[JASS] About 1.24 patch

[Ostralyan.]

I know for patch 1.24 they realeased alot of new stuff mainly on hastables
i'm curious what they are used for tho, because i looked at a tutorial on hashtables on the tutorial system and it uses GUI but it looks like all it does is make a spell MUI with global variables.

my question is that is it possible to use Hashtables in jass WITHOUT using globals? and also does hashtables replace kattana's handlevars??
so in this case should i start using hashtables or stick wtih handlevars?

handle vars are outdated since they were designed like the slow gamecache hashtables are just a new and faster way in storing values but since you got structs in vJass this is just replaces things like H2I etc. like the TimerUtils and GroupUtils were used to use

Nobody should be using kattana's handlevars in the first place -_-

Well you can use a local hashtable, which wouldn't make much sense -_-

no no I know there's no point in using a local hashteble, what I meant was can I use local variables with a global hashtable in the tutorial for hashtables they use glObal hashtable and global variables.



Thanks for all your responses btw

why would you not be able to save a local var in the global hashtable? try to test things before asking

... i know that i can also use every single BJ function but that does't mean i should, i need to know is HOW.
