Perfect IsUnitAlive

Too lazy to test yourself?

Dead, then Alive. Guess it can't be fooled

I don't have WC3 at work.

Dead, then Alive. Guess it can't be fooled

Thanks, that's good to know...
Whelp, guess it's perfect. Or something.

>I don't have WC3 at work.

Ah. Too lazy to do your job then

>Thanks, that's good to know...

Yeah.
I tried testing it with heroes (in light of GetUnitXCost not working with them, you never know...):

function AnHero takes nothing returns nothing
    local unit hero = CreateUnit(Player(0), 'Hpal', 0., 0., 0.)
    call KillUnit(hero)
    if (UnitAlive(hero)) then
        call BJDebugMsg("Alive")
    else
        call BJDebugMsg("Dead")
    endif
    call ReviveHero(hero, 0., 0., true)
        if (UnitAlive(hero)) then
        call BJDebugMsg("Alive")
    else
        call BJDebugMsg("Dead")
    endif
endfunction

Dead, then Alive. This function is too good..

... what's it return for a unit that is on the ground about to be reincarnated?

... what's it return for a unit that is on the ground about to be reincarnated?

Lmao.

Let's just throw everything at it huh?

Does it detect items

 

[Azlier]

Hmm. It returns dead. How incredibly odd.

Well, we found one (minor) flaw. Why can't we have anything perfect?!

 

[Sevion]

Well... you can't have everything :3

Besides, you can always just store a boolean when a unit dies and has reincarnation that's not on cooldown :3

Then again, we all need a single function to do all our stuff huh?

native Sex takes player p returns boolean

If you pass an ugly person, it returns false. If you pass a beautiful person, it returns true :3

 

[Jesus4Lyf]

Hmm. It returns dead. How incredibly odd.

Well, we found one (minor) flaw. Why can't we have anything perfect?!

How's that a flaw... I'm thinking of when I'd use this (like buff/damage all units in AoE), and reincarnation should count as dead in those situations...

 

[Azlier]

True, it may be better in the end. But it shouldn't return dead.

 

[Jesus4Lyf]

Disagreed!
I think it should.

PS.
How about...

function ThereIsNoSpoon takes nothing returns nothing
    local unit u=CreateUnit(Player(15),'hfoo',0,0,0)
    call RemoveUnit(u)
    if UnitAlive(u) then
        call BJDebugMsg("Alive")
    else
        call BJDebugMsg("Dead")
    endif
endfunction

 

[quraji]

Disagreed!
I think it should.

I agree. It is, after all, dead. But it will come back soon :thup:

 

[Azlier]

So in your eyes it is perfect, in mine it is imperfect but is just as good as perfect or something.

 

[Jesus4Lyf]

How about...

function ThereIsNoSpoon takes nothing returns nothing
    local unit u=CreateUnit(Player(15),'hfoo',0,0,0)
    call RemoveUnit(u)
    if UnitAlive(u) then
        call BJDebugMsg("Alive")
    else
        call BJDebugMsg("Dead")
    endif
endfunction

Any word on that?

 

[Azlier]

Alive. After any sort of wait, dead.

Flaw #2

 

[Jesus4Lyf]

What about...

function ThereIsNoSpoon takes nothing returns nothing
    local unit u=CreateUnit(Player(15),'hfoo',0,0,0)
    call SetWidgetLife(u,0)
    call RemoveUnit(u)
    if UnitAlive(u) then
        call BJDebugMsg("Alive")
    else
        call BJDebugMsg("Dead")
    endif
endfunction

 

[Azlier]

Dead.

 

[Weep]

UnitInvis crashes and burns.

Nuuuuuu! I was looking for a function like that a while ago.

 

[Hatebreeder]

native GetUnitCount         takes integer unitid                        returns integer

This is for retrieving Unit Index? Or what is this for?

 

[saw792]

Counts how many units of that type id exist.

 

[Rushhour]

It's christmas soon,.. I wish a native that gets the manacosts of spells
And properly working ability and buff fields ready to be edited !

Jesus, can you talk to your daddy
