How do I get a destructables type? Such as 'B005' ?

I tried "GetDestructableTypeId" but that simply returned varying numbers.

If it matters, the destructables I need this on have variations. + rep for answering.
 
Yes, I know. How would I know a destructable is 'B005'?

What I'm doing is checking if a destructable is a specific-type of one.
 
Sounds about normal.
Those 'B005' integers are base 256... :p

Display I2S('B005'), to see.


The variations are of no importance.


JASS:
function Char2Id takes string c returns integer
    local integer i = 0
    local string abc = "0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
    local string t

    loop
        set t = SubString(abc,i,i + 1)
        exitwhen t == null or t == c
        set i = i + 1
    endloop
    if i < 10 then
        return i + 48
    elseif i < 36 then
        return i + 65 - 10
    endif
    return i + 97 - 36
endfunction

function String2Id takes string s returns integer
    return ((Char2Id(SubString(s,0,1)) * 256 + Char2Id(SubString(s,1,2))) * 256 + Char2Id(SubString(s,2,3))) * 256 + Char2Id(SubString(s,3,4))
endfunction

function Id2Char takes integer i returns string
    local string abc = "0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"

    if i >= 97 then
        return SubString(abc,i - 97 + 36,i - 96 + 36)
    elseif i >= 65 then
        return SubString(abc,i - 65 + 10,i - 64 + 10)
    endif
    return SubString(abc,i - 48,i - 47)
endfunction

function Id2String takes integer id returns string
    local integer t = id / 256
    local string r = Id2Char(id - 256 * t)
    set id = t / 256
    set r = Id2Char(t - 256 * id) + r
    set t = id / 256
    return Id2Char(t) + Id2Char(id - 256 * t) + r
endfunction


A simple call to "string2id" or "id2string"...

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
