How to save Ability Code as a variable in a hashtable using GUI?

[Jemmish]

I'm trying to save an Ability Code variable for a specific unit key. "Let's call it AddAbility" into a hashtable so I can add the ability back to a unit later. I already have the unit's handle as Unitkey

My issue is that I can't find a way to save ability code variables into a hashtable. All I can save is integers but to use Add Ability to Unit actions I need ability code. How do I work around this?

I have AddAbility[0] as a first ability and I want each integer as seperate ones for each unit.

This is a simple example of how i'm trying to add the ability.

• For each (Integer A) from 0 to Unitkey, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Unit - Add AddAbility[(Integer A)] to (Last replaced unit)

Yeah, ability codes are just an integers. But GUI being GUI and doesn't allow certain things. You will have to use custom scripts.

Ahhh okay, I did try that but I kept getting syntax errors. Do you know a working script to save them?

• Set Variable MyAbilityCode = Avatar
• Custom script: set udg_MyInteger = udg_MyAbilityCode
• Hashtable - Save 1000 as 0 of MyInteger in Hashtable

Variables:
MyInteger = Integer
MyAbilityCode = Ability Code

You can get the Integer ID of an Ability being cast like this:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to Avatar
• Actions
  • Custom script: set udg_MyInteger = GetSpellAbilityId()
  • Set Variable LoadedInteger = (Load 0 of MyInteger from Hashtable)

^ LoadedInteger will be equal to 1000.
