Get Variable Index?

[emilemil1]

I was just wondering if there is any way to get a variable index using a GUI action?

I'm using circle of powers as checkpoints for my AoS and they all have a set variable index, LeftLane [1-5], MiddleLane [1-5] and RightLane [1-5].

I'm currently using the well known system of:

Unit comes within 5 of XXXLane [X] -->
Set Custom Value of Unit to ((Custom Value of Unit) + 1) -->
Order (Triggering Unit) to move to XXXLane [Custom Value of Unit]

Even if it is simple, wouldn't it be easier to make something like:

Unit comes within 5 of XXXLane [X] -->
Order (Triggering Unit) to move to (Index value of (Triggering Variable) + 1)

I guess it is doable in JASS (no experience of it though), but is it doable in GUI?

The reason why I'm looking for this kind of solution is because a trigger was malfunctioning (it used unit custom values too).

Well you could just set the custom values of each circle of power to their index value

I do not really get how it would help? Could you post a example code (or my lame kind without the editor xD)

Ok, couldn't find a way... lol XD sorry :S

I'd look into PUI, it's a system made by Cohadar.

Yes that would do it i guess, but from a quick perspective it looks like it is JASS and as it sais in the file info (not for beginners). Not that i'm a beginner, but i like the simplicity and speed of GUI even if you can't do advanced stuff.

Implement PUI, all you use is GetUnitIndex(unit) in the place where the array would be.

A straight answer, is this 100% GUI? To me it isn't.

I read through the quick instructions. It is supposed to give a unique integer to each and every unit. That is very nice and all, but i need a command to USE the integer in a GUI (order unit to move) action.

I doubt putting GetUnitIndex(unit) as a custom command for the trigger would do any good unless i have a automatic way of detecting which circle of power i stepped on?

Unit - A unit comes within 20.00 of |||Circle of Power 0219 <gen>||| Which unit condition refers to this Circle of Power??

I have a way to get a index, requiring JASS (which i specifically did not ask for). Now i just need to get the unit.
