"Player Id" and "Player whichPlayer"

[Dois]

This is confusing me...

CreateUnitAtLoc(GetPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit())), 'h000', L, 0.0 )

that gives an error in JassCraft... but

this works

CreateUnitAtLoc(GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()), 'h000', L, 0.0 )

The thing is JassCraft says

CreateUnitAtLoc         takes player id, integer unitid, location whichLocation, real face returns unit

that it takes player id...

so is Player Id and Player whichPlayer the same? I mean yeah they're both "player" but then whats "GetPlayerId" for? "Player Id" isn't an integer?

Its player id

It's a player, Like GetTriggeringPlayer()

 

[darkbeer]

as it says it takes of variable of TYPE player and its called id, that has nothing to do with the id of thy player.

yea, but theres not such thing which takes integer i think, everything that creates a unit uses player.

 

[Dois]

umm ph so if its

integer playerid

if theres such a thing, then

CreateUnitAtLoc(GetPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit())), 'h000', L, 0.0 )

??

For example

function Asd takes integer playerid returns nothing //you can name playerid with another name but you must replace it Inside the function
call DisplayTextToPlayer(Player(playerid),0,0,"This id is the player " + I2S(playerid+1))
endfunction

If you put a 0 in there will display a text for the player red (Usually the player 1..) Displaying this id is the player 1.

But if It takes a player then you have to use the player directly Not the Player(playerid) and use GetPlayerId(player) inside the I2S.
