Couple Questions

Joker	1. Is it better to Give a unit a expiration timer to get rid of unit, or removing unit when your using a dummy unit? 2. Is there another way doing a unit group in jass besides the way the WE does it?

Av3n	1. Generic Timers are better but I perfer removing the, 2. Don't understand this one but I think you can still create unit groups in JASS or WE. -Av3n

Daxtreme	2. What do you mean? To create unit groups there are many ways I think.

TaintedReality	As to the second one, I'm not completely sure but I think you are referring to this: http://www.wc3jass.com/viewtopic.php?t=1998

1. I tend to use expiration timers, so that I can add it, tell the dummy unit to cast, then forget about it. If you use the remove native, you have to wait for it to have casted.

2. From the group api of common.j:

JASS:

native CreateGroup                          takes nothing returns group
native DestroyGroup                         takes group whichGroup returns nothing
native GroupAddUnit                         takes group whichGroup, unit whichUnit returns nothing
native GroupRemoveUnit                      takes group whichGroup, unit whichUnit returns nothing
native GroupClear                           takes group whichGroup returns nothing
native GroupEnumUnitsOfType                 takes group whichGroup, string unitname, boolexpr filter returns nothing
native GroupEnumUnitsOfPlayer               takes group whichGroup, player whichPlayer, boolexpr filter returns nothing
native GroupEnumUnitsOfTypeCounted          takes group whichGroup, string unitname, boolexpr filter, integer countLimit returns nothing
native GroupEnumUnitsInRect                 takes group whichGroup, rect r, boolexpr filter returns nothing
native GroupEnumUnitsInRectCounted          takes group whichGroup, rect r, boolexpr filter, integer countLimit returns nothing
native GroupEnumUnitsInRange                takes group whichGroup, real x, real y, real radius, boolexpr filter returns nothing
native GroupEnumUnitsInRangeOfLoc           takes group whichGroup, location whichLocation, real radius, boolexpr filter returns nothing
native GroupEnumUnitsInRangeCounted         takes group whichGroup, real x, real y, real radius, boolexpr filter, integer countLimit returns nothing
native GroupEnumUnitsInRangeOfLocCounted    takes group whichGroup, location whichLocation, real radius, boolexpr filter, integer countLimit returns nothing
native GroupEnumUnitsSelected               takes group whichGroup, player whichPlayer, boolexpr filter returns nothing

was what i was wanting (i think)

my question was how to do unit groups besides the was WE converts Unit Groups in GUI. Sry for the confusion
