[JASS] What is the JASS for: Disable a Players Ability by ID?

[Cardinian]

Hey,

So I'm trying to learn JASS through converting the GUI and trying to understand the syntax etc...

JASS

function Trig_DisableShare_Copy_Func001002 takes nothing returns nothing
call SetPlayerAbilityAvailableBJ( false, 'Aall', GetEnumPlayer() )
endfunction

function Trig_DisableShare_Copy_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
call ForForce( GetPlayersAll(), function Trig_DisableShare_Copy_Func001002 )
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_DisableShare_Copy takes nothing returns nothing
set gg_trg_DisableShare_Copy = CreateTrigger( )
call TriggerRegisterTimerEventSingle( gg_trg_DisableShare_Copy, 1.00 )
call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_DisableShare_Copy, function Trig_DisableShare_Copy_Actions )
endfunction

It is this line here I think I need to change:

call SetPlayerAbilityAvailableBJ( false, 'Aall', GetEnumPlayer() )

Should the function 'SetPlayerAbility...' be something different, ie, SetPlayer...ById?
'Aall' - should this be the ID of the ability I want to disable ('852566')

Thanks Hivers

First off, use the non-bj version:

call SetPlayerAbilityAvailable (GetEnumPlayer(), 'Aall', false)

"ById": Abilities are integer values by default. Even if that 'Aall' seemingly looks like a string, it's an integer, so, the parameter that takes the ability always requires an integer value.

So, 'Aall' and '852566' are the same thing? And are both recognized as Integers?

Remember, you helped me with this a while ago:
call IssueTargetOrderById (GetEnumUnit(), 852566, GetEnumUnit())

That would work as 'Aall' as well? Just curious here!

Yes, it will work. 'Aall' is the ability's rawcode, when 852xxx is the internal id of the engine.

To be even more correct, 'Aall' is hex and will return 852566 as decimal value.
You can use both since JASS supports usage of hex values.
