[Solved] Item-Type to Unit-Type Problem

[Rasler]

Hello everyone, I have a problem with a system.
To explain, I have units with icons models, which pretend to be buttons in a full-screen menu, so I need to represent the items of the hero of a particular hero, in these units-icons. I am looking for the way to be able to link or bind a type of object, so that it corresponds to a particular type of unit, such that, for example, the Mana Potion Object, is represented by a unit that is modeled on the Object icon Mana Potion.


I tried to somehow store the item in slot 1 of inventory, and by means of previously configured variables, assign a unit-icons to a number, and somehow bind them but I can not solve it. I tried the following method but I am looking for some alternative form that does not occupy the Item Level:

function Trig_SET_SLOT_1_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    set udg_NAME_SLOT1 = GetItemLevel(UnitItemInSlotBJ(udg_HERO, 1))
    set udg_UNIT_ITEMTYPE[1] = 'Hpal'
    set udg_UNIT_ITEMTYPE[2] = 'Hamg'
    set udg_UNIT_ITEMTYPE[3] = 'Hblm'
    call CreateNUnitsAtLoc( 1, udg_UNIT_ITEMTYPE[udg_NAME_SLOT1], Player(0), GetRectCenter(GetPlayableMapRect()), bj_UNIT_FACING )
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_SET_SLOT_1 takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_SET_SLOT_1 = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_SET_SLOT_1, function Trig_SET_SLOT_1_Actions )
endfunction

Well, i think the solution is using Game Cache...any help?

You could use Hashtables this ones allows to save/Load by using any Numbers including Unit Handles or Item/Unit Types.

• Initialisierung
  • Ereignisse
    • Map initialization
  • Bedingungen
  • Aktionen
    • Hashtabelle - Create a hashtable
    • Set Hashtabel = (Last created hashtable)
    • Set Item_Type = Klauen des Angriffs +15
    • Set Unit_Type = Soldat
    • Custom script: call SaveIntegerBJ( udg_Item_Type, 0, udg_Unit_Type, udg_Hashtabel )
    • Custom script: call SaveIntegerBJ( udg_Unit_Type, 0, udg_Item_Type, udg_Hashtabel )

• Load UnitType by ItemType
  • Ereignisse
  • Bedingungen
  • Aktionen
    • Set Item_Type = (Item-type of (Item carried by Paladin 0000 <gen> in slot 1))
    • Custom script: set udg_Unit_Type = LoadIntegerBJ(0, udg_Item_Type, udg_Hashtabel)
    • Unit - Create 1 Unit_Type for Spieler 1 (Rot) at Loc facing Vorgabe 270 degrees

If you use the GUI Hashtable access you need to convert Unit/Item Types to Integer and than can use the provided Hastable actions.

• Initialisierung with Converting
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Bedingungen
  • Actions
    • Hashtabelle - Create a hashtable
    • Set Hashtabel = (Last created hashtable)
    • Set Item_Type = Claws of Attack +15
    • Custom script: set udg_Item_Type_ID = udg_Item_Type
    • Set Unit_Type = Footmen
    • Custom script: set udg_Unit_Type_ID = udg_Unit_Type
    • -------- Bothsided, but would not be needed. --------
    • Hashtabelle - Save Unit_Type_ID as 0 of Item_Type_ID in Hashtabel
    • Hashtabelle - Save Item_Type_ID as 0 of Unit_Type_ID in Hashtabel

• Load UnitType by ItemType with converting
  • Ereignisse
  • Bedingungen
  • Actions
    • Set Item_Type = (Item-type of (Item carried by Hero in slot 1))
    • Custom script: set udg_Item_Type_ID = udg_Item_Type
    • Set Unit_Type_ID = (Load 0 of Item_Type_ID from Hashtabel)
    • Custom script: set udg_Unit_Type = udg_Unit_Type_ID
    • Unit - Create 1 Unit_Type for Player 1 (Rot) at Loc facing Vorgabe 270 degrees

Edit: Here a Testmap showing this with two items, Press Esc to Summon an unit, depending on the item in slot 1. Claws summon Footmen Kelens dagger summons Knights

Brilliant, i used game cache. Is a similar method, many thanks!
