moving a unit upon a grid

[maerlyn]

I have a grid made with tiles in a Dalaran map. It looks like a diamond:

  /\
 /\/\
/\/\/\
\/\/\/
 \/\/
  \/

Just bigger. Anyway, I'm wondering: what's the best way to move a unit around from point to point? Each possible location that a unit could be is at a blank space. ex: /\

Right now I have Regions named at each point in this manner:

    00
   /  \
  01  10
 / \  / \
02  11  20
 \ / \  /
  12  21
   \  /
    22

But to manipulate them, I would need to access the X and Y offsets as integers. And they're strings. Could I do that in JASS? Could I take 00 and apply DOWN to it so that the unit on 00 would move to 01? Would assigning each region to a variable work? An array of arrays would work, but I don't know if I could do that: ex. Position[1[2]] for region 12.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

I dont really understand what you are talking about, but try
unit- move instantly?

I see your problem as trying to get an array with two indexes; an array of an array. If there's something else you want, please say what.

You can't do it, but you can fake it. With your example of Position[1[2]]. Let's say Position[x[y]]. You'd have a regular array of regions, and access it with Position[(x * 3) + y].

Yes, good idea. My entire idea of regions is clunky though. I think I'll just use x and y coordinates.
