Need help to add locust to a unit array

[Ghullie]

Hey, I'm wondering if someone can help me write custom script because my JASS skills are non-existent.

Basically I need to add Locust to an array of units from 1-6

example:

• For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
  • call UnitAddAbilityBJ( 'Aloc', udg_DefenderUnitStack[Integer A] )

I will later need to remove it the same way.

udg_DefenderUnitStack[bj_forLoopAIndex]
When you have doubts, simply do it without custom script, use with the loop A variable in GUI and convert the trigger to custom text, there you can see how it is done.

Great, thanks for the info. I ended up circumventing it by

• For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Set VariableSet TempUnit = DefenderUnitStack[(Integer A)]
    • Custom script: call UnitAddAbilityBJ( 'Aloc', udg_TempUnit )

That was well and easy, but it has become apparent that removing locust from a unit isn't as simple as you'd think. Has anyone found any good methods?
I've thought about completely replacing the unit with a copy, but the problem is I need it to keep its buffs and items...
And using a transform ability won't do me any good because I'd have to create one for each unit type

Some have found almost perfect methods. But none are perfect as far as I am aware. Locust is not an ability you want to add and remove.
