GetUnitId - is it possible?

[Tooters]

I would like to know if there is some JASS code that gets unitId from a unit.
Example:

function GetUnitId takes unit whichUnit returns integer
    local integer theUnitsId
    (Code)
    return theUnitsId
endfunction

Does anyone know of a code like this, or could make one like this?

There is allready an native named GetUnitId, that does exactly what you want.
Now, if you want the ascii representation (ie A000) for the unitid integer then you have to write your own function, or find one at www.wc3jass.com.

Well this is what I'm trying to do..

if GetUnitId( sortingUnit ) == 'hfoo' then

So sortingUnit = unit, and I was wondering if there was anything like that. I use JassCraft, and in the Native search list I looked for "GetUnitId" and it wasn't there.

 

[emjlr3]

constant native GetUnitTypeId       takes unit whichUnit returns integer

JASS Craft knows all

Oh I thought that was like IsUnitIdType.. which says

constant native IsUnitIdType        takes integer unitId, unittype whichUnitType returns boolean

Because I thought that code checks if they are both ground units. Is that right?

IsUnitIdType in GUI would be "Unit-type classification check".

Something like this:
((Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) is A ground unit) Equal to True
