Way to store custom values ?

[Farban]

Hi

I have custom values such as toughness, weapon skill that I need to store for each unit. The unit health and energy vitals are already used so I cant use them. What can I use to store custom values and attach them to a unit? So similar to a multidimensional array

eg

array(unit => Marine001, weapon skill => 80, toughness => 40)

is this possible?

You should be able to use the standard custom values. You can use the "Set Unit Custom Value" action to save a value in the specified index on the unit. You can then use the "Custom Value of Unit" function to retrieve a unit's custom value on a specific index.

You could also look into creating Attributes (a type of behaviour) and giving these to your units. From there it would be easy to make the attributes actually mean something (e.g. you could make a toughness attribute and make each point increase the units armor by 1)
