ID => Handle ?

[Skippy]

1)

local timer i
local integer id = GetHandleId(i)

Now I have id of handle i.
Is there any way to get a handle from ID, some inverse function?

2)

local handle h
local timer t

Is there any way to convert h to t?

What are you talking about?Hashtables don't work like that.If you are the creator of the map, you should now what you want to load.

function LoadValues takes nothing returns nothing
    local timer t = GetExpiredTimer()
    local integer id = GetHandleId(t)
    //I want my unit back!
    local unit u = LoadUnitHandle(hash, id, 0)
    //And my timer dialog
    local timerdialog td = LoadTimerDialogHandle(hash, id, 1)
    ....
endfunction

function start takes nothing returns nothing
    local timer t = CreateTimer()
    local integer id = GetHandleId(t)
    //I want to save a unit
    call SaveUnitHandle(hash, id, 0, unit)
    //And a timer dialog
    call SaveTimerDialogHandle(hash, id, 1, td)
    call TimerStart(t, 5, false, function LoadValues)
    set t = null
endfunction

A timer is a handle

local handle h = CreateTimer()

But I am not sure what you mean

Hashtables were never mentioned...

> A timer is a handle
Try:

local handle h = CreateTimer()
call TimerStart(h, 5, true, null)

This is worth taking a look at. If it no longer works, then unfortunately there's no way of typecasting from integer to handle.

There is no problem in converting handle to timer, but I need to convert timer to handle

I didn't say a handle is a timer.

That little script demonstrated that problem to the person who posted above me.

Read the last sentence in Post #3.

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately I don't understand what is the purpose of the library

You can convert a handle to an integer using GetHandleId(), and convert it from an integer to a handle using the typecasting library.

Although, that method isn't really needed so much anymore. What exactly are you trying to do? =)

Problem has been solved. Thanks, +rep
