How do I make:

Quote
-Spawn ( The Unit ID ) ( Value )

Spawn unit with entered unit ID, you can set how much the spawned unit

Do you want it as a chat command??

Of course - .. -
Oh I want it vJASS :3 :3 Because it's neat and cute :3 :3

Ok, working in a idea, but the part of using unitid to call the unit requires more time.  Could it be:

Quote-spawn 5 Knights
So we can use the formal name?? I thinkit could be easier
13 years
No, I want id Unit ID
I had listed the Unit on the quest :D :D

Well, you're going to need to figure out where to put them. Do you have a designated location for each player or do you want to base it off of the current location of a unit, or what? You didn't provide much information. Also, are you trying to make it so units will revive even though they aren't heroes, like in a more traditional RPG, or are you simply trying to create units once?

sorry bump, it's been a long time, i've been quite busy, anyway, please help me with these :3 :3
-spawn (Unit ID, not formal name!) (amounts, if not entered, just spawn it one)

Have you tried the S2I function?

You have still to convert the string in a valid integer.
It can be done of course, but it's not straight forward, for example 'hpea' (human peasant) is not a decimal base.
Hopefully there is already a resource for that :

Ok, here we go :

Code (jass) Select

library SpawnUnitByChat requires Ascii initializer init
2
3
   globals
4
      private constant string KEY = "-spawn"
5
      private constant player PLAYER = Player(0) // first player (red)
6
      private constant real X = 0
7
      private constant real Y = 0
8
   endglobals
9
10
   private function Actions takes nothing returns nothing
11
      local string chat = GetEventPlayerChatString()
12
      local integer i = -1
13
      local string s = ""
14
      local string unitid = ""
15
      local string count = ""
16
      
17
      chat = SubString(chat,StringLength(KEY)+1,StringLength(chat))
18
      loop
19
      set i = i+1
20
      set s = SubString(chat,i,i+1)
21
      exitwhen s == " " or s == null
22
         set unitid = unitid+s 
23
      endloop
24
25
      loop
26
      set i = i+1
27
      set s = SubString(chat,i,i+1)
28
      exitwhen s == " " or s == null
29
         set count= count+s 
30
      endloop
31
      
32
      set i = S2I(count)
33
      loop
34
      set i = i-1
35
         call CreateUnit(PLAYER,S2A(unitid),X,Y,0)
36
      exitwhen i <= 0
37
      endloop
38
      
39
   endfunction
40
41
   private function init takes nothing returns nothing
42
       local trigger trig = CreateTrigger()
43
44
       call TriggerRegisterPlayerChatEvent(trig,PLAYER,KEY,false)
45
       call TriggerAddAction(trig,function Actions)
46
   endfunction
47
48
endlibrary


Note that i've written the code directly here, not tested, it could have errors, also you need to follow exactly this pattern :
-spawn unitid X

Where X is the numbers of units (optional).
We could improve the script and allow or not more spaces between the arguments, and add safety, but oh well i have not found an interesting string parsing library, so meh ...

                    Now since i've the JNGP again, i've tried and fixed the two syntax errors.
The code seems to work as it should, after a short test with these commands :

-spawn hfoo 3
-spawn hpea
