set string = race of someone

[minikrampan]

Hey, Is it possible to

Set string = race of (triggering unit)

something like this?

You can do this:

If player race == orc
set string = orc


But why bother when there is a race variable. Not sure if it is useable in GUI tho, but it is there, and yes it is possible:thup:

hehe, Im just trying a stupid thing. Will post if it works thanks for help tho, didnt thought of that.

EDIT: here it goes

• Toss
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Living toss
  • Actions
    • Set casting_unit = (Casting unit)
    • Set target = (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • If ((Race of target) Equal to Human) then do (Set race = human\) else do (Do nothing)
    • If ((Race of target) Equal to Orc) then do (Set race = orc\) else do (Do nothing)
    • If ((Race of target) Equal to Undead) then do (Set race = undead\) else do (Do nothing)
    • If ((Race of target) Equal to Night Elf) then do (Set race = nightelf\) else do (Do nothing)
    • Set unit_type = (units\ + (race + ((String((Unit-type of target))) + (\ + ((String((Unit-type of target))) + .mdl)))))
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the hand of casting_unit using unit_type
    • Unit - Hide target

not done yet, Gonna make a toss when the unit grants a new ability so you can throw the current one away
to bad the special effect changes color to match your unit. :/
