WE Error?

[I_H8_U_M8]

I have tried 3 times to set an ability handler for world editor, and every time, when I go to select an ability WE crashes. Can anyone else try this to confirm if this is a WE Error, or that My WE is just flawed. Thanks.

It's not just you, that function doesn't work in WE.

What do you need it for, maybe there's an alternative way to tackle the problem.

I don't help figuring out an alternative. Why does this not work? Im Obviously needing it to save an ability in my hash table . Hast tables are good cause they are two dimensional arrays Which is usefull when normal arrays in WE can only be of one dimension.

but blizzard was to lazy to make many variable types work in gui hashtables
however you can use a line of custom script:

• Custom Script: call SaveAbilityHandle(udg_hashtable, udg_integer, udg_integer2, udg_ability)

since abilities are integer values you could also save them as that (but not in GUI again)

• Custom Script: udg_integer = udg_ability
• Hashtable - Save Integer integer as 0 of 0 in hashtable

might work, too

or if you need a 2d array with fixed padding of x you could save your stuff like this:
array[i*x+n] = value
where n is x-1

indexing systems are just better x) (except for the 1-2 cases where you really need more than 8000 array values or dynamic 2d-arrays)

Yes that is what I did D4RK, I just made a "2D array" Curse you blizzard! lol.. I hope they spend more time and effort on starcraft 2 updates
