Hashtables bugged or outdated?

[HaaG]

Hello I've been years away from hive, just started anew, so I am using JNPG and was following a tutorial for hashtables from here Hashtables and MUI

But this option simply doesn't exist:

• Hashtable - Save 10.00 as 0 of (Key (Target unit of ability being cast)) in hashTable

And it is exactly what I need to make my HoT Spell. The closest I find is Key(String)Target unit of ability being cast, but this gets overwritten on the 2nd unit, and the spell doesnt work for more than 1 unit at a time. Will appreciate any help, thanks.

PS: Where is DR super GOOD? : D

It exists:

You need to get the Handle (id) of an object.

Ok I just tested on my other pc with reforged world editor and it exists there. But When I go back to my JNPG patch like 1.26 or so, this option doesn't exist. If I click "Handle" There aren't any functions, there is only the option to select a variable of type handle. Any idea why would that happen? Is my JNPG bugged?

I don't know, it's probably just an incompatible version.

[Solved] - JNGP only working with certain maps

Hello folks, I have 1.26a Warcraft + JNGP207 set up on my PC and it works fine. I copied my whole directory to another computer and certain features only work on a few maps. There are no apparent commonalities between these maps, but JNGP is consistent: if it works with a melee map Booty Bay...

What is the difference between JNGP1.5 and JNGP2.0?

As far as I know, the newest version of JNGP is 2.0, which can be downloaded from The Jass NewGen Pack (JNGP) 2.0 - WC3 Modding Information Center. However, the newest version I can find in Hive is 1.5g (Jass NewGen Pack [Official]). Is there any problem with the version 2.0? Which version...

I see, thanks for help, I will try re-install, hopefully that fixes it. I'm not sure what version of JNPG I have. If anyone else has other ideas to fix this, I'll also gladly hear them.

JNGP is pretty much obsolete/end of life. Look for an alternative editor if the reforged or CE editor does not meet your requirements.

That's pretty sad, reforged editor crashes often and doesnt support VJASS, otherwise seems a bit improved(Some new weird terms as well).
So I use either 1.26 or JNPG. Actually I might have found a workaround, switching between 1.26(Hashtables not bugged there) and JNPG : D
Or I'll try converting to custom text, since I remember re-installing JNPG is a pain.

The Reforged editor does support vJASS. You have to go to the Trigger Editor and then under JassHelper, check Enable vJASS and Enable JassHelper.

It supports vJass although JassHelper is disabled by default (simply enable it in the Trigger Editor). Also, the crashes tend to be related to imported HD assets. I recommend saving the map as a folder (another nice feature of newer versions) and managing your imported assets outside of the editor.

Oh didnt know that. Nice then. About the crash - i was doing basic stuff in object editor i think, but dont remember what exactly.

Since JNGP is based on an old version of the World Editor, you get that problem with hashtables in GUI. A workaround would be to set an integer variable to the handle id of the unit and then use the integer variable as the key.

• Set TargetVariable = (Target unit of ability being cast)
• Custom script: set udg_MyKeyVariable = GetHandleId(udg_TargetVariable)
• Hashtable - Save 10.00 as 0 of MyKeyVariable in hashTable
