custom unit value data base

[Recom]

I'm still figuring out vJass and OOP and want to create a simple system that handles custom unit values, such as:

library MyUnitSystem initializer OnInit

    globals
        public integer array Strenght
        public integer array Agility
        public integer array Intelligence
        public integer array Defense
        public integer array MagicResist
        public real array Damage
        public real array AttackSpeed
            //ect...
    endglobals

     function GetDamagePhysical takes integer id returns real
        local real r
            set r = I2R(Strenght[id]) * 2.5
        return r
    endfunction
    
            //...

   private function OnInit takes nothing returns nothing
        local trigger trig = CreateTrigger()
    endfunction
endlibrary

I want to be able to access and manipulate these values easily.

What would be the best approach? Arrays+AIDS? Structs? ...

Structs for sure.
Then i think you might use a hashtable.
But you want to create a data base based on custom value or a custom stat system ?

It is bad to use custom value of units as a lot of systems and spells on here will bug if you change the units custom value.

Easiest way is to use GetHandleId() and store the struct id into a hashtable keyed to that units handle.

Explain more on what you want to do so i can help you more.

I don't want to use the "normal" values that that you can edit in the editor, but create my own, i.e. "Charisma" or "Wisdom", stuff like that. this would be a a custom stat system then?

 

[deathismyfriend]

i believe you are talking about a custom stat system yes.

Use a hashtable with GetHandleId() and store that units charisma and wisdom in the struct. Then load the struct by using the handle id of that unit.

Alternatively and a better solution.
Use the units custom value with bribes unit indexer and store the structs id in an array with the units custom value.

You said it so well bro that i nothing more to say ^^'
Maybe the fact to use a Table library to use the same hashtable.
