Count units in group and show how many of each type

[Gtam]

Title says it all

 

[Rainther]

I'm afraid it doesn't fully. Are you looking for a function to do such?

So you want a function that gives out like "This group contains of 2 Footmans and 3 Riflemans"?

 

[Gtam]

Yes like that.

 

[Rainther]

Would you like to have it in GUI or Jass? Please say vJass ;D

 

[Gtam]

Sry but unfortanly i need it in GUI

 

[Rainther]

Oh god, don't even know where I'm supposed to start in GUI.

If anyone else might wish to help that's better in GUI I'd welcome those.

 

[Gtam]

Always start with an event

Here's something I already wrote in jass for my own map that does something similar.
You'll need an integer array called udg_unitTypeCount. Instead of testing for flying/melee etc as I was doing replace it with GetUnitTypeId(testunit) == 'hfoo' or whatever unit type you're testing for.

function CategorizeGroupEnum takes nothing returns nothing
    local unit testunit = GetEnumUnit()
    
    set bj_groupCountUnits = bj_groupCountUnits + 1
    if IsUnitType(testunit, UNIT_TYPE_FLYING) then
        set udg_unitTypeCount[3] = udg_unitTypeCount[3] + 1
    elseif IsUnitType(testunit, UNIT_TYPE_MELEE_ATTACKER) then
        set udg_unitTypeCount[0] = udg_unitTypeCount[0] + 1
    elseif GetUnitState(testunit, UNIT_STATE_MAX_MANA) >= 200 then
        set udg_unitTypeCount[2] = udg_unitTypeCount[2] + 1
    elseif IsUnitType(testunit, UNIT_TYPE_RANGED_ATTACKER) then
        set udg_unitTypeCount[1] = udg_unitTypeCount[1] + 1
    endif
    
    if IsUnitType(testunit, UNIT_TYPE_ATTACKS_FLYING) then
        set udg_unitTypeCount[6] = udg_unitTypeCount[6] + 1
    else
        set udg_unitTypeCount[5] = udg_unitTypeCount[5] + 1
    endif
    set testunit = null
endfunction

function CategorizeGroup takes group testGroup returns nothing
    set bj_groupCountUnits = 0
    set udg_unitTypeCount[0] = 0
    set udg_unitTypeCount[1] = 0
    set udg_unitTypeCount[2] = 0
    set udg_unitTypeCount[3] = 0
    set udg_unitTypeCount[4] = 0
    set udg_unitTypeCount[5] = 0
    set udg_unitTypeCount[6] = 0
    call ForGroup(testGroup, function CategorizeGroupEnum)
endfunction

No i wan when a player types bla it displays how many of each unittype he has currently selected

 

[SnowCrow]

No i wan when a player types bla it displays how many of each unittype he has currently selected

• Count Units
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -footmen as An exact match
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set UnitCountInteger = (Number of units in (Units owned by Player 1 (Red) matching ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Footman)))
        • Game - Display to (All players) for 15.00 seconds the text: (You control + ((String(UnitCountInteger)) + Footmen.))

Is this what you want?

 

[Gtam]

No if he types some thing i want it to display how many unit of each type in the currently selected units

 

[SnowCrow]

No if he types some thing i want it to display how many unit of each type in the currently selected units

So like if I select a group of units in game, like 4 ghouls, 4 footmen and 4 grunts, and type -units the trigger would say that I have selected those units?

 

[Gtam]

Yes like that

 

[SnowCrow]

Damn, my triggering skills aren't enough then. Sorry, but I can't help with this any further.
Hope someone finds a way to do it.

[Gtam]

That will require way to many action if its for all the unit types but thx any way. Any other suggestions

 

[Asdfblah1]

Then intialize the unit types into an array and do a little loop...I don't see how the command helps anyways. A player can only select 12 units and when selected it even shows them all with pretty pictures.

 

[tmow]

yeap its a bunch of if/then/else functions and variables....depending on how many diffrent types you have...the more u have the harder its gonna be..

This system im creating doesnt just show how many units in a unit group but does variour other things but i want to display him the units first to double check its the units he want to use
