Saving a unit group in a hashtable

[spencenator]

Possible? I found a function that was save Unitpool handel, but it doesn't seem to be working. Or the issue could be that the units aren't being saved. Here is the trigger:

trigger

• Upon Cast
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Force Of Nature Gone Awry
  • Actions
    • Set Temp_Loc = (Target point of ability being cast)
    • Hashtable - Save Handle Of(Units within (((Real((Level of Force Of Nature Gone Awry for (Triggering unit)))) x 75.00) + 75.00) of Temp_Loc) as Trees of (Key (Triggering unit)) in Troubled_Treant_Hash
    • Hashtable - Save Handle OfTemp_Loc as Ability_Target of (Key (Triggering unit)) in Troubled_Treant_Hash
    • Hashtable - Save 0 as Timer_Tick of (Key (Triggering unit)) in Troubled_Treant_Hash
    • Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to First_Stage
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Loc)

It starts out as force of nature, so it creates a bunch of summons. I'm trying to save all of those summons in a unit group hashed to the caster, then load them later in this trigger segment:

Segment

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Load Trees of (Key (Picked unit)) in Troubled_Treant_Hash) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Set Temp_Loc = (Position of (Picked unit))
    • Unit Group - Add (Picked unit) to Flying_Trees_Up
    • Unit - Create 1 JetFire for (Owner of (Picked unit)) at Temp_Loc facing Default building facing degrees
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: POW
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Loc)
    • Hashtable - Save Handle Of(Last created unit) as Fire of (Key (Picked unit)) in Troubled_Treant_Hash

Something is causing these units to not be saved properly, or not be loaded properly, or WHATEVER, because that little debug line in the second bit (the "POW") never shows up in game. Any help would be appreciated.

I don't understand this "Load Key of Key" crap. It works far better in JASS -
LoadGroupHandle(hash, ParentKey, ChildKey)
Not to mention GUI hashtables crash the editor.

No offense, but if can't help me with my current, pressing, issue, why did you post? I really don't want to learn jass right now since this is for the zephyr challenge. Although you did prove that it's possible to save a unit group to a hashtable.

EDIT: whoops, i was using "save group handle", not the unitpool one. I just tried unitpool, however, and it was the first time my editor crashed. The odd thing is that this happened right after i read Bribe's statement. Bribe, are you physic?

Hence why you shouldn't write nonsense like "why did you post?" when I was clearly helping you.

Didn't fix anything. Anywho, I'm reorganizing everything. It seems to have issues saving the summons to any sort of unit group, so I'm going to look at each one separately. This reorganization seems to have made my other trigger fail to save a number to my timer tick, however, so it's still broken.

This doesn't work anymore

• Hashtable - Save ((Load Timer_Tick of (Key (Picked unit)) from Troubled_Treant_Hash) + 1) as Timer_Tick of (Key (Picked unit)) in Troubled_Treant_Hash

That tick gets stuck at 1

Is the hashtable simply bugged? or am i missing something stupid?

EDIT: Problem solved, i made a very silly mistake in another trigger. Thanks anyways bribe (+rep).

EDIT2: whoops, can't +rep, ah well, thanks
