Snippet CloneUnit

[tooltiperror]

Spoiler

// Script by Blade.dk
// wc3jass
function CloneUnit takes unit whichUnit, player cloneOwner, real cloneX, real cloneY, real cloneFacing returns unit
    local unit clone
    local gamecache g = InitGameCache("CloneCache.w3v")
    call StoreUnit(g, "clone", "clone", whichUnit)
    set clone = RestoreUnit(g, "clone", "clone", cloneOwner, cloneX, cloneY, cloneFacing)
    call SetUnitState(clone, UNIT_STATE_LIFE, GetUnitState(whichUnit, UNIT_STATE_LIFE))
    call SetUnitState(clone, UNIT_STATE_MANA, GetUnitState(whichUnit, UNIT_STATE_MANA))
    call FlushGameCache(g)
    set g = null
    return clone
endfunction

Perfectly clones a unit. Carries over things like buffs and items and all that jazz (using the other BJ won't).

I figured it was big enough to be a snippet if IsPositionPathable and that stuff is

Guess not then.

Just want to point out this was already done. It's even in EGUI '

 

[tooltiperror]

Yeah, this is ready to be graveyarded D:

CloneCache.w3v
cloneOwner
cloneFacing

You didn't even use SetWidgetLife() as you know it's faster. There is no conceivable way you didn't just copy & paste the function.

I'm going to have to agree. The script is literally word for word, letter for letter exactly the same.

I replaced my original script with Blade's because it was obviously better, in case someone searches for cloning units and finds the old one (not good to spread out around bad code) so chill. I'll add in a note to the first post.

You already know that there are improvements available to the existing code. Make the changes. No good to spread out around bad code.

At any rate. There still is no note on the first post.
