[Inquiry] Syntax Error?

[xorkatoss]

Could somebody help me with this code? Idk what I'm doing wrong=/
vJass Class Practice Lesson 14 P2

/*
*   Declare a unit array called riflez
*
*       Set position 1424 to a rifleman created for Player 3 at position 1.234, -1.234 with facing 182.2
*
*   Run the map
*/

//! runtextmacro Variables()
unit array riflez
//! runtextmacro Actions()
set riflez[1424] = CreateUnit(Player(2), '000', 1.234, -1.234, 182.2)
//! runtextmacro End_Code()

EDIT:
This problem is solved, thnx everyone!

Remove the word native

 

[xorkatoss]

Remove the word native

oh wow, thnx for the help!

 

[edo494]

also the returns unit should not be there, you did 2 things in 1, its half declaration of function(native) and half calling the function

 

[xorkatoss]

also the returns unit should not be there, you did 2 things in 1, its half declaration of function(native) and half calling the function

so the final outcome is:

set u[1424] = CreateUnit(Player(2), '000', 1.234, -1.234, 182.2)

right?

thnx for the help aswell!

well no, you forgot the first letter in the ASCII

CreateUnit(#,'000',#,#,#)

unit ASCII indentifiers (rawcodes) are always 4 characters

 

[edo494]

you can even use 'a', it will just convert to ASCII(a), it will not throw errors, just not spawn anything

 

[xorkatoss]

yeah well the actually code was

set u[1424] = CreateUnit(Player(2), 'hfoo', 1.234, -1.234, 182.2)

idk why i putted 000 in there while pasting it

you can even use 'a', it will just convert to ASCII(a), it will not throw errors, just not spawn anything

well yeah but the problem wasn't the unit id lol, anyway thnx to everyone for helping, this is already solved!

Btw


what is 'hfoo'? : P


also, what's the dif between position and index for arrays? What would the position of 1424 be as an index?

 

[xorkatoss]

what is 'hfoo'? : P

hfoo is the UnitID, in this case h stands for "human" and foo stands for "footman" so it gives HumanFootman
another example is "hpal" which gives HumanPaladin.

If you go in Object Editor -> Units and press Ctrl + D you can see the ID of every unit.

also, what's the dif between position and index for arrays? What would the position of 1424 be as an index?

position and index are the same thing i think although not 100% sure.
I'm still a beginner jasser so it's better if you ask a more experienced jasser for that

 

[Almia]

Wow,im shocked that Nestharus doesnt know some unit raw codes

 

[edo494]

everyone working with Jass knows what 'hfoo' is, Nestharus knows it too, he "proved it" in one of his tutorial videos
and noone knows all rawcodes even through they are intuitive, you wont know rawcode of lets say Furbolg Ursa Warrior if you dont check it

 

[Nestharus]

I was pointing those things out for a reason =)

yeah, memorizing them all is hard and IMO pointless since you can easily find them.

 

[Nestharus]

nvm

i think that you did this on purpose so as not to give away the answer =)

Excuse me? I did what? with what purpose? i don't understand >_<
