[Coding] Core Libraries

[Doomlord]

In order to avoid library requirement duplication (systems using different libraries that serve the same purpose [for instance Vexorian's Table and Bribe's New Table] may collide), I will now post the core libraries here. Map systems are to require these libraries only.

• Bribe's New Table
• Nestharus' Unit Indexer
• Vexorian's TimerUtils Nestharus' TimerTools
• Nestharus' CTL
• Troll-Brain's UnitLL Rising_Dusk's GroupUtils
• looking_for_help's Physical Damage Detection
• Nestharus' World Bounds
• Nestharus' Event
• Dirac's Missile
• Anitarf's IsTerrainWalkable
• Magtheridon96's RegisterPlayerUnitEvent
• Nestharus' Dummy
• Bribe's SpellEffectEvent (?)
• Nestharus' Alloc (?)

List open to change and improvement. The (?) indicates my own uncertainty of whether we should use it.

Im implementing Vexorian's TimerUtils, and mostly just using table to do what TimerUtils does to not stress the system so much

I made alloc as well, but that doesnt matter which one we use, they all are modules so can be implemented easily and have the same name so no problem with changing it

I would rather prefer UnitLL by Troll-Brain rather then GroupUtils.
TrollBrain uses one group, while GroupUtils uses array of groups, and also GroupUtils does debug hook DestroyGroup HookDestroyGroup

Other then that, not bad(maybe CTL would cause some problems for me, but meh)

edit: If you need, I made struct uniqueId, which can be instanciatedy to 8191 instances, and each instance returns unique integers to that instance(something like Alloc, but instancable)

 

[Doomlord]

Updated. And yes made it please

Should I add any other libs?

 

[edo494]

btw, how do you want to share bounty? like in dota, where the unit that hits the opponent last gets all bounty? because I also made(not yet approved, requires a bit of modifications) library GetKiller, which will yield the unit that dealt the most damage instead of the one that last hits(it has some things in it, like using custom events and not ones made by blizz, because my trigger may fire later then trigger with EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_DEATH event registered to it.

 

[Doomlord]

Alright. That sounds nice. I was kinda thinking about that too but shouldn't this be in the System discussion?

 

[edo494]

well yea that is good point

If you are going to use Nes' Dummy, delete my DummyRecycler.
We don't actually need TimerTools, CTL does the thing.

 

[Doomlord]

Alright. Updated.

 

[Doomlord]

So after some discussion with Mag and Purge, I have changed some library requirements for the sake of JASS2 coders since some systems aren't JASS2-friendly due to module usage. Thanks everyone.

 

[edo494]

do we even need grouputils?

 

[Doomlord]

We don't need to use all of them

 

[Almia]

Add Map Bounds by Adiktuz.

 

[edo494]

what use would that bring?

 

[Almia]

So that we don't need to code our bound checking. Map Bounds does it.


Do we even need TimerUtils?

 

[edo494]

we already have WorldBound by Nes, doesnt it do the same thing?

I would say yes, its easy to use and allows for instance passing to static methods

 

[Almia]

Map Bounds are functions for World Bounds. World Bounds are just static data of the world bounds -_-
