Hashtable Array

[hgkjfhfdsj]

any ideas on how to store arrays into hashtable? i got confused when it asked for index..eg

    local timer t = CreateTimer() 
    loop
        exitwhen i == 5
        set udg_Wisp<i> = CreateUnit() 
        call SaveUnit(Hashtable, 0, GetHandleId(t), udg_Wisp<i>)
        set i = i + 1
    endloop</i></i>

how does unit get saved into the hashtable? and my main question is how to i load it? do i need to make another loop?? and do i use that second '0' as an array index? if so how?

    local timer t = CreateTimer() 
    loop
        exitwhen i == 5
        set udg_Wisp<i> = CreateUnit() 
        call SaveUnit(Hashtable, i, GetHandleId(t), udg_Wisp<i>)
        set i = i + 1
// ...
        set wisp<i> = LoadUnit(Hashtable, i, GetHandleId(t))

    endloop</i></i></i>

Well, the function you're looking for is [ljass]call SaveUnitHandle()[/ljass], but just an observation: you should switch i and GetHandleId(t), if t is always one units. This way all of the wisps will be stored under one parent. Right now you have slot 1-t through 5-t, if you switch it you will have t-1 through t-5. Do you understand the difference? You're using up 5 spots in the hashtable currently, if you switch it you will be using up 1.

SaveUnitHandle>> lol xD freehand
slot 1-t through 5-t> so mission key is the parent and key is the child? or the other way

The first key to pop up is the parent key because when you use [ljass]call FlushChildHashtable(udg_hash, key)[/ljass] the key is what is used to clear that section of the hashtable. With the way you're doing you would have to clear it 5 times, instead of just 1 by doing it the other way.

For instance:

Your way would be

call FlushChildHashtable(Hashtable, 1)
call FlushChildHashtable(Hashtable, 2)
call FlushChildHashtable(Hashtable, 3)
call FlushChildHashtable(Hashtable, 4)
call FlushChildHashtable(Hashtable, 5)

The other way would just be:

call FlushChildHashtable(Hashtable, GetHandleId(t))
