GetObjectName String References?

[GoD-Tony]

Sometimes when editing a map in JASS I'll run across something like this:

Code: Select all

DisplayTimedTextToPlayer(GetTriggerPlayer(),0,0,10,(GetObjectName((1848657712))))

Instead of using a string directly, it's making reference to a string in another file using GetObjectName...

CampaignUnitStrings.txt

Code: Select all

[n0G0]
Name="string being referenced here"
Hotkey=
Tip=""
Ubertip=""

My question is, how does GetObjectName(1848657712) lead to the string in CampaignUnitStrings.txt?

the [n0G0] thing is just the shortening of the number. Convert it back to the normal rawcode using this:

(Just put the long number in the "Integer -> Char" box and hit the button)

Exactly what I needed to know, thanks.
