[JASS] How to use Vexorian's Table? :]

[Diehard@Azeroth]

err... im personally doing 2 functions, one for attaching a real to a trackable, and one for getting the real from the trackable, how do we do this? i tried doing the 2d Array syntax like

RealTable[t][ index ]

but it didnt work out... anyhow can you tell me how to attach using vexorians table, specifically doing 2d arrays? (cus i already know its hashtable)

 

[xD.Schurke]

as far as I know you just can store integers in the Table, but you could do something likethis

globals
     HandleTable table
endglobals

struct Real
     real r = 0
endstruct

function bla....
     local Real r = Real.create()
     set r.r = (Your Real Value)
     set table[(YourTrackable)] = r
endfunction

Though, due to the fact that its a hashtable, just a vJassified one, why cant we store integers? i mean we can do that even in normal GUI hashtable functions >_< btw thanks for help il try the techinque.... o and we hhave to use vJass ?? lol... im doing normal Jass :S [should have known from pointer vJassified hashtable... Lol]

btw i also want to attach multiple reals to the table object, so :] the 2d array things, u know anything baout that?

Table ~ hashtable, just another syntax.
If you use jass and know how hashtables work, then i suggest just using hashtables.

I can store integers,

set table[GetHandleId(GetTriggerUnit())] = spell

This works for me (spell is struct instance, struct instances are referred to with integers)

 

[Diehard@Azeroth]

yea i know, thanks for saying, but still this isnt a 2D Array like in Vexorian's, im not planning to store integers, but integer is the index of the type of data, which is unlimited due to the fact that it is a hashtable, so its Hashtable [Trackable] [ Index] = Data but i dont know how to do it, tho im pretty sure its possible using vex's table. Since its also possible in normal Hashtables. BTW: only reason im not using hashtables now is because i cant find the functions in JNGP, or atleast natives >_>

 

[xD.Schurke]

2d tables are a bit more hm complex^^something like this:
set Table["lol my String have to be a string^^"][someInteger] = value (have to be an integer)

 

[Diehard@Azeroth]

hehe il try xP Does the string have to be a string?!? >_> i know you wrote that in array but, not quite sure XP and so basically no handle attaching in 2d arrays? im thinking H2S, but... eh! hmm do you think this works?:

function H2S takes handle h returns string
    return h
    return ""
endfunction
function S2H takes string s returns handle
    return h
endfunction

 

[xD.Schurke]

nor it wont work you could do something like this^^
string s = I2S(GetHandleId(handle))

 

[Diehard@Azeroth]

hehe thanks, now im just using gamecache lmfao >_>

anyways they never outlined that function in JNGP, the GetHandleId, i assume its parameters are only handle?

thanks alot for help bro ^^

maybe il use table cus vexorian says its faster, but its only for Init >_<

yea im just going to use Arrays since its more suited to what im going to do... lol ty for help >_<

 

[xD.Schurke]

table is just as fast as hashtable

 

[Diehard@Azeroth]

o no i meant Tables are faster than Gamecaches (atleast in theory, by Vexorian not me )

 

[xD.Schurke]

yep they are faster because table uses hashtable

 

[Vulcano]

the only reason i use table is because it's shorter to write than hashtable

Since when can you use an array index with numbers over 1000000?

 

[xD.Schurke]

since when is table an array?

 

[Reaper2008]

I think it used to be before hashtables were made.

 

[xD.Schurke]

nope before it used gamechache

 

[Void]

if you want to save a value for a integer use Table
if you want to save a value for a string use StringTable
if you want to save a value for a handle use HandleTable

(if testtable is a HandleTable you can just use set testtable[GetTriggerUnit()] = spell instead of set table[GetHandleId(GetTriggerUnit())] = spell)

and btw its just a wrapper for hashtables and before that it was just a wrapper for gamechache - but it has its purposes as its more user friendly and avoids the creation of billions of hashtables
