How can I name a created unit
« on: 30 Sep 2002, 01:18:57 »
Hi. I've been playing about with creating units in a script. My problem is that I don't know how to name them or identify them for the rest of the script to work. Any ideas or script snippets would be very appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks LCD, all is now clear. I thought I had to name the created unit with a _this select 0 or whatever. I did not realise a plain name would work inside the script. I Learn something new every day. Now if someone could donate me a few brain cells to make up for the billion or so I blitzed in my youth I might just get ontop of this scripting biz. Thanks again. Geffo out.
