Spawning Unit(s)

[FRENGERS]

Well this vJASS doesn't work :/ :/
Can someone fix it??
I want to spawn a unit
But this vJASS won't work

function SpellTester takes integer u returns unit          // You could return the unit so you can use or referring later...
  set integer u = 'U000'                                   // Apply the unit raw code, don't forget the unitype goes in single quotes
  return CreateUnit(Player(0), u, -1550, -2360, 180)       // Now it has the right arguments...
endfunction

function SomeFunction takes nothing returns nothing
    call CreateUnit(Player(0), 'hpea', 1, 1, 180)
endfunction

this worked for me atleast.

also dont use a argument like that.

function SpellTester takes integer u returns unit          // You could return the unit so you can use or referring later...
  set integer u = 'U000'                                   // Apply the unit raw code, don't forget the unitype goes in single quotes
  return CreateUnit(Player(0), u, -1550, -2360, 180)       // Now it has the right arguments...
endfunction


>>>>>>


function SpellTester takes nothing returns nothing         // You could return the unit so you can use or referring later...
  local integer i = 'U000'                                   // Apply the unit raw code, don't forget the unitype goes in single quotes
  call CreateUnit(Player(0), i, -1550, -2360, 180)       // Now it has the right arguments...
endfunction

function SpellTester takes integer unitType, real x, real y, real f returns unit
    return CreateUnit(Player(0), unitType, x, y, f) 
endfunction

You could then call it like this
local unit u = SpellTester('Hpal', 1000, 500, 180)

What do you want the code to do?
- Create units at a defined position by only passing the unittype as an argument?
- Or just create units of defined type at a defined position without passing any arguments?

€ Oh yea and pleaaaaaaaase next time chose a title for your thread which gives an idea what its about.

 

[FRENGERS]

Well I will trying . . . .
@ muzzel:
What is argument tought??
I just want spawn unit with variables

EDIT:

I have tested it
Well, the unit won't spawn :/ :/

@ Maker:
Well I just want spawn the unit with " call " command

 

[Adiktuz]

an argument is
function name takes argument returns type

 

[FRENGERS]

Uh oh ok TQ
but please help me how to spawn a unit

 

[Adiktuz]

Maker's trigger should spawn a unit unless you give it a non-existent unit id...

 

[FRENGERS]

But I want just using " call " command, not " return " command
EDIT:
Something like this right?? Won't work Y..Y

function SpellTester takes integer u, -1550, -3220, 180 returns unit
    local unit u
    set u =  = SpellTester('U000', -1550, -3220, 180)
    return CreateUnit(Player(0), u, -1550, -3220, 180)
endfunction

 

[muzzel]

I think we all dont really understand what you are trying to do.

Can you please just post your whole trigger (not only the unit creation part)?

 

[FRENGERS]

That is all of it
I just want to Spawn unit at point

 

[sethmachine]

Do you mean just create a unit at some point in the map?

Creating the function itself won't do that, you need to put it in an init function or a trigger action which then does the call for you.

library lib initializer init

private function init takes nothing returns nothing
  local location yourLoc = Loc(coordinateX, coordinateY)
  call CreateUnitAtLoc(Player(0), 'hfoo', yourLoc, 0)
endfunction

endlibrary

This will create a footman for Player 1 at the coordinates given immediately at the start of the map.

Functions can create objects without returning them, just put "takes nothing." The function will still do whatever you asked it. You only return values if you are calculating something another part of your system will need down the road...

Like for example you want to keep track of that unit in particular. Then perhaps you might return it. But I never really return native objects, as they are usually put in auxiliary data structures.

function SpellTester takes integer u, -1550, -3220, 180 returns unit
    local unit u
    set u =  = SpellTester('U000', -1550, -3220, 180)
    return CreateUnit(Player(0), u, -1550, -3220, 180)
endfunction

Change the above to this.

function SpellTester takes integer i returns nothing
    call CreateUnit(Player(0), i, -1550, -3220, 180)
endfunction

If you are trying to pass in the other values do this.

function SpellTester takes integer i, integer i1, integer i2, integer i3 returns nothing
    call CreateUnit(Player(0), i, i1, i2, i3)
endfunction

You should really look into a jass tutorial as you have made a lot of small mistakes that should almost never be made.

@setmachine:
Oh so, that's why haha

Ok TQ everyone :3 :3

private function init takes nothing returns nothing
  local location yourLoc = Loc(coordinateX, coordinateY)
  call CreateUnitAtLoc(Player(0), 'hfoo', yourLoc, 0)
endfunction

why dont simply use the original function lol?

call CreateUnitAtLoc(Player(0), 'hfoo', yourLoc, 0)

Because if you put it in init then it will actually spawn a unit at the start of the map. I am guessing that's all he wants. Outside of init he'd need to call it through an event.

 

[Adiktuz]

@FRENGERS - that should be Location(x,y) not Loc(x,y) I think

 

[FRENGERS]

Ok TQ so much much :3 :3 It's worked!! :3 :3
