GroupEnumUnitsOfType() ??

[Trollvottel]

native GroupEnumUnitsOfType takes group whichGroup, string unitname, boolexpr filter returns nothing

so what will the unitname be? do i have to use I2S() ? or can i find the unitnames somewhere?

I think in JASS you use the raw code right? from ctrl+d? Maybe there are exceptions, I'm not sure.

 

[Trollvottel]

no i tried it with converting rawcodes to string didnt work...... i need a string!

Use the unitname as string. If you want to select all footmens on the map use "footman", if you want riflemen use "rifleman", etc.

Alternatively you could do this:

function Group_Filter takes nothing returns boolean
    return GetUnitTypeId(GetFilterUnit()) == 'hfoo'
endfunction


function ...
    local group g = CreateGroup()
    
    call GroupEnumUnitsInRect(g,GetWorldBounds(),function Group_Filter)
endfunction

ah thank you it works, i never thought about it ^^

Use UnitId2String to convert from rawcode to unit name, it is going to be much faster and simple to code than that rect work around.

ok thx, but "footman" works, too...
i didnt know that there is a "UnitId2String"

A little bit off topic, but may I ask what this function does?

 

[Trollvottel]

it takes all units of a specific unit-type

I'm not sure, but I think they have a list of unitnames near the beginning of either the common.j or bj file..
