Need Local Variable for Destructible

Hello, I am familiar with making a unit variable local within a trigger, but how can I make a destructible variable local? The formula "local unit = udg_name" doesn't work for destructible variables. And "local destructible = udg_name" doesn't work and gives an error when map is saved. I have to make the trigger local because the skill can be casted multiple times by multiple people at any given moment. The wait has to be there so that I can bring the tree's animation speed back to what it was before the right-click event. Without making the trigger local, it will be constantly interrupted causing trees to be stuck at the faster animation speed.

Here is the trigger:



Tree Jump Effect
Events
Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
Conditions
And - All (Conditions) are true
Conditions
(Issued order) Equal to Right-Click
(Mana of (Ordered unit)) Greater than or equal to 50.00
Or - Any (Conditions) are true
Conditions
(Destructible-type of (Target destructible of issued order)) Equal to Summer Tree Wall
(Destructible-type of (Target destructible of issued order)) Equal to Felwood Canopy Tree
(Destructible-type of (Target destructible of issued order)) Equal to Cityscape Summer Tree Wall
Actions
Set TreeTarget = (Target destructible of issued order)
Animation - Change TreeTarget's animation speed to 70.00% of its original speed
Wait 1.00 seconds
Animation - Change TreeTarget's animation speed to 5.00% of its original speed

Instead of using locals, you can assign via hashtable the destructible to the triggering unit. Then use that to refer.

Okay I haven't heard of hash tables but I see some examples on search. I'll see if I can learn to make one for this particular trigger.

I can't create hash tables as I'm using Warcraft Editor Unlimited. The map is too complex to easily switch to a different editor. Is there no way to designate a destructible variable as local?

Why am I still playing this game...?

For being "unlimited", this sounds pretty limited to me, if it can't do hashtables.

The fact that there's no apparent support for localizing variables that are destructibles/doodads in ANY editor makes things very complicated or impossible. If only I could just begin the trigger with 'local destructible TreeTarget' and end with 'set TreeTarget = null'.

You most certainly can, but the syntax is not [ljass]local destructible[/ljass], it is [ljass]local destructable[/ljass], and this is exactly where your mistake lies :)

Oh really? :3 It's quite funny how a typo can ruin your entire JASS code.

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
