Assign an integer a string? (objectid and integer)

07-09-2006, 04:47 PM

HI!
I have something like this, and I ask me how to make it work...
The event is a research that finishes:
(The name of the researching object is 'u00K')

JASS:

local integer A
local location Loc
set A=(GetObjectName(GetResearched()))
call DisplayTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), GetObjectName(GetResearched())  )
call DisplayTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), I2S(A)  )
call CreateNUnitsAtLoc(1,A,GetTriggerPlayer(),Loc, bj_UNIT_FACING)

So when I try this, then WE gives me an error about a type-conflict.
And yes that is obviously the integer A which is set to a string...
but it is set to an object-id (namely the name: 'u00K') and don't work!
What way else must I go to set A to this 'u00K'?
I easily can say
set A='u00K', but that fails the issue,
I need it with GetObjectName, because there are different researching objects with different names.
Perhaps the solution is apparent, but I don't see it, and that for already more than 2 hours... *argh*

Alevice	GetObjectName retuns a string, not the integer ID, GetResearched does.

MasterofSickness	Yes, but the string from GetObjectName(GetResearched()) is 'u00K', the objectid I need! GetResearched() is just something like 1387452387! I need something like this (in fact same as above): JASS: call CreateNUnitsAtLoc(1,GetObjectName(GetResearched()),GetTriggerPlayer(),Loc, bj_UNIT_FACING)

Jacek	First you say it is set to string, then you say it is set to orderstring. 'u00K' ISN'T a string, it is an integer. Make sure if it returns "u00K" or 'u00K' (notice the ' and ")

I can not check it, because WE don't let me, the editor says there is a conflict here:

JASS:

set A=(GetObjectName(GetResearched()))

(The value of the researching objects Name is exactly: "'u00K'")
So what can I do?

EDIT:
I tested this:

JASS:

local string s
set s=GetObjectName(GetResearched())
call DisplayTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), s  )

And then the textmessage says: 'u00K'
But with this, the old error pops up:

JASS:

local string s
set s=GetObjectName(GetResearched())
call DisplayTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), s  )
call CreateNUnitsAtLoc(1,"s",GetTriggerPlayer(),Loc, bj_UNIT_FACING)

What now?

Alevice	If I get right, the upgrade name (not its id) is "u00K", and the unit you are trying to create in the later trigger has the 'u00K' id. An integer id ('1234') is not the same as a string ("1234") You are trying to do a parsing trick that doesn't seem to be possible.

shadow1500	Unfortunatly, S2I does not convert rawcodes in string form, you will have to convert your rawcodes to integer form and then set them as the updates names', or use pitzer's function, IdString2DebugIdInteger, which converts string rawcodes to integers.

Haaa, exactly, I couldn't find the right words, but that's exactly what I mean!

Yeah, you are proberly right, also because of the post from shadow...

@shadow1500:
Wow! YES! That's what I need, PitzerMike's function!!!
But how do I implement it?
I tried to copy the code from the link to "own Script-Code" from Trigger Task, but then always the editor shuts down...

EDIT:
There is an error in the function from PitzerMike:

JASS:

if Char==""" then
  return 34
endif

This makes WE shot down and as you can see from the JASS code, the rest gets green, what means that everything after this: if Char==""" is handled as a string and that is the reason for the error.
But I really don't know how you can fix it, so that you only get " as the respectively char

shadow1500	Thats only an error in the jass editor, the WE parses it correctly.

07-10-2006, 03:16 PM	#10
The)TideHunter(	Change """ to "\"" and it should work.

07-10-2006, 04:03 PM	#11
shadow1500	Oh yes i forgot, you have to escape the " char with a \ before it. Pitzer should fix this error.

Actually, I designed a pair of functions called GetTrueIndex and GetFalseIndex which, with a bit of rigging, could transform a tiny string like "34" into a custom unit ID. I'm not sure if GetFalseIndex works, but feel free to try it. You could, theoretically, transform the upgrade's ID of 'u00K' to 'h00K' or whatever other id you like, thereby allowing you to fire all unit-spawning upgrades' effects from the same trigger. This would only work if you've arranged your unit-spawning upgrades into a specific order, though.

Hope it helps.

EDIT: fixed some serious bugs. Bleh.

JASS:

/////////GETTRUEINDEX
function GetTrueIndex takes integer ID, integer objtype returns integer

//I'm not using the Pow function for the sake of speed

MasterofSickness	Big thanks to all, it works now! Thx especially to Alevice, shadow1500 and The)TideHunter( ! I needed that function from PitzerMike (if you read this one day: THX PitzerMike!) ( but also a workin' -> thx again TideHunter)

Or you could use the base 10 integer for the object name and S2I. Even more likely, just GetResearched as it is an integer just like the base-256 'u00K'.

Quote:

GetResearched() is just something like 1387452387

1387452387 is not an integer the WE would produce so I'm guessing that's something random. 'u00K' is 126144933 so if that's what it prints, then you can use GetResearched directly.

07-11-2006, 04:11 PM	#15
MasterofSickness	Yeah, thanks for adding this, but then I always would have to check what number the object has I want to use. So, as for being lazy, I'm using PitzerMike's function. But nice to know that too, didn't think of that! Thanks PipeDream.
