Takes integer returns unit

[Lobster]

Is there such thing as

 Take integer Return Unit

I need it for my resistant thing, if thjats even possible.

A function can take anything and return anything (variables of course). So what do you want to do with the function?

See my resistance thread Resistance thread Post 17

function Resistance takes integer I returns unit
  //do my fancy code here
  return myUnit
endfunction

Im new to JASS, but Ill try n figure the code out from there. + rep to both of you.

wait, what are you trying to do? have a special number for each unit? that would be custom value, already exists in gui...
additionally you could use handle vars/cscache (discussed before, look through the forum if you need links). however this would require converting your whole trigger to jass so i'm not sure if this is what you want (and you dont if you simply want to store an integer).

Dont I need 4 custom values, one for each element? Ill explain the problem in my other thread.

all the spells have a element type, And every unit has a certain amount of resistance, and a certain amount of power for each element. for example: Oceans wave is a spell that deals water damage. If a unit in the way of the spell has a water resistance to 20 to water and the spell would have done 40 damage, the spell would do a total of 20 damage, because 40-20= 20. If the unit has -20 resistance to water* the unit will take 60 damage, because 40+20 = 60.

* The real resistance is on a balance between 0- 1000, where 500 is the balance between negative and positive.
Sorry if I can't be clear, this is taking math which might be hard for some people to understand.

ok for that you need handle vars. you have 2 options:
CSCache (probably the better way, but the site is down atm - will be up tomorow)
Local Handle Vars (not as good as CSCache, but you don't really need more than this)

example of using them:
CSCache
call AttachInt(unit, "Resistance Fire", 5)
call AttachInt(unit, "Resistance Frost", 10)
and to read them
set udg_SomeGlobalInteger = GetAttachedInt(unit, "Resistance Fire")
set udg_SomeGlobalInteger = GetAttachedInt(unit, "Resistance Frost")
Local Handle Vars (same thing basically, different command names)
call SetHandleInt(unit, "Resistance Fire", 5)
call SetHandleInt(unit, "Resistance Frost", 10)
set udg_SomeGlobalInteger = GetHandleInt(unit, "Resistance Fire")
set udg_SomeGlobalInteger = GetHandleInt(unit, "Resistance Frost")

of course "Resistance Fire" can be any string. unit can also be anything you can use from the gui, including Triggering Unit (GetTriggerUnit()), Target Unit Of Ability Being Cast (GetSpellTargetUnit()) etc.
