Object editor reference from trigger editor

TheWye	Hi, just wanna know something. Is there any way to refer to values in the object editor from the trigger editor? Like for instance the icon string path for a unit?

You can get the Art and Sound effects from Abilities, but that's it:

JASS:

native GetAbilityEffect             takes string abilityString, effecttype t, integer index returns string
native GetAbilityEffectById         takes integer abilityId, effecttype t, integer index returns string
native GetAbilitySound              takes string abilityString, soundtype t returns string
native GetAbilitySoundById          takes integer abilityId, soundtype t returns string

You could probably use some sort of external tool to analyze the map's object data and then make that into a database script that contains all the relevant information for you to access in-game if you wanted to.

Actually... that'd be really cool if it worked.

0zyx0	You can't get all object editor data, but for units you can use the point-value. You can store multiple things in one integer, or you can use it as an index to get a value from an array.

TheWye	Right.. ah thats too bad.. I want to get the icon pictures of certain abilities so I can display it in my multiboard without needing to define every icon path manually. Anyway, thanks for the info guys :)
