hero id in condistions

[Jan12345]

i want for my save load the hero id in condistions

for example

Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -save as An exact match

Conditions
(matching unit) Equal to hf00

but i can only select a hero on the map

actually i need it in actions to get it work

like

Actions
Custom script: if (matching unit) Equal to hf00 then
Custom script: if (matching unit) Equal to hrif then
....
save Trigger
Custom script: endif

That would be

• Custom Script: if GetUnitTypeId(GetFilterUnit()) == 'hf00' then

GetFilterUnit would be (matching unit) in GUI, and GetUnitTypeId is a function that returns the unit's type id (rawcode). This type id is always understood to be an integer, so must be enclosed with ' ' quotes.

For example, a peasant's type of is "hpea" and GetUnitTypeId will return "hpea" for the peasant.

Matching unit does not work here; it only works for "pick units in <group> matching <condition where matching unit works>". Why do you want these filters/conditions to be in JASS custom scripts? You can do a unit-type comparison in GUI just fine.

I don't get what do you want to compare to 'hf00'.
Is it currently selected unit? Or is it the only unit controlled by player?

Matching unit does not make sense here, you should rather use Entered chat string since you are referring to a player chat event. Your trigger should look like this :

Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -save as A substring

If Substring(Entered chat string, 7, 11) Equal to hf00

Save trigger.

i just need a trigger that will test if the player who types save, has the hero.

and i got a trigger for save, and need to add this somehow.

Straightforward solution would be

• Set TempGroup = (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Footman) and ((Owner of (Matching unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red))))
• Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempGroup and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions

Or

• Set TempGroup = (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Footman) and ((Owner of (Matching unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red))))
• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • (TempGroup is empty) Equal to False
  • Then - Actions
  • Else - Actions

But selecting all units in playable map area isn't recommended.

But you can have a global group you add all units of interest to.
For example:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Finishes training a unit
• Conditions
  • (Unit-type of (Trained unit)) Equal to Footman
• Actions
  • Unit Group - Add (Trained unit) to TempGroup

guess 2nd would work best, because they also can load them, and another thing is, the units are not placed at the map, so a function for hero selecting on map is not that good, thats why i would need a function with hero id, but 2nd option should work i guess.

Just store your Hero as a Unit Variable and then reference that.
