[Trigger] 2d-array in GUI?

[Pyrese]

Is it possible to create a 2d array variable in gui?

if so, eh..how?

 

[Horn]

Yeah, but why bother? The fact that you know what a 2d array is suggests you shoud be using JASS.

There's no such thing as a 2d array in JASS or GUI at all. The only way to accomplish it is either having a function that lists out arrays, or by having a Dynamic Array of Arrays (JassHelper)

The latter supports only a few slots (Sqrt(8192), to be exact)

The fact that you know what a 2d array is suggests you shoud be using JASS.

Too true.

 

[Horn]

Listing the arrays is how you often do it anyway. Doing that in GUI would be pretty nasty.

declare the normal array of size sizex * sizey
when you want to use it, lets say you named it arr just do arr[y*sizex+x]

yeah. been doing a lot of java work for school. Im starting to learn jass at the moment, but i dont want to slow down the work on my map to spend all of my time going over jass functions.

Thank you for your votes of confidence =)

i'll try tinkering with atropos's idea, but i foresee overlaps in my pointers.

I know jass isnt a full language...but @)(&% i hope the second language really is the hardest. Cant get it out of my head "well, i could do ...no..no I cant, I dont know how yet.."

edit: ah, only anything times 1 overlaps...ok so just make x and y 1 larger than need be and use + 1 when thinking over as a 2d array?

edit2: doh...nevermind forgot to change what i was adding
