"GetLastCreatedUnit" in loop?

[Komaqtion]

Hi!
I posted another thread about "GetLastCreatedUnit" before, but this one is about when it is used in a loop, so i thought i could make a new thread.

Anyway, I'm creating dummy units in a loop for effects that shall move and stuff, how should i use variables to not use the "GetLastCreatedUnit" since it is a BJ ???

I think you can set a Unit variable to (Last created unit), but I can't check right now.

Oh sorry, forgot to say that i'm using JASS and i'm just learning so i don't know how to do this stuff XD

bj_lastCreatedUnit

Is that what you were asking ?

In newgen you can just - ctrl + click on a bj and it will show what natives it calls

Hope i helped

Yeah but that is still a bj, right?
Isn't there any other way of getting last created unit, since it is in a loop, i can't use locals to create the unit and set it at the same time.

Sort of.
It's a global variable, that, in GUI, is returned by "Get last created unit"...
Same thing really as when you use a global variable yourself.

Umm...

local unit created

set created = CreateUnit(Player(0),'hpea',0,0,0)

The CreateUnit function returns a unit... that means you can directly assign it to a variable, without using last created unit and whatnot.
