[JASS] If unit has item condition

[Quetzalcotl]

Hello Hiveworkshop,

I was just busy with a trigger and I was wondering if there is a non-BJ version of UnitHasItemOfTypeBJ. If there is, please let me know.

Copy the BJs' content into your own function and it is no longer BJ. Instead of looping through the inventory you may also catch and directly attach the data when the unit acquires/drops the item.

I think that UnitHasItemOfType() exists. Googling "jass unithasitemoftype" yields plenty of results, so unless lots of people forgot to put BJ at the end, it should be a working function.

Copy the BJs' content into your own function and it is no longer BJ.

I don't know how that would help though. I don't think the only reason that Quetzalcotl wants a non-BJ alternative is so that he doesn't have to type the "BJ". I'm sure there is some difference in using BJ functions as opposed to non-BJ functions (although I don't yet know what it is).

I appreciate the posts. I have tried UnitHasItemOfType() with the BJ but it gave an error so I guess it doesn't exist. The reason why I'd rather not use the BJ version is because I have been told that BJ's are inefficient.

Hmm. It seems that UnitHasItemOfType() is a vJASS function, as you can see it's not highlighted in JASS tags:

if UnitHasItemOfType(myUnit, myItemType) then
    //nyorgmashmorg
endif

Unlike UnitHasItemOfTypeBJ():

if UnitHasItemOfTypeBJ(myUnit, myItemType) then
    //nyorgmashmorg
endif

If you want you can use vJASS just to do that, but if that's the only function you would compile in vJASS for, then I suggest just using UnitHasItemOfTypeBJ(), it should be fine.

Okey, thanks for your effort.
