Arrays of Arrays

[Unregister]

Is it possible? Like in java some thing Int[][]

Nope. WC doesn't allow maps or super customization, so you can't have arrays of arrays. You have to have an array of someat.

:-/ it would make thing i trying to do some much ezier

In my map I use a system that simulates an array of an array. If you had 8 players and 4 values for each, you would want Array[8][4]. In simulation, just make an array of dimension 32 and then use the formula ([(player number) - 1] x 4 + position) to access different parts. Player 1 gets spots 0-3, and player 2 gets 4-7, etc.

Ya. But still it would be much easier with an array of array.

I've just done the same thing with an array for 4 players and 8 regions each. I need to refer to an 8*8 grid of regions now, and it's looking like it'll have to be an array of 64 regions. I couldn't find any way to enumerate anything other than units, players and integers. Is there custom code possible that will look at each region and conditionally add it to an array?

There is no array-of-array thing even in Jass, without using workarounds like handle variables.

Stonecutter, you'll either have to add them in manually or create the grid regions using a few loops and a formula or two in triggers.
