[JASS] Recursive data structure and max struct number

[MoltoxBrutox]

Hello,

I am trying to implement a quad tree data structure in JASS, but am facing the problem that there is a max amount of struct instances for a map (like a bit more than 8000 if I remember well and if it has not evolved).

I was thinking about using nested hashtables instead of using user-defined structs. Does this make sense in your opinion ? Thanks if you take time to reply

I'd say use a table instead of structs. I dont understand why you would want to use multiple tables though. That would be very inefficient.

Just out of curiosity: why do you want to code a quad tree? I mean: for what purpose?
Faster unit look-ups? Keep in mind that unit enumeration already uses binary trees internally, so it might not even be faster to implement it manually.

Sorry for the late answear, it was to try to help with the "ressources yet to be coded", to find the closest terrain of a given type, but I'm not convinced by this strategy anymore
