[Solved] "Remove Ability/Buff" in jass with strings?

[Killd0zer]

I need to remove abilities and buffs with custom code, however im not exactly sure how. Im trying to make a system but you can't save abilities in hashtables so im trying to save the string of the ability, then remove ability with the ability code as a string.

In theory it would be something like "remove "udg _ability from target" but I don't have any clue for the syntax.

Sorry if this is sloppy im on my phone

first thing ability ids are not strings they are integers. More exact they are ascii values.
'hpea' is a peasant.

here is an easy way to remove them. one sec

• Custom script: call UnitRemoveAbility( udg_tempUnit, udg_tempInt)

u can set the tempUnit to whatever u need it to b4 this action and set tempInt before this to the ability u want it to be.

like this

• Actions
  • Set tempUnit = (Triggering unit)
  • Set tempInt = urAbilityArray[0]
  • Custom script: call UnitRemoveAbility( udg_tempUnit, udg_tempInt)

note: u have to store ur abilities raw code into the array.

if its in the same trigger that u use to cast it then u can use this

• Custom script: call UnitRemoveAbility( udg_tempUnit, GetSpellAbilityId())

Ah yes this is just what I needed, but is there something similar for buffs?

 

[deathismyfriend]

a buff is an ability. so just use this same thing and use the buff id

I hate to post again, but I can't seem to set the integer to equal the ascii code. Do i set Temp_Into to convert string to integer? or how do I do this?

atually i think u need to use custom script for that i always forget about that in GUI.

if u use the ones i gave u with the tempInt use this

• Custom script: set udg_tempInt = 'hpea'

change the hpea part and leave those ' in
