-={tWiStÃ„r}=-	how do you make a new line like this in jass? ive tried \|n but it didnt work. could it be i have to have it like "..." + \|n + "..." + \|n + ...? cause right now i have it in the quotes like "...\|n" or is it something totaly different? also how i do i make it show the a units type? like footman. right now it just says Hf00 or whatever.

fugly	Code: function string takes nothing returns string return "hi noob" endfunction jass allows carraiges. and UnitId2StringBJ() takes integer unit type returns string name ex.) UnitId2StringBJ('hfoo') = "Footman"

-={tWiStÃ„r}=-	does it have to be in that form? does it have to be a returned value? edit: ok i got that part to work, but how do you set the name of a custom unit? when i use UnitId2StringBJ('h00u') it returns custom_h00u

fugly	you sure that you gave the unit a name? cause that seems very weird

-={tWiStÃ„r}=-	what do you mean gave it a name? under the Text - Name field it says \|c00007800Foot Soldier\|r

fugly	i don't think that color codes are alound in the name field :(

-={tWiStÃ„r}=-	they are. i have them in like every name and it works fine

09-13-2004, 03:31 AM	#8
fugly	so is it just this 1 unittype that doesn't return a unit type?

09-13-2004, 01:00 PM	#9
-={tWiStÃ„r}=-	no. so far ive tried 2 but i have a feeling its going to be all of them.

PitzerMike	This function will always return custom_xxx for custom units and objects, it's not supposed to return the actual name. Instead it returns the 6th column from UnitUI.slk for existing units and custom_xxx for custom ones. If you want the get the name use GetObjectName from common.j Also you can do carriage returns within string using /n fex: "first line/nsecond line"

-={tWiStÃ„r}=-	hmm \|n didnt work earlier but whatever. so your saying that GetObjectName will work the way i want?

Cubasis	\|n != /n ...

I got it too work. I had to use the GetUnitName which was a bit hard because i had to have it from a variable. so i made my own function.

Code:

function Unittypec2String takes integer t returns string
	local string s = ""
	call CreateNUnitsAtLoc(1, t, Player(PLAYER_NEUTRAL_AGGRESSIVE), GetRectCenter(gg_rct_Heromove), bj_UNIT_FACING )
	set s = GetUnitName(GetLastCreatedUnit())
	call RemoveUnit(GetLastCreatedUnit())
	return s
endfunction

gg_rct_Heromove can be center of map, i just chose that region because it is out of the way. oh and the c in the function title stands for custom because with non-custom units you can usually just use UnitId2String.

	call RemoveUnit(GetLastCreatedUnit())
	return s
endfunction

very handy function but it leaks and is will lag 0.000000000000000002 secs more than needed try this...

Code:

function Unittypec2String takes integer t returns string
	local string s 
        local location where = GetRectCenter(gg_rct_Heromove)
        local unit dummy = CreateUnit(Player(PLAYER_NEUTRAL_AGGRESSIVE), t, GetLocationX(where), GetLocationY(where), 0 )
	set s = GetUnitName(dummy)
	call RemoveUnit(dummy)
        call RemoveLocation(where)
        set where = null
        set dummy = null
	return s
endfunction

you should put this in the jass section
