How to find the Unit Type ID of a unit?

[NarGalloth]

Hi.

I want to use the CreateUnit() function, but one of the parameters it takes is some kind of "Unit ID". I think this is what defines the unit type of the created unit. However, I have no idea about where can I find this ID...

Someone can help me with this?

Open Object Editor, switch to units, press CTRL+D.

Thanks for your answer!

When I do what you say, my unit's name says "h000:hpea". I suppose this is the ID I'm looking, isn't it?

And another question... This is for a spell, and this unit I'm trying to create is a dummy unit. However, if another person uses my spell in his map, the ID of his dummy will probably be different to the one my dummy has, and the spell won't work.
Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but how could I solve this issue?

h000 is the id of your custom unit, 'hpea' is the id of the unit it was based on. Also, you have to put it like this: 'h000' and not "h000" or h000.

Thank you, it worked!
With this, I managed to create the unit I needed.

However, there's still the other problem I mentioned.

you could make a local integer in the config area and set it to the dummy rawcode so everyone who uses your spell can change it easily.

Post the script that doesn't 'work' so we can help you. As clap said, there is a way to change this 'rawcode' in the script.

@NarGalloth: Yes, you're wrong. You have to place an specific spot with a comment to guide your ability user, and let him/her know that in that place he/she has to place the ID of his dummy unit, and that your's is just an example

 

[NarGalloth]

I understand. I'll just set the unit ID in the setup trigger of the spell, and write the instructions to make it work.
Thank you both, you've helped me a lot!

Also, do post the script, there are probably even more ways in which it can be improved.
