[General] Unit Indexing

[yeohxin]

I was wandering, that if we could use unit handle to replace a indexing system. I know it sounds complicated but please do take a look on the triggers example below.

Triggers

• Trigger 1
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set damage[(Key (Attacking unit))] = (damage[(Key (Attacking unit))] + (Damage taken))
    • Set Game_TotalDamage = (integer + (Damage taken))

• Trigger 2
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • .........
    • Set damage[tempInteger] = (damage[tempInteger] + (Damage taken))
    • Set Game_TotalDamage = (integer + (Damage taken))

For the trigger 2 the tempInteger is set above these line and it represents the unit.

So can the first trigger works? Which is better if we ignores it's efficientcy.

Key(unit) produces a very large number, something like 1 100 000 000. Arrays only have indexes upto 8191.
