Storing and managing a specific unit

[Evolex]

Hey guys!

I was wondering if there is a cleaner or more efficient way on handling a specific unit throughout the game.
I am currently working with a unit-group array that has a unit group for every player in which the main hero of every player is stored.

Here's the way I'm storing them:

• Unit Group - Add (tempUnit) to UnitGroupArray[tempInteger]

And here's the way I'm calling them:

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in UnitGroupArray[tempInteger] and do (Action)

I would love to hear other ideas. Thanks!

the main hero of every player

Can players have more than one hero? If not then just use a unit array instead of a group array. If multiple heroes (and every player doesn't necessarily have the same number) then the group is an acceptable solution.

Oh wow, I always thought the unit variable wouldn't keep hero levels and so on, but I guess that's the Unit-Type variable. Thanks for enlighting me and letting me check back on that. I'll switch from Unit-Group to Unit then, because I'm currently not planning on having more than one hero for each player.

Thanks Pyro!

Yes a unit variable points to the specific unit you assign it to. This persists through death and revival. If you ever use the “Replace Unit” command (which I wouldn’t recommend) the variable will not be re-assigned automatically, you’ll have to do it yourself.
