Saving Real numbers to a unit.

[goldenflame]

(idk know if this is the right place to post) however is it possible to save real numbers to a unit using arrays?

 

[TriggerHappy]

Using arrays? Yes, but hashtables would probably be best.

• Actions
  • Set unit_var = Paladin 0000 <gen>
  • Custom script: set udg_UnitID = GetHandleId(udg_unit_var)
  • Hashtable - Save 0.00 as UnitID of 0 in (Last created hashtable)

Ok thanks for that + rep However is it possible to detect level of ability through buff?

 

[Daffa]

Actually, if you mean attaching a number of index to a unit, Unit Indexer will be the best.
You can't detect ability level from buffs, as buff never load any data about the ability level.

I actually use unit indexer its better than using hashes for me but @TriggerHappy's suggestion is good to. Oh, so it really impossible ,therefore; i need to create 15 buffs for 1 spell just to detect it.

What's wrong with GetUnitAbilityLevel?

 

[goldenflame]

Well i think i cant use that in my spell i wanted to create an aura spell in which whenever a unit goes under the effect of the aura will save a real number to it, and it needs the level of the spell for the formula.

Can this be moved to the Trigger and Script Section??

^You need to store the enum unit or picked unit into the variable because you use it so many times, Anyway why did you destroy the group for?, Use [TRIGGER][/TRIGGER] tags instead of just screenshot it. Are you using UnitIndexer? store the GetUnitUserData ( udg_PickedUnit ) into the variable. Maybe showing the full triggers.

 

[goldenflame]

I believe, just to remove the leak? anyways i use unit indexer. Bribe's indexer.

I mean why you destroy the tempgroup[0] if you're looping it every 0.03 seconds when not setted before in the loop?/
If you will only need it once then put the group into the execution, not in the loop. But if you want it to loop it every 0.03 seconds then put it in the loop without destroying the group because destroying the group will make the group destroyed and will not loop through-in anymore.

What's wrong with GetUnitAbilityLevel?

I think he want's to check the level of the ability from the buff the unit has. But buffs always return level 1, no matter what the actual level is.

Do not use 0.03 second loop, a 0.5 second interval might be low enough.

 

[goldenflame]

Thanks for the tip @jakeZinc but thats not the problem. Ok i will also do that @Maker anyways ill just revised my trigger thanks to all of you.

Instead of saving the level of spell, why not you just save the actual value that needs to be saved ?
Like, you want to save the level of spell aura because you need to multiply it with 5, how about your store the calculated value ?

Also, does your map allows the unit possessing this aura to be more than one in the game's life time ?

Example:
Hero A comes near a unit, and gains Level 2 Aura.
Hero B comes near a unit and Hero A, both unit and Hero A gets Level 3 Aura (based on current Level of Hero B - the highest).

Is that scenario possible in your map ?

You also could simply give every level of your Aura another Buff which is similar but has the editor specic (level 1,2,3,...), because you can detect the specific buffs. The rest should be easy.
