    Advanced Item Indexing ~v1.0.6~
    by kingking
        
    Advanced Item Indexing is a library that indexes your items and provide 
    a clean interface for you to manage items.
    
    ======
    APIs :
    ======
    GetItemId(item) -> integer
    - Returns item's id.
    
    GetItemById(integer) -> item
    - Returns item with assigned index

    ===============
    AItem Struct :
    ===============
    private struct Data extends array
        private method AII_onCreate takes nothing returns nothing
        endmethod
        
        implement AII
    endstruct
    
    Members :
    this.item -> item
    
    Static methods :
    AII_filter(item) -> boolean
    - Serves as filter for struct creation.
    
    Static method operators :
    <Struct>[item] -> struct
    - Return assigned struct.
    
    Methods :
    AII_onCreate()
    - Will be fired when item is indexed.

    AII_onDestroy()
    - Will be fired when item is removed.
    
    AII_addLock()
    - Add lock to struct.
    
    AII_removeLock()
    - Remove lock from struct
    
    ***The index will only be removed when all locks are released.
    
    ===============
    Limitation :
    ===============
    There is no actual O(1) operation for detecting newly created items.
    
    ================
    Implementation :
    ================
    1) Copy this trigger into your map.
    2) Replace all CreateItem with CreateItemEx in your map.
    3) Adjust the setting if you want.
    4) Enjoy! 
    
    ================
    Settings :
    ================                                                                                        */

It is very efficient, the test script ran flawlessly on my computer without FPS dropping.
The item removal detection is O(1) too. :thup:

The drawback is, you have to replace all CreateItem with CreateItemEx.

History :
  • UID - v3.0.2
    • Fixed bugs.
    • Add this.owner for module
  • v1.0.6 -
    • Fires AII_onDrop when unit sells item, if ItemEvents is implemented in the struct.
    • Deallocation requires exactly 0 for lock level.
    • Cleaned up deallocate function firer.
    • A little efficiency gain.
  • v1.0.5 -
    • Uses hash now.
    • Cleaned up/Merged some functions.
  • v1.0.4 -
    • Use single trigger for death event.
    • Fixed some initializations problem.
    • Unhooked RemoveItem.
  • v1.0.3 - First release.
 
Very cool, it's like giving AIDS to items.

Why won't hooking CreateItem work?
 
What about if I released an unnofficial update to JassHelper which can hook the return value?
 
why do we need to index items?
 
Because with this you can use AII structs which are tremendously useful?
 
why do we need to index items?
Good question.
It is useful for managing items. :)

Can be easily done. :)
The syntax is very neat as well.
 
Very useful indeed. I think it could be used to distinguish item ownership.
Question: Could this possibly be used to create a system wherein you disable units from attacking an item? It was implemented in DotA and it blew my mind on how they executed such thing.
 
thats just detecting the onattack event - where [ljass]GetTriggerWidget[/ljass] will return the attacked item. just stop the attacker!
 
Alternatively, you can use a target order event and detect if the target widget is an item and the issued order is attack. That'll do the job.
 
UID is updated to v3.0.1 now. :thup:
Some cleanups and added ItemEvents module. :)
 
Using this for a capture the flag script, each flag gets an AII struct :)

[LJASS]thistype[this.item][/LJASS] so great.
 
this would be useful, I think I'm tired of calling GetItemUserData every time I want to access an item's data :)

Very useful indeed. I think it could be used to distinguish item ownership.
Question: Could this possibly be used to create a system wherein you disable units from attacking an item? It was implemented in DotA and it blew my mind on how they executed such thing.

how about:
  • a unit is issued order to attack an item
  • create a dummy unit at item's position
  • re-order the unit to attack the dummy
  • so "dummy is attacked" equals to "item is attacked", no?
there're still some things should be checked but, well, it's basically like that :p

that's what I thought, I dont know what actually DotA do, though
 
Another library benefited from this system : :D

It is O(1)! :D
 
Oh, coupled with UID this is almost as great as AIDS :D

I love this. So much. I have Spell Structs, Item Structs, Unit Structs, all I need is Object Editor Structs and this is perfect.

Add link to Event, please?

EDIT: UID uses Table but it's not a library requirement.
 
Haven't looked at the code or anything, but I love it when people carry on great design ideas. :)
The AIDS structs concept was always immediately applicable to items in theory, so if it really works, good stuff. Azlier tried it once. Might want to refer to his thread to see what oddities he encountered! Problem with indexing systems is proving their stability... and I don't mean stress tests, I mean oddball things. =S

You know, deindex on item killed, RemoveItem, any replace or remove item BJ (think GUI wraps), items with negative hp regen (do items have hp regen? XD) ghost items (this one's important, I believe) which are items left over in wc3 from using items... yeah, items inherently leaked, off memory... etc. All tested? :p

Oh, and runes... maybe it was runes which inherently leaked, leaving a ghost item behind. Hm. :p
I have Spell Structs
OT: Ah, you use SpellStruct? Or something different...
Wasn't sure if that took off. I liked it. :)
 
Implemented it into Pudge Wars for testing purpose. Works fine, even with powerup. :p
 
still working the items systems i see. you planning on making some special map with those? what items are in pudge wars anyways? never bothered to play that map.

    I have to wait longer if I am going for food because my teeth are still messed up from the work and I still cannot eat right. Going to be a couple more months before that gets better

    My Xbox account got hijacked, and apparently I have a different one from like 10 years ago that Microsoft keeps telling me is the right one
  • Varine Varine:
    Like NO, I mean for some reason that one is attached to my email, but it's not the right one
  • Varine Varine:
    I have a different one, and that one has my credit card attached to it and I would like that credit card to not be attached to it if I can't get it back
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway Microsoft is not very helpful with this, they just keep telling me to fill out the Account Recovery form, but that just redirects me to the other account
  • The Helper The Helper:
    They should not allow you to put a credit card on a account that does not have human customer service you can call
  • Varine Varine:
    That's the only thing that got hijacked at least. I don't totally know how these integrate together, but it seems like I should be able to do this via the gamertag. Like my email is still mine, but they changed the email to that account I'm guessing.
