Attached Variable question and Tables

07-23-2007, 04:07 AM

ive been studying attached variables in CS_Cache, but still didnt get my problem solved, so ill ask it directly to the master

JASS:

local unit u = GetTriggerUnit()
call AttachObject( GetTriggerUnit(), "caster", gg_trg_AWD )

does this mean GetTriggerUnit() is attached to trigger AWD?
or trigger AWD is attached to GetTriggerUnit()?

JASS:

local unit e = GetAttachedUnit(GetTriggerUnit(), "caster")

does this mean that i can use GetTriggerUnit from the actions and get it anywhere?

why cant i use this?

JASS:

local unit u = GetTriggerUnit()
call AttachObject(u, "caster", gg_trg_AWD)

can anyone post a trigger that uses attached variables correctly?

i need an answer for this to make a spell that blocks damage dealt to the buffed unit

for Tables
can anyone post a trigger that a table is used, i need a short trigger that clarifies the uses of tables?
they said tables are better than attached variable, so i think i will need it...

Attach a pointer to gg_trg_AWD for Triggering unit, label "caster" so it is "trigger AWD is attached to GetTriggerUnit()?" Although it is pretty lame to do this since gg_trg_AWD is a global...

I would say, don't bother learning attacheable vars. Their only use should now be attaching a single integer, which is a pointer to an struct...
