Hashtable - Save Ability Handle is not working

[DocDude]

in GUI, when i try to make the action "Hashtable - Save Ability Handle" and i press the "ability" to put something there the editor crashes.
Is this a known issue? or is it just me? :O
i have the latest WE (the original one).

Using this function on GUI seemingly really leads to an editor crush.
Instead of using that "save ability" you could use a string or integer value in order to save the rawcode of the ability. If that ability is supposed to be cast later on you can also save its command string in the cache.

How do i save the rawcode of the ability?
and the command string? XD

Ability rawcodes and vars of type "Ability" are simple Integer vars and therefore accepted as Integer in JASS. One example i did in GUI, using some custom scripts, udg_i being integer and udg_ability being "ability":

Rawcode
    Event
        Time - Elapsed game time is 5.00 seconds
    Condition
    Action
        Custom script:   set udg_i=udg_ability
        Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String(i))
        Custom script:   set udg_ability=udg_i
        Unit - Add ability to Sorceress 0001 <gen>

The command string of an ability can be found in the Object Editor and needs to be explicity stored.
