[JASS] How do I get rawcode of ability being cast?

[TKF]

SOLVED


set udg_IDSpell = GetSpellAbilityId(???GetCastingAbility???GetObjectName???GetAbilityName???)


I'm learning JASS

I want the ASCII integer value of the current casting ability. I'm not sure what JASS code I need for getting it. Do I need something between the ( to get the current casting ability )?

Does this work or?

set udg_IDSpell = S2I(GetAbilityName(GetSpellAbilityId()))
Edit: No it doesn't only fetch the name

EDIT:

I want to avoid looping 200+ abilities. I want only the integer value of casting ability which removes loop like I've done with unit-type system.

GetAbilityName is from blizzard.j, I don't know of any other function doing the same.


But I want to fetch the ability rawcode, not the name rawcode which is my problem.

Yeah I realised my method wasn't that good... I'm taking a look now

EDIT: Found this in jasscraft:

function GetAbilityName takes integer abilcode returns string
    return GetObjectName(abilcode)
endfunction

Maybe you can use GetObjectName?

There's also:

constant native GetSpellAbilityId           takes nothing returns integer

The closest to I can get is the ID in hexadecimal, not the converted ones like 'Aloc' and such.

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: call BJDebugMsg(I2S(GetSpellAbilityId()))

The ID is set udg_IDSpell = GetSpellAbilityId()

 

[TKF]

The ID is set udg_IDSpell = GetSpellAbilityId()

Really that simple??? Does it fetch the ability integer according to the event EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT

I'm going to bed now, I give reps tomorrow....

Yes, it's the same as GUI trigger I've shown you on the previous post.
