[JASS] gg_rct_number_(variable?)

[Big Dub]

Is it possible to do something like this in jass?

function Trig_Set_Regions_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    set bj_forLoopAIndex = 0
    set bj_forLoopAIndexEnd = 85
    loop
        exitwhen bj_forLoopAIndex > bj_forLoopAIndexEnd
        set udg_FFregions[GetForLoopIndexA()] = gg_rct_FF_00_Copy_(GetForLoopIndexA())
        set bj_forLoopAIndex = bj_forLoopAIndex + 1
    endloop
endfunction

Because setting 85 regions manually doesn't really thrill me...

you have to set each rect to a variable your self you cant use a loop for it because the rect has a set name

I was afraid of that...

why would you need 85? isn't there some way you can lower the number by somehow reusing regions? you could probably move them i think...then again doing that might end up being more complicated than the variable. variables sure are a chore, huh? the worst part is i don't know when you should use variable and when you shouldn't precisely but i guess i must be getting some stuff right because my map doesn't really crash anymore i think...

Why are yo using those Loop Indexs.. wouldnt it be easier on yourself to make a local integer i = 0 or something, and manually set how much you want the loop to run?

Is it more efficient or something? I dont get it.

BWAHAHAHA! I solved the problem!
I feel so smart now.

See the problem was I have a game that has a MASSIVE library. And players need to search the whole thing to find a book. So I have loops that check to see if the players are in the regions marked for searching and I needed to assign all the regions to a region array variable.

And I've done it! And somewhat easily.
I wrote a program in c++ that saved all the lines as a txt then I pasted it into the editor. BWAHAHAHA

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

int main () 
{
  int x;
  cout<<"Writing file.\n";
  ofstream myfile;
  myfile.open ("code.txt");
  for(x=0; x<=96; x++)
  {
    myfile << "    set udg_zBookRegions["<< x <<"] = gg_rct_z_Books_"<< x <<"\n";
    }
  myfile.close();
  cout<<"Finished writing file.\n";
  system("pause");
  return (0);
}

You know the object editor for ability levels can do this too, right?
Ability description: set udg_zBookRegions[1] = gg_rct_z_Books_1
Auto fill levels.

 

[Big Dub]

You can put jass into ability descriptions?
Wouldn't that just display the jass and not actually use it?

You still need to copy each single one out....

Whether there would be a way to make that work or not I still like my way. It's very adaptable.
