problem with raw data

[Kazeon]

I have a code like this

• call CreateDestructableZ('udg_BE_LibEmptyIcon', GetLocationX(udg_BE_Point[1]), GetLocationY(udg_BE_Point[1]), udg_BE_ConfMinCamHeight+(udg_BE_PlayerNumb*udg_BE_ConfCamSpacing), 270, 1, 1)

where BE_LibEmptyIcon is a string variable with value = B000
but when I tried to save it, there is an error with message "Expected a valid argument list". Anyone knows how to fix it?

'' is for literals, you can write 'B000', which reprents an integer. But you cannot convert a string this way. Either save 'B000' in an integer variable and pass that one or use a conversion function like http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/jass-resources-412/snippet-ascii-190746/

umm, thnks a lot, but I'm not good at JASS, no, I don't understand anything about JASS. but what I get is I can make a function that converts integer into raw code right? so what kind of value that the function will return?

 

[PurgeandFire]

Why don't you make the BE_LibEmptyIcon an integer variable? Then you can just set it like this:

• Custom script: set udg_BE_LibEmptyIcon = 'B000'

The single quotes ' ' around B000 indicates that it is a rawcode (and it will be converted to an actual integer).

Then you would use it directly in the CreateDestructableZ, without the single quotes ' ':

• Custom script: call CreateDestructableZ(udg_BE_LibEmptyIcon, GetLocationX(udg_BE_Point[1]), GetLocationY(udg_BE_Point[1]), udg_BE_ConfMinCamHeight+(udg_BE_PlayerNumb*udg_BE_ConfCamSpacing), 270, 1, 1)

Unless you really need udg_BE_LibEmptyIcon to be a string. You really shouldn't need to have it as a string.

so that single quotes will read an integer value as a raw data?
this is cool, thnks a lot for helping I can't give you rep+ I will give it later

 

[TriggerHappy]

so that single quotes will read an integer value as a raw data?

I believe only if the input is of length 1 or 4, meaning

//valid
'rawc'
'a'
// not valid
'raw'
'rawcode'
