[Solved] Help with hashtables

[Stonebludgeon]

What I'm trying to achieve is create a trigger that reorders units that are grouped in a battalion after one of them dies (currently we assume that the commander dies last).

The battalion looks like this:
5 3 1 2 4
10 8 6 7 9

Where number 1 is the commander unit.
The following values are stored in hash tables:

Units in the group
0 of unit handle in battalions = commander unit handle
1 of unit handle in battalions = unit number in group

The commander
3 of commander unit handle in unitproperties = number of units in group
2-n of commander unit handle in battalions = unit handle of units in group

With n the number of units in the group.
Two hashtables have been used which is specific to my map and needs no optimizing to one hashtable.

The trigger looks like this:

• -------- Set Variables --------
• Set TemporaryHandle1 = (Load 0 of (Key (Triggering unit)) in Battalions)
• Set TemporaryHandle2 = (Load (Load 3 of (Key TemporaryHandle1) from UnitProperties) of (Key TemporaryHandle1) in Battalions)
• Set TemporaryUnit1 = (Load (Load 3 of (Key TemporaryHandle1) from UnitProperties) of (Key TemporaryHandle1) in Battalions)
• -------- Save Variables --------
• Hashtable - Save Handle OfTemporaryUnit1 as (Load 1 of (Key (Triggering unit)) from Battalions) of (Key TemporaryHandle1) in Battalions
• Hashtable - Save (Load 1 of (Key (Triggering unit)) from Battalions) as 1 of (Key TemporaryHandle2) in Battalions
• Hashtable - Save ((Load 3 of (Key TemporaryHandle1) from UnitProperties) - 1) as 3 of (Key TemporaryHandle1) in UnitProperties

The idea is that:
-------- Set Variables --------
* TemporaryHandle1 becomes the handle of the commander unit
* TemporaryHandle2 becomes the handle of the unit with the highest group number (so when the first unit dies this is unit number 10, when the next one dies 9, etc.)
* TemporaryUnit1 is the same as TemporaryHandle2, used once later to use 'Save handle of...'
-------- Save Variables --------
* Here TemporaryUnit1 is saved to its new position in the commanders part of the battalion hashtable (for instance if unit number 3 dies in a group of 10 units, unit number 10 takes the place unit number 3)
* Then the new number is assigned to the unit itself in his part of the battalion hashtable
* The last action reduces the number of units in the group by one, which is stored in unitproperies for the commander unit

I can't seem to figure out whats wrong, however the following is happening:
- When the first unit dies, its place is taken correctly like this:
number 2 dies
5 3 1 - 4
10 8 6 7 9
number 10 takes is place
5 3 1 10 4
- 8 6 7 9
- The second time, number 9 does no longer take the position of the next dying unit
- Later on, (Load 3 of (Key TemporaryHandle1) from UnitProperties) gets stuck on 8 (it does go down to 9 on first death and 8 on second death)

If more information is required please post it, and if you know the solution, let me know!
Thanks!

pls make your query simple, can you just do randomly like;
5 3 1 - 4
10 8 6 7 9 <--- any of these goes up or it must be 10?

Thanks for the reply, but i just fixed it by using another position in the battalions hashtable. Somehow even without any interference that i could find, it bugged because it used position 3 in my unitproperies hash.

Solved.
