Storing Units using return bug...

06-05-2006, 07:37 AM

JASS:

function H2I takes handle h returns integer
    return h
    return 0
endfunction

function I2Unit takes integer i returns unit
    return i
    return null
endfunction

function GameCache takes nothing returns gamecache   
    if (udg_gamecache==null) then
        call FlushGameCache(InitGameCache("gc.dat"))
        set udg_gamecache=InitGameCache("gc.dat")
    endif
    return udg_gamecache
endfunction

function Trig_Selected_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
call StoreInteger(GameCache(),"Selected",GetHeroProperName(GetEnteringUnit()), H2I(GetEnteringUnit()))

function InitTrig_Selected takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Selected = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterEnterRectSimple( gg_trg_Selected, GetPlayableMapRect() )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Selected, function Trig_Selected_Actions )
endfunction

And getting a "selected" hero which is called John would be:

JASS:

local unit john = I2Unit(GetStoredInteger(GameCache(),"Selected","John")

Or not? ...>>
Does not work for me...

Blade.dk	Make sure that the proper name actually returns the correct string. And not like it matters, but the correct extension for gamecache is .w3v and not .dat.

Sharingan	I'm 100% sure the returned string is correct...are you sure my code is not wrong and all? >_<, to be more exact, I tried to retrieve the stored unit in a trigger event: JASS: call TriggerRegisterUnitInRangeSimple (trigger, 200.00, I2Unit(GetStoredInteger(GameCache(),"Selected","John") Maybe this is plain impossible?

Blade.dk	Sometimes you have to save a value typecasted with return bug in a variable before using it, else it sometimes does not work. So try saving it in a variable and then use it with the trigger event.

Sharingan	JASS: local unit john = I2Unit(GetStoredInteger(game_cache(),"Selected","John")) set gg_trg_john = CreateTrigger( ) call TriggerRegisterUnitInRangeSimple( gg_trg_john, 600.00, john) Hmm, this wouldn't work, or did I missunderstand you?

Anitarf	Make sure you actualy store the integer to gamecache before attempting to retrieve it.

Through some tests i came to the conclusion that it does have something to do with "retrieving before actually storing"...
Now the question is:
How could I handle this problem?
I tried creating a timer at initialization, enabling the "trigger retrieving the stored unit" 10 secs after the map started...no use...
BTW: I am actually still very green to how "enabling" or "executing" triggers works, what do I have to pay attention on? Do I have to "enable" a trigger in the trigger editor or make it "initially off"?
