Noooooooooessss replace most arrays with non-arrayed variables. Arrays takes too much space to be worth it.

Why you use customscript for LoadInteger only but not when you save all the other variables into the hashtable? Don't know what their native name is? :)

  • Hashtable - Save SS_Casted as (Key Boolean) of SS_RegisteredKey in SS_Hash
  • Hashtable - Save SS_Current as 5 of SS_Key[1] in SS_Hash
  • Hashtable - Save SS_SSLevel as 6 of SS_Key[1] in SS_Hash
  • Hashtable - Save True as (Key On) of SS_Key[1] in SS_Hash
And there's a few more concerning if condition and variables.

TempAbility -> OriginalAbility
TempAbility2 -> StolenAbility

Users would not understand what the heck is TempAbility1/2.
When they read variable name Original/Stolen - Ability, they would understand it a bit (compared to TempAbility1/2)

Run a trigger, is you do the saving inside another trigger (fires off by running trigger action).
You're making the user of your trigger to be harder to configure your trigger.

Look at some of my system (Signature), it uses this method, saving the values in another trigger (Item Weight (setup save) / Item Durability (setup save) / Frictional Knockback (event save) / etc)

You can learn something from it, apparently it is called as "encapsulation", one of programming-style.

Ok so silly question but how do i import this spell? I get the error(s) that
Line 142: Expected a variable name
set udg_SS_OriginalAbility = 'AOww'
Same for lines 144,148,150,154,156,160,162,166,168
And for Line 184: Expected a name
call SaveInteger(udg_SS_Hash,udg_SS_OriginalAbility,1,udg_SS_StolenAbility

Thx in advance
