Setting a variable to Data in a game cache, HELP lol

02-08-2007, 04:07 AM

Ok, this is what IM doing to get my unit out of a game cache, it has to be MUI (Multi instancable)

PS, does

JASS:

 local integer x = 451995
    set X = S2I("")

null an integer?

JASS:

globals
unit array udg_Backpack_Unit
timerdialog array udg_TimerWind
rect gg_rct_Rect_035
trigger gg_trg_Reviving_Heroes
gamecache udg_Game_Cache
endglobals

function Revive_Func0X20 takes nothing returns boolean
return (GetUnitTypeId(GetTriggerUnit()) == 'H001' or GetUnitTypeId(GetTriggerUnit()) == 'N00U' or GetUnitTypeId(GetTriggerUnit()) == 'H002' or GetUnitTypeId(GetTriggerUnit()) == 'E003' or GetUnitTypeId(GetTriggerUnit()) == 'N01J' or GetUnitTypeId(GetTriggerUnit()) == 'N00R') and (UnitHasItemOfTypeBJ(udg_Backpack_Unit[GetPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()))+1], 'I00N') == false)


endfunction

function Func_1 takes nothing returns nothing
 local timer t = GetExpiredTimer()
 local integer x = GetStoredInteger(udg_Game_Cache, "player", "x")+1
 local string s = GetStoredString(udg_Game_Cache, "player", "s")
 local unit u = RestoreUnit(udg_Game_Cache, "player", s, Player(x), GetRectCenterX(gg_rct_Rect_035), GetRectCenterY(gg_rct_Rect_035), 270.00) 
 local location loc = GetRectCenter(gg_rct_Rect_035) 
    call BJDebugMsg(GetUnitName(u))
    //call ReviveHeroLoc(u, loc, false)
    call ShowUnit(udg_Backpack_Unit[x], true)
    call SetUnitPositionLoc(udg_Backpack_Unit[x], loc)
    call PanCameraToTimedLocForPlayer(GetOwningPlayer(u), loc, 0.00)
    call RemoveLocation(loc)
    set loc = null
    call DestroyTimerDialog(udg_TimerWind[x])
    call DestroyTimer(t)
    set t = null
    call FlushStoredInteger(udg_Game_Cache, "player", "x")
    call FlushStoredString(udg_Game_Cache, "player", "s")
    call FlushStoredUnit(udg_Game_Cache, "player", s)
    set x = S2I("")//(Does this null an integer?)
    set u = null
    set s = null
    
endfunction

function Revive takes nothing returns nothing
 local timer t = CreateTimer()
 local unit u = GetTriggerUnit()
 local integer x = GetPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(u))+1
 local string s = I2S(x) + GetUnitName(u)
 local string pn = GetPlayerName(GetOwningPlayer(u))
    call StoreUnit(udg_Game_Cache, "player", s, u)
    call StoreInteger(udg_Game_Cache, "player", "x", x)
    call StoreString(udg_Game_Cache, "player", "s", s)
    call BJDebugMsg("Initilized == true")
    call TimerStart(t, 23, false, function Func_1)
    set udg_TimerWind[x] = CreateTimerDialogBJ(t, pn + "'s Revive")
    call ShowUnitHide(udg_Backpack_Unit[x])
    set t = null
    set u = null
    set s = ""
    set pn = ""
    set x = S2I("") //(Does this null the variable ?)  
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Reviving_Heroes takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Reviving_Heroes = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerAddCondition(gg_trg_Reviving_Heroes,Condition(function Revive_Func0X20))
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Reviving_Heroes, function Revive )
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ(gg_trg_Reviving_Heroes, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_DEATH)
endfunction

PS do I have to have some sort of system to "use" handles, and store them into game caches, and so on

null an integer?

no, Seriously no. Besides of the fact you don't need to null integers.

--
I don't see the point in using the gamecache natives directly, besides of incompatibilities because of the variable names, threatening to fill the gamecache file set too much (Remember the limit?) Gamecache is already too slow so the removal of function calls optimization is not a big deal.
..
Because you used them you got seriously confused?

StoreUnit stores the whole unit, and to retrieve it you use RestoreUnit, most likelly you only wanted to store a reference to the unit, for that you typecast the unit variable to an integer, store the integer in gamecache, then load the integer and typecast it back to unit.

JASS:


// transforms a reference to a handle into an integer that can be stored in gamecache
function H2I takes handle h returns integer
    return h
    return 0
endfunction

//transforms an integer into a unit reference
function I2U takes integer i returns unit
    return i
    return null
endfunction
