeatedly == makes the trigger slower

• Unit Spawns
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 5.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Clear_Point = (Center of (Playable map area))
    • Unit - Create 1 Spell Breaker for Player 1 (Red) at Clear_Point facing Default building facing degrees
    • Set Globalcustomvalue = (Globalcustomvalue + 1)
    • Unit - Set the custom value of (Last created unit) to Globalcustomvalue
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Clear_Point)

Sorry this is for example only. The Globalcustomvalue is for tracking each unit that is spawned on the map, that means you have to assign a custom value for every unit that spawn, it is a requirement.

            • Unit - Move (Picked unit) instantly to clearpoint2
            • Hashtable - Save ((Load (Custom value of (Picked unit)) of 1 from hashTest) - 15.00) as (Custom value of (Picked unit)) of 1 in hashTest

            • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Clear_Point)

Some stuff may not be used like Unit that is stored in this kind of hashtable, its not necessary but it depends, in this case it's for demo only

So wat is an example of cacheing ? and sry destiny knight im not really sure how tht would work i get how its saving the units custom value and everything like tht but im using custom value of units for some of the other stuff in my map so i cant really use this i heard there was a custom script for adding the (key(target of ability being cast)) or whatever it is if anyone can give me those and a short example of what to type in tht would be great also thanks

 

[deathismyfriend]

anyone know the custom script for the handle id for hashtables i cant find it on google ?

 

[Maker]

GetHandleId()

What else you need, is not clear.

 

[deathismyfriend]

well thts jass i need a custom script one and how to set it up ( type it in ) im not sure how to do tht to save and load a (key(handle id) tht thing

 

[Acutesharpness]

I assure my method works well but you have to give up custom value, but you can use point value too
