System Advanced Indexing & Data Storage

[Azlier]

Hahahaha! You have been screwed over by your own script!

 

[Jesus4Lyf]

Better than being screwed over by somebody else's script. I can fix things this way.

Not that it's a bug, but, I guess it's not right.

Edit: It might even be time I made Event use a doubly linked list. Hm...

Oh sorry, i have a problem with AIDS when I try to save my map
Step 2 (struct) :banghead:
This is problem:

AIDS requires a newer version of JASSHelper than that which is included in the Jass Newgen Pack.

Get the newest version of JASSHelper here.

You probably need to update JassHelper to allow for static ifs.

If that isn't the reason, it may be some weird bug to do with static ifs.

Edit:

Oooh, nicely done Darth...

Oh thanks!

I updated Jasshelper
when I review ...last page

EDIT: Oops.

Nice system.

 

[Romek]

Update your Jasshelper.

Saw a cool update on JassHelper that makes all module onInits fire before struct onInits. I might make this rely on it to make all units initialise before struct onInits fire. :thup:

Still doesn't make GetUnitId perfect. You need to simply check and register units when an order with no target is issued.

Then you can pretty much do away with GetUnitIndex. (But don't get rid of it.)

 

[Tom_Kazansky]

ermm.. I have one question:

struct myStruct extends array
//! runtextmacro AIDS()

//.... other things
endstruct

so when I want to get the struct myStruct attached to a unit, I just have to:
[LJASS]local myStruct var = myStruct[<A not null unit>][/LJASS]
right ?

off: @Romek, Alizer: cool avatar

Yessir. Using a null unit will throw a debug message to warn you, and return 0. (I've had that really help once, actually...)

>Still doesn't make GetUnitId perfect. You need to simply check and register units when an order with no target is issued.
I'm on it, it's on my list.

I've realized recently that you can use safely an array member inside a struct only if the instance is allocated.
So like all Indexer systems, it's not the case here, so it doesn't matter that the struct needs to extends array.

On the same way, not static members can't have default values, but since you don't allocate an instance it also doesn't matter.

I'm quite surprised nobody said it when i was whining about these lack of features

Bolded part is false. AutoStruct in AutoIndex actually allocates structs, so they can have default values and may use array members just fine.

I saw that the maximum amount of units that can be indexed is 8191.
Couldn't you use a hashtable to increase this? It'd be a bit slower, but the functionality would be better, IMO.
Or better yet, keep it the way it is now, and add functionality for hashtables.

Might be completely wrong, but still.

 

[Troll-Brain]

And for what silly reason you would have more than 8190 units simultaneously on the map ?
Also then it would required the user to use extended structs, pretty lame.

Why can't I use "set thistype.dx = GetUnitX(thistype.unit) - GetUnitX(thistype.unit)"? (Don't blame me for the result - It's just there to be replaced later on)

JassHelper just says: line xxx - _get_unit is not a static member of AI (the struct's name).

I'm not sure if you're using this inside a non-static method, but try using 'this' instead of 'thistype'. 'thistype' refers to the struct type, not necessarily any specific instance of the struct. 'this' refers to the inherently passed instance of the struct.

 

[Lehona]

I use it in a static method and this is not of a type which allows . syntax (says JassHelper).

Uhh sorry to play a moderator but where is the AIDS question here ?!!
Make a thread.
