It's just seems stupid to write "Left" as your title but actually you still need thw a lot, Idk what's your mission by moving all of your resource there and delete everything here.. Actually, I suggest you just to come back here (why not?). Because, yeah, honestly I need you.. I got a lot of questions for you (idk that this will be a good reason for you to come back :hohum:)..

Let's be perfectly honest here: there NEVER was an issue with the efficiency of unit indexers and how index and deindex events got handled. The overhead of pseudo-event trigger evaluations is a wet fart compared to the actual steaming dump mountain that is the overhead of creating a unit.

I'm all in for more readable code and better API though.

I added tutorials and labs to the map. They will teach you all about how to use the new unit indexer.

I was going to add GUI support, but really, Trigger kills GUI support, so I can't really do it. I can, but it wouldn't be fully functional, which I like. I'll have to remove GUI support for DDS during the update too.

edit
Don't use Unit Indexer yet. I changed Trigger behavior because it running references before code was bad, lol. I need to update tutorials and the UnitIndexer modules. UnitIndexer can now go back to a single module and work correctly. GlobalEvent.ON_DEINDEX will still always run after Event.ON_DEINDEX.


If you all want to start coding insane resources, use Trigger. It is one of the best things I have ever written ;o. I can't live without it now :D.

JASS:
private static method init takes nothing returns nothing
        local thistype this = 8191
    
        loop
            set unitIndex = this
			set unitIndexer = this
            
            exitwhen this == 0
            set this = this - 1
        endloop
    endmethod

Uh

That's for the delegates. It was a way to minimize trigger generation and code generation. The methods are not static, so I had to set the arrays. Blame vJASS for not providing a better way to do this.

That is correct.

Unit Indexer is by no means done yet. I think I've settled on a final version, but I'm not going to put it up until I finish the tutorial on the new module.


Feel free to comment on the new approach of global vs local events ^)^. I take this even farther with the new module.

Keep in mind that trigger references and so on are faster than TriggerEvaluate. Empty trigger references add no overhead.

Ok, I just spent a very long time working on Unit Indexer.

First, I finished up the tutorials and labs. There are 22 triggers of labs/tutorials. These go from the very basic to the most advanced things you can do with Unit Indexer.

Next, I wrote test cases. I tested the hell out of this thing. The reason was because the modules are now very, very complex. The macro is even more complex >.<.

Next, there are 3 thingies

UnitIndex module
UnitIndexEx module
CREATE_LOCAL_UNIT_INDEX textmacro

Go through the tutorials/labs to learn how to use them.


This new update primarily focuses on supporting local events. No other Unit Indexer does local events! Not only this, but it does proper initialization with local events o_O. If you look at Test 5, you'll see what I'm talking about. Ofc, I doubt you'll understand it unless you go through the tutorials first : ).

The modules are now incredibly complex. They are simple, but... they really morph depending on what code you have implemented. There are 30 different main cases for this code morphing between UnitIndex, UnitIndex, and CREATE_LOCAL_UNIT_INDEX. You can look at LocalUnitIndex Test Cases to see all 30. I tested all 30 of them for proper code execution.

There is just so much : ). Really, I don't think Unit Indexer can be compared to any other unit indexing system anymore. This huge update would not have been possible without Trigger. Trigger is really amazing for local events.


Anyways, I hope you all enjoy it. I certainly spent countless hours doing this update.

The tutorials are located in the map. Be sure to go through them. Just trying to work off of the API isn't going to help you much. The final tutorial is pretty damn cool ^_^. jesus4lyf created 2 guards for each indexed unit in his demo map. He destroyed these guards on deindex. I did something similar, but with local events. You'll see >: o.

well, bribe's GUI auto indexer is good enough for any map I guess. you should not give your life just to make a perfect indexer? at least, it's my suggestion.. Idk that it will be faster or what, but when I was trying to import one of your library, at last I need to import more than 15 other required libraries, that was just crazy..

copy the required's folder in the map to your map and delete what you already have

I suggest you delete the old required resources since every required resource had formatting updates and what not

it's okay if all possible required library is contained in one folder.. look at this image..
133548d1395246125-snippet-gradienttext-.jpg

I only need the TextTag and that's the result of linking-requirements
and you should know that I haven't finished importing all the required bcs I was something like rage surrender :p

and since you moved everything to github I need to search all the requirements one by one... :hohum:

Hm, I tried with both Vexorians and Cohadars Jasshelper but still it doesn't compile. It always throws a error on

static method operator enabled=takes boolean enable returns nothing

If I fix it (seems there is a space missing) it throws subsequent errors. All I did was placing this struct in the testmap:

JASS:
struct MyStruct extends array
    implement UnitIndex
endstruct

it's not about your tuts..

I just want to report that your codeless save/load w nw is not working, I can't load anything, no matter what I do.. so please, explain to me everything I need to do, to implement it and make it work, I have read all your instruction there at demo map but still not working.. Even those debug messages (like "Currently load feature is disabled") is not displayed..

okay, I'm enough with off topic ._.

I checked out the local indexing. It seems like a pretty cool feature. But it seems pretty easy to implement by itself, no? Just a struct, -> register enter map (or index event), -> create struct with unit. Map unit to struct using Table.

But maybe I have the wrong idea. I didn't get the complete gist of what its uses were from the demo, but
maybe you can elaborate a bit? :)

so on deindex, how would you run your deindex event for that unit?

on index, how would modules you implement into your struct run index events when your struct does?

on index, how do other structs run index events when your struct does?

how would you disable events for your struct?


If you answered if-statements, those aren't local events. Those are global events with conditions in them.

edit
suppose some struct has data in it

you have another struct that relies on the data of that first struct

how do you accomplish this? If you use global events, the first struct deindexes before the second one does, so the second one loses the data and errors out.

Nestharus, I don't have time to read the code but I'm curious what it is.

Is this just an updated UnitIndexer or have you done something unique with this new post?

Edit: And you should really enable visitor messages, I wanted to suggest a nice book to you but I'm not going to make a github issue over it -_-

I've done something unique. This is Unit Indexer with local events.

Feel free to open the map and look at the last demo to see what I'm talking about.

Normally, you would do this by chaining up TriggerEvaluate.

In the past, this was done with if-statements.

Both of the above give incorrect behavior. Both of the above also add different types of overhead.


This has no extra overhead and has correct behavior ; ).

Well, I updated this to use the new BooleanExpression and Trigger libraries that allow you to run stuff in reverse order. This fixed the behavior problem the UnitIndex struct had with deindex events running in the incorrect order.

I changed the static ifs around to be a bit smarter (I discovered some super buggy jasshelper behavior /cry). I also added a GlobalUnitIndex module, which is much like the module from the original UnitIndexer.

So system runs a tad bit faster, code's a tad bit better, and the behavior is a tad bit smerter.

For BooleanExpression, I created a simple scripting language to test it. I also ran various tests on it for leaks and so forth to make sure that it had 0 leaks.

For Trigger, I just did a few simple tests since I only changed 2 lines, lmao. Was just making sure that I didn't have to change anything else ;D. The cool thing is that you can mix reversed and regular boolean expressions and triggers with each other O_O.

I updated the tutorial to show new correct behavior, fixed some typos, and made the last lab a little bit better. I also added a tutorial/lab 0 for GlobalUnitIndex.

I revamped the test case trigger to make it easier to run the test cases. The string is now dynamically generated and all you have to do is move x's around on some macros.


People may be asking why the drastic changes came about. Read http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/lab-715/events-revisited-252961/ ^)^. This is probably the only system that correctly handles events atm : ). I'll be doing DDS next. I'm really not sure what to do with UnitEvent because it is buggy as hell. Multiple undefend abilities will kill it. I'm also trying to detect hex on it, and the only way to detect it is to count the number of undefends.

so I have a question. How can you excuse the amount of code this has? Because remember we are in jass, and we dont need robustestestest code there is, we just need most of the time something that is functional. I dont know of anyone but you that ever gave a shit about local and global events. As long as the unit gets Indexed, I am fine, and so are 99.97% of users in Hive(made up statistics for the win!).

Because currently this has so much code in it that I really think its easier to just hook some natives

so I have a question. How can you excuse the amount of code this has? Because remember we are in jass, and we dont need robustestestest code there is, we just need most of the time something that is functional. I dont know of anyone but you that ever gave a shit about local and global events. As long as the unit gets Indexed, I am fine, and so are 99.97% of users in Hive(made up statistics for the win!).

depends on what your needs are. pick what you need.

As Ruke pointed out, keep in mind that most of the code is in macro form and is in static ifs. This means that you only generate as much code as you need. If you need something crazy, then you can have it. If you don't, then you don't need it. This generates even less code than the original Unit Indexer does when using the GlobalUnitIndex struct (entire library + modules).
