[JASS] Item Type Variable in JASS?

[PrisonLove]

What is it in JASS? I have it set as a string, but it's giving me errors when I do this:

local string ItemType = GetItemTypeId(GetManipulatedItem())

So how would I label an Item type in JASS, what type of variable is it?

GetItemTypeId() returns an integer. You would have obviously known this if you would have LOOKED AT THE FREAKING FUNCTION.

Okay buddy, I'm not a JASS expert, no need to be asshole.

He is not an asshole, he is just advising you to check the functions before starting useless threads like this. Btw, flaming is really dangerous here, I give you a hint - care your expressions.

I'm not flaming, perhaps I don't know how to check functions? Also, last I checked, typing in all caps is equal to yelling and that's very unnecessary.

You're the one who typed it.

Maybe he just wants to make sure you see it.

By the way, if you want to get the item name, use GetObjectName( item type id here )
This one returns a string xD

I'm not sure what you mean by that first line. In response to second line, given his word choice and which words were capitalized I doubt he merely wanted me to see it.

 local string ItemType
 set ItemType = GetItemName(GetManipulatedItem())

And guys, please grow up. This kind of behavior belongs in 4chan.

GetItemTypeId() returns an integer. You would have obviously known this if you would have LOOKED AT THE FREAKING FUNCTION.

All quite correct, of course, but very unhelpful.

EDIT:
As PurplePoot pointed out, i was completly wrong. I thought you wanted a string with the name of the item type.
After re-reading the first post I see that I've not answered the question at hand.
I hope this helps more:

 local integer ItemType = GetUnitTypeId(GetManipulatedItem())

 

[PurplePoot]

You likely mean local string itemType = GetItemName(GetManipulatedItem()), but that isn't the item type.

Well if he doesn't have TESH than there's no other way to check the functions parameters without external programs.

Vanilla WE doesn't include a function-list.

 

[PurplePoot]

TESH is an external program.

Anyhow, they should be using utilities.

 

[TriggerHappy]

TESH is an external program.

Well, it's injected into the world editor, I don't think you can manually execute it.

You know what I mean -_-

I don't have TESH or any external programs, I simply have the Vanilla Editor. Thanks for understanding.


And thanks Bomi, that helped a lot.

Download JNGP. Scripting jass in a vanilla editor is like punching yourself in the face. You can do it, but do you really want to?

I have a mac, unfortunately there aren't many third party programs for the mac.

 

[PurplePoot]

I just dual boot.

Same here, but I don't get my UNIX fix from a mac. *rolls eyes*
