Help with Unit Objects and Unit Ownership

12-06-2009, 06:18 PM

Alright, my problem is when I call "SetUnitOwner", it wants me to pass a unit object, but I have a long list of locations, so I am looping them. But when attempting to pass a joined string of the unit, it tells me I "cannot convert string to unit". I have looked everywhere for a function that I can call to convert the object ID to a unit object with no luck. If I pass the actual string, no quotes of course. It treats it like a unit object just fine, but the location number needs to be dynamic based on my array list.

JASS:

call SetUnitOwner(gg_unit_hbar_0001, Player(0), true ) // WORKS

JASS:

call SetUnitOwner("gg_unit_hbar_"+Locations[c], Player(0), true ) // DOES NOT WORK

I have already tried using a group instead of an array and tried using a unit array, both say undeclared variable "gg_unit_hbar_xxxx", where xxxx = object ID

JASS:

 

        local string array Locations

        set Locations[0] = "0056"
    set Locations[1] = "0145"
    set Locations[2] = "0151"
    set Locations[3] = "0148"
    set Locations[4] = "0154"
    set Locations[5] = "0157"

        set c = 0
        loop
            exitwhen c >= 4
                        
            // Assign Ownership

            //call SetUnitOwner(gg_unit_hbar_0001, Player(0), true )
            call SetUnitOwner("gg_unit_hbar_"+Locations[c], Player(0), true )
     
            set c = c + 1
        endloop

ploks	gg_unit_hbar_0001 is a global variable poiting to a unit. The name of the variable can't be manipulated by other functions. To do this you need to use textmacros. I don't know however if looping textmacros have been added yet.

Anitarf	What you need is a unit array. JASS: local unit array u set u[0]=gg_unit_hbar_0056 set u[1]=gg_unit_hbar_0145 set u[2]=gg_unit_hbar_0151 //... call SetUnitOwner(u[c], Player(0), true ) Of course, that's a terrible way to go about doing this, but it's the closest thing to what you got that works.
