Arrays??

[Khanaris]

What do arrays do in variables?

 

[Darg]

they allow your variables to have "slots", meaning that you can store multiple values inside them.

e.g.

integer variable:

i = 4

I can only store 1 value in that variable!


integer variable array:

i[0] = 4
i[1] = 5
i[2] = 7
i[3] = 12

I can store multiple values into whatever slots of the array I desire. you can have as many slots as you like, though I think the editor limit might be 1024.

Arrays were confusing for me at first too; here's an example of how u would use them:
If I wanted to make a Paintball map and display text containing a player's name whenever a player died, I would make a string variable called "Playername" and I would make it an array. Then I would do in an action of a trigger:
Set Playername[1] = Name of player 1
Set Playername[2] = Name of player 2
Set Playername[3] = Name of player 3
(and so on...)
Then in another trigger I would put:
Event - Player-owned unit event: A unit owned by (Player 1) (dies)
Action - Game Display text: Function: Concatenate Strings:
(Playername[1]) + (just got burnt).
It would display in-game "Blademaster_X just got burnt" if I was player 1 and my unit died.

Arrays allow one variable to store multiple values; so now u dont have to make a myriad of variables.
