[doom_sheep]

is there some way around it?

 

[ap0calypse]

You can use indexing instead of hashtables: requires more variables (and time), but it does work.

Save it as a string or integer.If you need it then load it by its raw data name(like footmans name is 'hufo)'. That should work. Im not sure if it is possible with GUI

 

[Catch_ya]

It is not 'hufo'. And you can't save the rawcode in GUI. (-.-) But you can save a unit-type which is rawcode of a unit. But you can't save an ability's rawcode.

Here, this test map shows you how to do it.
How to try it:
Get the paladin to cast Holy Light on Mountain King. After 1 second (timer, assigned via hashtable), the Mountain King will be given a Holy Light ability.
View attachment Add Ability via Hashtable.w3x

You cans ave strings. just convert the rawcode to a string to save it and convert it back when you need it. Im still not sure if it could be used in GUI, but maybe you try some custom scripts next time.

Custom scripts is Jass.

 

[SlayerII]

wow 100 points for you
he is using GUI, so thats a solution if he wants to do something which is not possible with gui

 

[Catch_ya]

wow 100 points for you

Oh yea, now I got 100 points more than you.

Im still not sure if it could be used in GUI, but maybe you try some custom scripts next time.

Just do everything in Jass then. If he is going to need custom scripts anyway and know how to work with them.

all these things are integers. so just save them in integers... >_> "unit-type" is just a disguise for an integer.

Blizzard did it again.

so ability type's an integer. how do i get that?

 

[Darkt3mpl3r]

oh wait, you're talking about the handle 'ability' right? sigh - well, abilityIds are in fact integers displayed like this 'A000', whilst the handle ability itself is .. uh - got no information for this because it never used it and I really dont think that u will ever need it?

 

[Catch_ya]

the ability handle is useless.. since the only GUI function for that is ability being cast.

 

[doom_sheep]

its a spell that steals an ability from another unit and i need the stolen spell to be removed when he uses a sub skill.

remover it with the ability id.

 

[doom_sheep]

and how do i get that >_<

 

[Darkt3mpl3r]

via the function GetSpellAbilityId() or in gui: set yourIntegerVariable = AbilityBeingCast

 

[Catch_ya]

set yourIntegerVariable = AbilityBeingCast

You can't do that.

 

[doom_sheep]

in gui i would need to put an integer to set an integer type variable and i dont think it can find the ID. but i could set the variable with JASS, right? how exactly would that be?
