[Trigger] Save/Load Unit HandleID

[Meticulous]

Trigger

• Actions
  • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at loc facing 90.00 degrees
  • Set unit = (Last created unit)
  • Set unit2 = Circle of Power 0001 <gen>
  • Custom script: set udg_int = GetHandleId(udg_unit)
  • Custom script: set udg_int2 = GetHandleId(udg_unit2)
  • Hashtable - Save int2 as 1 of int in Table
  • Hashtable - Save int as 1 of int2 in Table

Trigger2

• Actions
  • Set unit = (Triggering unit)
  • Custom script: set udg_int = GetHandleId(udg_unit)
  • Set unit2 = (Load 1 of int in Table)
  • Custom script: set udg_int2 = GetHandleId(udg_unit2)
  • Game - Display to (All players) for 5.00 seconds the text: (String(int))
  • Game - Display to (All players) for 5.00 seconds the text: (String(int2))

When I save/load the second unit's HandleID in this manner it returns 0. What am I fucking up and how do I do it right?

Read this, although it is in JASS but it applies for GUI.

I remember a time when "GetHandleId()" and saving it, wasn't working, but "SaveUnitHandle()" did work. I guess it should be the same, but, somehow, one works, the other doesn't.

Thanks for the quick response. Converting the ID to a real and then back to an integer when I need it worked, but I'm still thoroughly confused as to why.
