With the custom values related to the SPECIFIC unit... I can't figure it out! Why i want to set custom values is becuase.. I want to be able to have.. multiple heros of the same type with the same summoning skill. except when they resummon these units the old ones die. or when they summon more then a summoned cap, one of the summons will die. i cannot use pick all units of type because if you have more then 1 of the summoning hero there is no real way to tell which summon's were summoned by which unit. so you cannot really effective kill the propper summon. AND no feral spirit is not what im looking for. |

You can use the gamecache to store as many information about a hero/unit/whatever as you like that is efficient to look up and store. |

if you want to store a unit in custom value, you need to use the return bug. search for that, lots of info. |

where can i find information on using the game cache, and etc. Are there any good code examples on it? |

Try to use the functions here. Here is a little example that allows only one summon per unit - regardless of type: Code:
local unit summoner = GetSummoningUnit()
local unit summon = GetSummonedUnit()
local unit old = GetHandleUnit(summoner, "summon")
if (old != null) then
call KillUnit(old)
endif
// Store pointer to new summon
call SetHandleHandle(summoner, "summon", summon) |

In the JASS Vault you will also find Lord Vexorian's pools. They are an efficient set implementation. With them you can store an indefinite number of summons per summoner then. |
