clearing item variable? possible?

[Inflicted]

how do i clear an Item variable?

 

[Ashlebede]

set myItem = null

Is that what you mean ?

 

[Inflicted]

yes but for some reason i cant seem to set global item variable arrays?

hmm, i'l try again and tell you the result.

---

EDIT: okay i tested it and seem to be having a problem.

im using this line, imported into GUI:

set udg_BuyerItemHeld[GetConvertedPlayerId(udg_Temp_Player)] = null

i get error:

Type mismatch in assignment.

My variables are:
udg_BuyerItemHeld[] - global item type array[12]
udg_Temp_Player - global unit variable

i presume the error means i have the wrong type, but im unsure what i'm doing wrong cos my Jass isnt good.

im trying to set set udg_BuyerItemHeld with the array number of the number of the temp player.

anyone know what i'v done wrong?

try

set udg_BuyerItemHeld[GetConvertedPlayerId(udg_Temp_Player)] = GetItemTypeID(null)

.

Had to make a trigger in gui and convert it to jass to get the end bit for you, but not sure on what your dooing with the index so thought id leave it

you said udg_temp_player is a unit variable? was that a typo? if not thats your problem because a player should be a player variable...

you dont have to set the array size for item arrays also because it wouldnt make a difference.

you actually dont have to set item variables to null also, in case you think it would leak.

and you can null them with simple GUI as well cause there is an option to set the variable to "no item".

Create new item, set it to new item, remove new item?

yes, my mistake, it is a player variable.

Create new item, set it to new item, remove new item?

does not suit what i am trying to do with it, i need it to be empty.
Its item-type, not item aswel.

okay KJP, i will try that. ty

i hate to quote myself.

this:

• Set ItemVariableThingy = No Item

will be this in Jass:

set udg_ItemVariableThingy = null
