Region comparison

[Spectre]

Is there a condition that can check if two regions (one in a Region variable, the other in a hashtable) could be compared, to see if they are equal?

You can use GetHandleId() to get the handle ids.

Yes, but that doesn't answer my question. That only returns a pointer to an object. My question was how to check if 2 regions are the same, when they are stored as variables. And I'm using the GUI. Is it possible to compare handle ids (GUI or JASS)?

• Untitled Trigger 104
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: if GetHandleId(region1) == GetHandleId(region2) then
    • Game - Display to Player Group - Player 1 (Red) the text: Same
    • Custom script: else
    • Game - Display to Player Group - Player 1 (Red) the text: Different
    • Custom script: endif

If you are using GUI variables then add udg_ prefix. If region1 is the variable's name then: GetHandleId(udg_region1)

Thanks! I ended up taking a different route by creating a reference table (all integers), but +Rep anyhow for the free knowledge. I'll likely make use of it in the future.
