    Is it possible to make a region array?

    I understand that the GUI "region" global variable type is for rects and that there is no type for JASS regions. That being said, is there a way to can take a series of rects and turn them into an array of JASS regions? Could it be faked with a vars handler? Or a script of sorts? Any...
