Help transfer to >1.24 playable map

[Tsaras]

So the 1.24 patch messed up all my maps, that's pretty much why I stopped at the time.
All the systems were using the Handle functions, which I had and have no idea how they work. I do however know how to use structs and the rest.

How can I remake the systems that use the Handle functions with a functioning code?

replace

function H2I takes handle h returns integer
    return h
    return 0
endfunction

by

function H2I takes handle h returns integer
    return GetHandleId(h)
endfunction

or remove all function calls to H2I by GetHandleId.

Most probably your map also uses other functions that take advantage of the return bug. In that case, I suggest you simply use hashtables.

If you are using the JASS Newgen Pack with Jasshelper, I recommend taking a look at Vex's Faux HandleVars script here: http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=106558

If you do not have access to JassHelper, you can still take a look at Vex's script to see how to go about altering HandleVars so that it will work with a hashtable instead of gamecache and the return bug.
