Loading a Variable as a Key in Hastables

[Testiclies]

I'm new to using hashtables, but they're amazing. Unfortunately, I don't know how to make my trigger cleaner by loading a variable as my key for retrieving info.

• Protective Sweep
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Protective Sweep - Def Q
  • Actions
    • Set Def_Prot_Caster = (Casting unit)
    • -------- Retrieving Stats --------
    • Set Combat_AttackPower = (Load 4 of (Key (Casting unit)) from Combat_Hash)
    • Set Combat_CritChance = (Load 6 of (Key (Casting unit)) from Combat_Hash)
    • Set Combat_CritPower = (Load 7 of (Key (Casting unit)) from Combat_Hash)
    • -------- ------------ --------

This is what my trigger looks like, but I want to be able to replace the "(Key(Casting unit))" with "(Key(Def_Prot_Caster))" but I can't find any way to.
Is it possible? Or even necessary at all? I prefer it that way just because it looks cleaner, but I can deal if it's unnecessary or more difficult than it needs to be.

Thoughts?

there are only one option in that case.
you need to use some jass sorry.

• Custom script: set udg_integer = GetHandleId(udg_unit)

you need 2 GUI variables to use that. 1 integer variable named integer and one unit variable named unit. Put this script at the top of the actions and then use it as a key. (you can change the names ofc but the "udg_" needs to be there)
