Is there any function to get unit scale?

Is there any function to get unit scale (size) ?

 

[Romek]

No, there isn't.
You could make your own SetScaleEx that stores the unit scale as well as making the unit smaller/bigger though.

how to store unit scale

 

[DrEvil]

nope.

But you could set arrays at a map init trig.

like :

globals
   real array SCALE_SIZE
   integer array SCALE_UNIT
   constant integer MAX_INDEX = 1 // <--e.t.c
endglobals

function GetUnitScale takes unit u returns real
   local integer i = 1
   loop
      exitwhen i > MAX_INDEX
      if SCALE_UNIT<i> == GetUnitTypeId(u) then
         return SCALE_SIZE<i>
      endif
      set i = i + 1
   endloop
   return 0
endfunction

function Init...
   set SCALE_UNIT[1] = &#039;HMkg&#039;
   set SCALE_SIZE[1] = 1.00 // &lt;-- change it to the size in OE ?
endfunction</i></i>

Just a little rough , but that's how id plan it out.

Or just use Table.

library Scale initializer Init needs Table
    globals
        private HandleTable Tab
    endglobals
    
    private struct Data
        real scale
    endstruct
    
    function SetUnitScaleEx takes unit u, real scale returns nothing
        local Data d
        if not Tab.exists(u) then
            set d = Data.create()
            set Tab<u> = d
        else
            set d = Tab<u>
        endif
        set d.scale = scale
        call SetUnitScale(u, scale, scale, scale)
    endfunction
    
    function GetUnitScale takes unit u returns real
        return Data(Tab<u>).scale
    endfunction
    
    private function Cond takes nothing returns boolean    
        local unit u = GetTriggerUnit()
        if Tab.exists(u) then
            call Data(Tab<u>).destroy()
            call Tab.flush(u)
        endif
        set u = null
        return false
    endfunction
    
    private function Init takes nothing returns nothing
        local trigger t = CreateTrigger()
        call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ(t, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_DEATH)
        call TriggerAddCondition(t, Filter(function Cond))
        set Tab = HandleTable.create()
    endfunction
endlibrary</u></u></u></u>

I dont think that creating a Data instances every time you change units scale is a good idea.
edit. You should check if unit allready has a Data instance.

And when I last tested this, only x value did something and y & z were completely useless.

Destroy it when the unit dies.

Really? I've never tried SetUnitScale with different values.
If this is true, then it'd make things very simple.

Changed that code a bit.

It's the time of hooks.

EDIT : Oh didn't saw it is a such old thread, sorry.

 

[Viikuna]

Heh, well since someone ressurected this..

You should use UnitProperties for this. I dont know if the version thats uploaded in wc3c.net supports scale yet, buts its pretty easy to modify it to do so.

I'd use AIDS.

Meh, there's a hundred ways to do this. The author of this thread is long gone, probably.
