Arrays as Parameters

[hl2.exe]

Hey guys!
Is possible to use arrays as parameters?
example:

globals
unit array x
endglobals

function b takes unit array p returns nothing
. . .
endfunction

function a takes nothing returns nothing
. . .
call b(x)
. . .
endfunction

or something like this

No, but you could retrieve global information out of an index you pass. Save your units in a hashtable from index+1 to index+n for example and under index, you store the amount of saved units, so you know which keys you have to browse through by obtaining index.

x is just array name, while x[y] can be variable you need.
What you ask is almost same like this:

call B(integer)

I guess you ask because of problems of this type:

globals
    unit array X
endglobals

function b takes unit array p returns nothing
    . . .
endfunction

function a takes nothing returns nothing
    local unit x = X[GetUnitTypeId(GetTriggerUnit())]
    . . .
    call b(x)
    . . .
endfunction

because local unit x = X[GetUnitTypeId(GetTriggerUnit())] won't work (array max limit is 8192 while unit ID >> 8192)

You can use hashtables or other units related values (custom, point), actually you have more than few ways to do this.

Thank you very much for the explanation
