Empty Array

[nedio95]

Hello

This question is a mess between GUI and JASS. I am using GUI with custom scripts inbetween lines when needed.

So the concept is as follows:

• Set TempUnitGroup = units in range of point matching unit has ability;
• Set TempInteger = -1;
• Unit Group - Pick all units in TempUnitGroup
  • Loop
    • Set TempInteger = TempInteger + 1
    • Set ArrayedInteger[TempInteger] = Level of ability for picked unit
• BiggestLevel = ArrayedInteger[0]
• If TempInteger > 1
  • Loop for Index 0 to TempInteger
    • Set BiggestLevel = Math - Get Max (BiggestLevel, ArrayedInteger[Index+1])
• Use BiggestLevel

What the problem is:

I have this arrayed integer which will store level of ability for a unit I need only for a single loop and thought of making it local

So, I tried making:

• Custom script: set udg_TempInt = CountUnitsInGroup(udg_TempUnitGroup)
• Custom script: local integer ArrayedInteger[udg_TempInteger]

Which will get populated inside the loop, but I get an error

Long story short: I want to turn udg_ArrayedVariable[] into a local array of integers, but as I suspect this is impossible/not the correct way.
I suspect that the error occurs because I am required to give a value to the variable ? How wrong am I ?

I think it is [array size]

set all values to null afterwards.

Forgot to mention the error is: Expected 'endif'
on this line:

  local integer LevelMax[udg_TempInt]

Edit// wops didn't see that answer

So something like... wait... isn't udg_TempInt a valid array size ??

 

[Chaosy]

globals
	integer array data [99]
endglobals

function SSS takes nothing returns nothing
	set data[0] = -8000
endfunction

Apparently you can't use a local array variable..

Really... that's evil...

PS: your avatar is sick... literally...

Yes you can use local arrays...
It's just that all arrays in warcraft 3 have the same size so you dont need to specify it.

local integer array x

Also, you first have to declare all locals and then you're allowed to write statements.

So if I use a local array I don't need to define a size, but if I want a global array I need to?

Seems like I learned a little from this as well.

That worked. Still... I do not want it there but deep inside a nested if-then-else block...

Huh, when you are creating globals (udg_) variables with the variable editor some can be expanded during runtime but other are limited to what you set the array size...
Still I do not know how the engine works and if it allows you to use only the user defined array size of the later ones but creates them up to 2^13...

global arrays also have the same size. the size you input in the gui editor just says how many elements are initalized.
Basically a loop from 0 to your value and set array[index] = yourvalue.
I think most of the time thats pretty useless as arrays have a default value of 0/0.0/false/null.

Seems to work indeed.. sorry for giving false information

Ok guys, Tnx +rep both of you.
I converted it to custom script and now I understand what was the issue.

ThreadSolved = True;
void Thread()
{
  If((AnybodyAddSomeThing == false) && (ThreadSolved == true))
  {
     CloseThread();
  }
}

If !AnybodyAddSomething && ThreadSolved
{
....Too much used to JASS
}
