2d array help

[Nailgun]

Currently Im working on a map where I need to keep track of whos allied to who, and to make things a lot easier I am trying to use 2d arrays which i have only recently heard about. This is my attempt, It may not be standard procedure for making it but I can t do the math to figure if it will work or bug.

Here goes. My 2d global variable is allied (boolean) [100]

• allying
  • Events
    • Dialog - bla bla bla a button is clicked for _ dialogue is clicked by a player (1-10)
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Clicked dialog button) Equal to The right button
          • Then - Actions
            • Set allied[(((Player number of (Triggering player)) x 10) + ((Integer A) - 1))] = True
          • Else - Actions
    • Dialog - Clear bla bla bla

Its very diffficult for me to test this by my self, so i am asking you oh wise and mighty hiveworkshop.

ewwww

why are you doing this

You need number of players of array[number of players] to store boolean alliance states, e.x:

Player1[16] Player2[16] Player[16] etc

If you insist on using 1D array, you need an array that is at least 12x12 in size.

2d arrays are best done by vJASS and more easily, 2d arrays in GUI is difficult and will take a lot IF/THEN/ELSE actions.

I don't really understand the sense, too

Lets say we want to make a system for random item droping from a slain creature.

The system depends on two variable the creature level and the Hero level, those 2 variables will reflect the worthy of the item.

So, ItemDropped = ItemTable[HeroLevel][CreatureLevel] that for a 2d array.

But in GUI,

IF HeroLevel = 1
THEN ItemDroped = ItemTable1[CretureLevel]
ELSE

--

IF HeroLevel = 2
THEN ItemDroped = ItemTable2[CretureLevel]
ELSE

--

IF HeroLevel = 3
THEN ItemDroped = ItemTable3[CretureLevel]
ELSE

Another example

• Init 10 Items
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- Potions --------
    • -------- Healing Potions --------
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 5, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set HealingPotion[(Integer A)] = Minor Healing Potion
    • For each (Integer A) from 6 to 15, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set HealingPotion[(Integer A)] = Light Healing Potion
    • -------- Mana Potions --------
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 5, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set ManaPotion[(Integer A)] = Mana Vial
    • For each (Integer A) from 6 to 15, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set ManaPotion[(Integer A)] = Greater Mana Vial
    • -------- Items --------
    • -------- Set 1 --------
    • Set ItemSet1[1] = Ring of Energy
    • Set ItemSet1[2] = Ring of Intelligence
    • Set ItemSet1[3] = Ring of Strength
    • -------- Set 2 --------
    • Set ItemSet2[1] = Periapt of Vitality
    • Set ItemSet2[2] = Leather Armor
    • Set ItemSet2[3] = Ring of Attack
    • -------- Set 3 --------
    • Set ItemSet3[1] = Magi's medallion of life
    • Set ItemSet3[2] = Ring of Agility
    • Set ItemSet3[3] = Pebble of Life
    • -------- Gold --------
    • Set Gold[1] = 1 Gold
    • Set Gold[2] = 2 Gold
    • Set Gold[3] = 3 Gold
    • Set Gold[4] = 4 Gold
    • Set Gold[5] = 5 Gold
    • Set Gold[6] = 6 Gold
    • Set Gold[7] = 7 Gold
    • Set Gold[8] = 8 Gold
    • Set Gold[9] = 9 Gold
    • Set Gold[10] = 10 Gold
    • Set Gold[11] = 11 Gold
    • Set Gold[12] = 12 Gold
    • Set Gold[13] = 13 Gold
    • Set Gold[14] = 14 Gold
    • Set Gold[15] = 15 Gold

As you see I used more than a variable to create more than one set

Yes, that 2D array will work.

I don't really understand the sense, too

Say, every player got 5 heroes, and you dont want to make 12 variables, then you use 2d arrays.

loop
    exitwhen i > 5
    set Hero[GetPlayerId(<Player>)*5 + i] = null
    set i = i + 1
endloop

Just an example, you can do a whole lot with it.
This example resets all your 5 heroes, as long as you are <Player>
