[JASS] Handle Var Systems

[Homicide13]

A handle var system can only hold 522 things at a time, correct?

It's some number, but I don't think that's (even close to) it.

Unless my memory deceives me, I seem to recall a gamecache holding 256... but that sounds a bit low.

 

[Homicide13]

:S ok, thanks
i read somewhere that a game cache could only hold so many things, and i think it also said that the WC3 cache doesn't "flush" properly...but i kinda doubt that >_>

 

[Silvenon]

When storing, just remember to flush it. But in this modern world, game cache can be totally avoided.....

is there any reason why i cant have two game cache systems in the same map, to get around this limit? i would think you can but i seem to be running into some problems and its not really working, so i dont know if its the cache or just bad coding :S

 

[Silvenon]

Then you would have two game caches, then you would have to check if one game cache is reached it's limit and then store the data in the second game cache. But I don't think reaching the limit is very common, and with vJass it's almost impossible.

your assuming im using a game cache for spells, which im not >_>
i have two different caches, one for attaching integers to units to represent their coordinates on the grid iv made (think like a chess map, but not really) and one to store coordinates of created units (circles of power) for movement. however, im assuming by your post there would really be no problem with having multiple game caches, so it must be my coding....do you want me to post it all up? (i cant do it this moment (its all on my other comp) and i dont wanna post it all if you dont feel like looking through it >_>)

256 was the limit for the amount of gamecaches (singleplayer) I think Vex discovered. I don't know of any limit to a single gamecache itself as I've never encountered the limit.

 

[Silvenon]

And you probably never will.....
