JASS Error

function SetCheck takes ability a returns nothing
if ( not ( a == 'ANab' ) ) then

says

Comparing two variables of different primitive types is not allowed.

How do i fix this? lol. i just want to check if the ability is this specific ability

 

[Maker]

a = ability
'ANab' = integer

GetAbilityId(a) == 'ANab'

Or was it AbilityId(a). Anyway, if you're using JNGP it is easy to find out.

that returns a string

Well at least there's GetSpellAbiliyId(). Post more code to see what you're doing.

GetSpellAbillityId works. ty

Erm. remove the solved tag because i misunderstood what you said. That function doesn't work for my needs. I need to get an ability variable's rawcode. Is that so hard..

 

[Maker]

Why are you using ability type anyway? Ability codes are integers. Why does your function take ability? I always use integers, never ability type.

The base trigger is GUI and im using the function to set some variables based on what the ability is I guess u can reset this as solved because cant i use GetSpellAbilityId() as the integer in GUI?

 

[Maker]

Set abilityTypeVariable = ability
Custom script: set udg_integerVariable = udg_abilityTypeVariable

That should work.

That should do it in GUI. You can also use GetSpellAbilityId in a custom script. GetSpellAbilityId is Ability being cast.

Ability is the most useless type in the history of useless types
Same goes for unittype, itemtype and agent

Well, agent has been proven to be useful by Nestharus, but it's use is very limited.

Just like to get Raw ID for Items and Units from the Object Editor

• Custom script: set udg_IntegerVariable = udg_YourItem

This is to get the Raw ID of Item from the Object Editor.

• Custom script: set udg_IntegerVariable = udg_YourUnit

This is to get the Raw ID of Unit from the Object Editor.

Please do not necro threads over one month since the last post.

This was an uber-necropost
Still, a response like that is always helpful for someone who might have the same problem roaming the threads ;3
