Can you loop setting variables?

What do you mean mate?

Like... if i have Point Array 10, and 10 locations i wanna set them in
can i loop them so i dont have to do it manually?

I still don't really know what you mean, but maybe when you have an Array-Variable with an Index (var[x]) you could make a trigger like:

• Var
• Events
  • Every 2.00 seconds
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set MyVar[x+1] = RegionXXX

I dont really know whether something like that would work, but you should test it

Hmm. I get the feeling you're talking about the variables you set at map init.

The simple answer is no. How would you convert a loop integer into your precise grid locations (points) or in other words, how would the loop know where the location is without putting it into a variable in the first place?

I think what you're talking about borders on the use of Hash Tables, but I'm no expert. Tell me if I'm wrong.

Nah you were right. Like looping through the locations setting them. I was thinking of that when i was writing my 2nd answer
Oh well, thanks for replying. Because i had loads of variables to set and it was pissing me off.

Of course you can loop them

Like:

• loops
• loop
  • set loc1 = somewhere
  • set loc2 = loc1 offset by 300 x loop for integer A towards 10 x loop for integer A

Just random example how to use it to get (dunno circles for special effects)

But remember to remove both locations inside the loop ^^

And remember to convert it to JASS and remove the memory leaks too.

you don't need to convert it to Jass... simply use custom script

• custom script
• CustomScript: call RemoveLocation(udg_MyVar)

Ah yeh if there is some kind of patter to it you can find a formula but you have to ask yourself if it's worth it.

Doesnt seem like it. Looks hard >.<
Think ill just set them all manually..
