Unit id and Spawning unit from id

[DsDarkMaster]

i want to make a trigger about if some on types -unitid it will say the units id and when some on types -spawn <id here> it will spawn that unit i am not making cheats i am just curious for a map i am going to make

And the unit ID must be... the rawcode of the unit (e.g.: "hfoo")?, the handle ID of the unit (e.g.: [insert long number here])?, or a custom ID (e.g.: "footman")?

like when i type in -unitid it will come up with a message saying A043 something like that on the selected unit then when i type -spawn A043 it will create that unit
so ye the selected units rawcode will be shown then it will spawn on the units rawcode
if the selected unit was a footman and the selected player types -unitid it will display hfoo then if the user types in -spawn hfoo it will spawn a foot man

I don't think that's possible, not in GUI exactly. You can simulate this by saving the strings beforehand, and when the player types something, you can show them the string and create the unit.

actually unittypes are integers so there is no problem with it
note that unit ids are numbers like 12789234570 (rather long)

• Ini
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Trigger - Add to UnitId <gen> the event (Player - (Picked player) types a chat message containing -unitid as An exact match)
        • Trigger - Add to Spawn <gen> the event (Player - (Picked player) types a chat message containing -spawn as A substring)
• UnitId
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units currently selected by (Triggering player)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set UnitType = (Unit-type of (Picked unit))
        • Custom script: set udg_i = udg_UnitType
        • Game - Display to (All players) for 60.00 seconds the text: (String(i))
• Spawn
  • Events
  • Conditions
    • (Substring((Entered chat string), 1, 7)) Equal to -spawn
  • Actions
    • Set i = (Integer((Substring((Entered chat string), 8, 20))))
    • Custom script: set udg_UnitType = udg_i
    • Game - Display to (All players) for 60.00 seconds the text: (String(UnitType))
    • Set loc = (Point(0.00, 0.00))
    • Unit - Create 1 UnitType for (Triggering player) at loc facing 0.00 degrees
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_loc)

converting a string variable directly to unit type works, too

• Set UnitType = (Unit-type(footman))
