how do i add units to presets

[andreasaspenberg]

it is for a map project i am working on. (maybe several.)

i do not really understand what you mean could you give some more information? do you want to assign units to variables or what?

 

[andreasaspenberg]

in the trigger editor there is a unit category that are called presets. it is used by various types of unit scripts. i dont have the slightest idea how to add units to presets though.

 

[ikillforeyou]

press "Select a unit" then click your unit, this will add it to the list of "presets"

 

[Axarion]

Presets are just like globals. Do what ikillforyou said^^ Btw its the same for items etc

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i tried select a unit but that didnt add it to presets.

Boom.

Create your units in JASS instead of GUI.
Saves loading time.
You know which unit is which.

Done.

i havent learned jass. i aint very good with code either. therefore i have to use the trigger editor. i still dont know how to add units to presets.

Try to create a new action that needs an unit.
Then instead of using TriggeringUnit say "Custom Unit" (Dunno if its that in english We though)
Select your unit in your map.
You're done.

i need to use the unit within range event. that can only work either with a preselected unit(wont work.) or a unit added to presets.(preset under the unit sub menu.)

• Custom script: call TriggerRegisterUnitInRange( *trigger*), GetHandleId(*unit*) , *range* , null )

*trigger* = The trigger you want to add the event to. You can conver the trigger to custom text to get the name and then git undo to convert it back to GUI.

*unit* = The unit that other units come close to. You can use GetTriggerUnit(), GetEnumUnit() or udg_*variablename* for example.

*range* = Self explanatory.

The last null can be replaced with unit filter, but you can leave it to null and filter the unit with conditions in the trigger.

Just a note, that's a JNGP function, right? Can't do that in normal WE, I believe. In normal WE once it's turned into custom text, you can't turn it back? Been so long since i used normal WE, I might be mistaken, though.

Thats not a JNGP function.

Okay, disregard that then,
