[Solved] How to store an ability in a hashtable?

[shinji]

I need to save an ability in a hash table. But world editor crashes when I try to. Any custom scripts that solves it?

 

[Ender]

change it to an integer var like this

• Custom Script: set udg_Int = udg_abil

than save that with the hastable, and when you load it do the reverse,

• Custom Script: set udg_abil = udg_Int

Explanation: Why it works, ability vars are integers(basically) gui just doesn't recognize this.

 

[shinji]

Oh. I remember someone telling me to use integers. So that's what he ment. Using integers... Lol.
Thank you for your help. +Rep to you.

 

[Arhowk]

when he said "use integers" i believe he meant store the rawcode of the spell..

And so that no-one gets confused, I'd like to clarify that raw codes are integers.

 

[mckill2009]

in addition, save an ability like this...
call SaveInteger(HASH, ParentID, childID, abilityID)

in addition, save an ability like this...
call SaveInteger(HASH, ParentID, childID, abilityID)

Is an ability ID a raw code?

 

[Bribe]

Yes, ability ID is a rawcode.

 

[shinji]

Yes, ability ID is a rawcode.

Thank you for the help guys.

EDIT :

• Custom script: call SaveInteger(udg_AbilityHash,Hamg,1,AHbz)

This doesn't work. What's wrong?

EDIT :

• Custom script: call SaveIntegerBJ( 'AHbz', GetHandleIdBJ(GetUnitsOfTypeIdAll('Hamg')), 1, udg_AbilityHash )

This worked.

 

[Maker]

• Custom script: call SaveInteger(udg_AbilityHash,Hamg,1,AHbz)

This doesn't work. What's wrong?

• Custom script: call SaveInteger(udg_AbilityHash,'Hamg',1,'AHbz')

 

[shinji]

• Custom script: call SaveInteger(udg_AbilityHash,'Hamg',1,'AHbz')

Thank you. I'll try that.

EDIT :

Trigger

• AI Herp Learn Skill
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Gains a level
  • Conditions
    • ((Owner of (Triggering unit)) controller) Equal to Computer
  • Actions
    • Custom script: set udg_TempAbility = LoadIntegerBJ(GetHandleIdBJ(GetUnitsOfTypeIdAll(GetUnitTypeId(GetTriggerUnit()))), GetHeroLevel(GetTriggerUnit()), udg_AbilityHash)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
          • Conditions
            • (Hero level of (Triggering unit)) Less than or equal to 3
            • (Hero level of (Triggering unit)) Equal to 6
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Add TempAbility to (Triggering unit)
      • Else - Actions
        • Unit - Set level of TempAbility for (Triggering unit) to ((Level of TempAbility for (Triggering unit)) + 1)
    • Custom script: set udg_TempAbility = 0

This won't work. Why???

 

[Bribe]

GetUnitsOfTypeIdAll returns a group, so you will never get the right handle ID there. I think you meant to get a unit who corresponds to that type ID, right?

Yes, I'll try that.

EDIT :

• Custom script: set udg_TempAbility = LoadIntegerBJ(GetHandleIdBJ(GetUnitTypeId(GetTriggerUnit())),GetHeroLevel(GetTriggerUnit()), udg_AbilityHash)

Won't work. I WE will say that it is wrong.

 

[mckill2009]

ParentID's that you can use;
unit, timer, player, group, location, rect, etc...you can even used hashtable as a parentID...

 

[Bribe]

You can't get the handle ID of a unit type ID because handle ID require you to pass a handle, what you passed instead is an integer rawcode.

I didn't get that. What should I do to make this work?

 

[Bribe]

You can't do GetHandleId(GetUnitTypeId(GetTriggerUnit())). Do you mean to store the data TO the triggering unit?

 

[shinji]

You can't do GetHandleId(GetUnitTypeId(GetTriggerUnit())). Do you mean to store the data TO the triggering unit?

I want to save an ability with
Key1 : Unit type of Blademaster
Key2 : Level to learn the ability

Then load it with
Event - Unit gains a level
Load ability
Key1 : Unit type of (Triggering unit)
Key2 : Level of triggering unit
Then make unit learn the saved ability.

Is it possible to do that?

 

[Bribe]

Then don't use GetHandleId, just use GetUnitTypeId directly.

 

[shinji]

Then don't use GetHandleId, just use GetUnitTypeId directly.

Thank you for your help. I'll try that.

EDIT : This maybe a noob question but..

• Custom script: set udg_TempAbility = LoadInteger( GetUnitTypeId(GetTriggerUnit()), GetHeroLevel(GetTriggerUnit()), udg_AbilityHash)

What's wrong with this custom script? WE won't let me use it.

 

[mckill2009]

the first argument must return a hashtable, not an integer...

LoadInteger(hashtable, integer, integer)

 

[shinji]

the first argument must return a hashtable, not an integer...

LoadInteger(hashtable, integer, integer)

Oh. Sorry I don't know much about JASS so I don't know about custom scripts very much. Thank you.

I'll fix it tomorrow. I'm so sleepy.
