[Trigger] Is this possible with hashtables?

[tml616]

This bothers be that I can't seem to find a way to do this.

When you assign a hashtable key:

save (udg_temp_real) as key(damage) of key("Event Response - Triggering Unit) in (udg_Hashtable_01)

If I have a unit stored as udg_temp_unit, why can't I do this:

save (udg_temp_real) as key(damage) of key(udg_temp_unit) in (udg_Hashtable_01)

I get around this by doing:

Unit Group - add (udg_temp_unit) to (udg_temp_group)
Pick All units in (udg_temp_group) and do actions:
- save (udg_temp_real) as key(damage) of key(Picked Unit) in (udg_Hashtable_01)

but it seems like there should be a way to do this. Can anyone help?

• Custom script: set udg_temp_real = GetHandleId(udg_temp_unit)

for some stupid reason blizzard disabled that is is possible to use variables in GUI as a parameter for GetHandleId
just use this line of custom script and it should work

edit:
if u are using the non-BJ version maker mantioned you should make sure to switch the array indexes (they are swapped)

You can use this custom script. It's just converted from GUI. I believe there is a better alternative, without that BJ. I'll try to look it up.

• Custom script: call SaveRealBJ( udg_Temp_Real_1, StringHash("damage"), GetHandleId(udg_Temp_Unit_2), udg__Hash )

(Save what real as something for some unit in hash)

thanks, I thought handles were integers or I might have figured that trick out

 

[PurgeandFire]

The faster alternative Maker mentioned is:

• Custom Script: call SaveReal(udg__Hash,GetHandleId(udg_Temp_Unit_2),StringHash("damage"),udg_Temp_Real_1)

=) SaveRealBJ is just basically slower, with swapped parameters.

Another question related to this:

  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Unit-type of GDD_DamageSource) Equal to D.RNG-1 Searing Arrow
      • Then - Actions
        • Set temp_point = (Position of GDD_DamageSource)
        • Unit - Create 1 D.RNG Arrow Source for (Owner of GDD_DamageSource) at temp_point facing Default building facing degrees
        • Custom script: call SaveReal(udg_H_RNG_SearingArrow,GetHandleId(udg_GDD_DamagedUnit),StringHash("duration"),3)
        • Custom script: call SaveReal(udg_H_RNG_SearingArrow,GetHandleId(udg_GDD_DamagedUnit),StringHash("damage"),2)
        • Countdown Timer - Start T_RNG_ArrowRemove as a One-shot timer that will expire in 0.00 seconds
      • Else - Actions

I want to save handle of "Last Created Unit" as "source" of key(udg_GDD_DamagedUnit) in H_RNG_SearingArrow

I tried BSing from
Custom script:

call SaveReal(udg_H_RNG_SearingArrow,GetHandleId(udg_GDD_DamagedUnit),StringHash("damage"),2)

into
Custom script:

call SaveUnitHandle(udg_H_RNG_SearingArrow,GetHandleId(udg_GDD_DamagedUnit),StringHash("source"),GetHandleId(LastCreatedUnit))

but it didn't work


And to be sure, the 2 lines of custom I have in that trigger are doing this:

Save 3 as "duration" of key(udg_GDD_DamagedUnit) in (udg_H_RNG_SearingArrow)
Save 2 as "damage" of key(udg_GDD_DamagedUnit) in (udg_H_RNG_SearingArrow)

• GetHandleId(LastCreatedUnit))

That should be

• GetHandleId(GetLastCreatedUnit()))

 

[tml616]

I added that and then I get bogus error messages saying

call RemoveLocation(udg_temp_point)

is an invalid argument type (integer)

So I delete that line and then it does the same thing with a timer and ruins the whole trigger

Everything below the save real custom scripts errors calling "invalid argument" - integer

Lol, and here I totally guessed and of course got it wrong. I want the second "Else" to have

Remove unit from game: load "source" of key(udg_GDD_DamagedUnit) from H_RNG_SearingArrow

My guess was:

call RemoveUnit(GetHandleId(udg_H_RNG_SearingArrow,GetHandleId(udg_GDD_DamagedUnit),StringHash("source")))

based on converting a Remove Unit into custom text

I knew this damn ranger hero would be the biggest pain in the ass all because of arrow spells and damage detecting

----------

besides downloading the jass helper and typing stuff in, is there any way to know if I'm right when I guess besides waiting for the map to error?

Wait, you save a unit, not a handle in general.

• GetHandleId(GetLastCreatedUnit()))

this should be

• (GetLastCreatedUnit())
