Lol... this may sound noob, but to find it could you do:

Code: Select all

function H2I takes handle h returns integer
    return h
    return 0
endfunction

function GetIntegerShit takes unittype ut returns nothing
    call DisplayTextToPlayer(Player(0),0,0,I2S(H2I(ut)))
endfunction

Is that how you got it? Or is there another way.

Haha, you're trying too hard.

function CreateUnit takes player id, integer unit id, real x, real y, real face returns nothing

Thx hindy that does look like it would work.

And aero you do realize i'm asking how to get the interger form not how to use it rite? o.0

WHAT?!?! Aren't integer unitid's just the unittype surrounded by single quotes?? I can't understand how 12839018323 would end up as 'hpea' or whatever.

It's like save/load codes, how does FG5S end up as 1.6 million?

'xxxx' is not a unittype or a handle. It's an integer in compressed form and only that.

Ever see 'd' in .j scripts? 'd' = 100. 'h000' is similar to 'd' but goes through a formula (which is secret =p)

I see you don't wanna tell us eh guess i'll ask some1 else then.

[HINDYhat]

Oh, so it's just base conversion? Like ASCII shit?

[HINDYhat]

Yup I just got it. Searched for an ASCII text converter. I only could convert it to hex though. h000 gives 683030 in hex, which gives 1747988528 in decimal.

O damn lolz I always seem to take the harder way lolz I was manually starting to convert that shit. And I was way off to lolz.

Anyway to those who dont understand heres a break down. Take the letters of the unitype example H000 convert them to hex if you dont no ascii to hex then heres a lil chart down below. So after we convert them we get h=68, 0=30, 0=30, 0=,30. Then just use your everyday calculator to convert to decimal. And partial credit to aero for letting us know about it.

But, what's the advantage of using decimal based ID's... can't you just use the ID in single quotes ( ' ), and that will convert it by itself, right?
