[General] Retrieve Unit Type ID from a List Linked to an Integer

[Elprede]

8 integers in all that represent 8 gateways
Each integer has its own list of 9 unit type ids.

How do I retrieve one of those 9 unit type ids from a specific integer in the most clear-cut way possible?

JASS:

globals
    integer array UnitIdsForYou[8][9]
    integer Gateway1 = 0
    integer Gateway2 = 2
    //etc.
    integer Gateway8 = 7
endglobals

set UnitIDsForYou[Gateway1][0] = 'hfoo'
set UnitIDsForYou[Gateway1][1] = 'hpea'
//etc.
set UnitIDsForYou[Gateway8][8] = 'u052'

GUI:

• Events
  • Map initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set MaxGateways = 8
  • Set MaxUIDs = 9
  • -------- --------
  • Set GateWayNum = 0
  • Set UIDNum = 0
  • Set Index = GateWayNum*MaxGateways + UIDNum
  • Set UnitIDsForYou[Index] = Footman
  • -------- --------
  • Set GateWayNum = 0
  • Set UIDNum = 1
  • Set Index = GateWayNum*MaxGateways + UIDNum
  • Set UnitIDsForYou[Index] = Peasant
  • -------- --------
  • Set GateWayNum = 7
  • Set UIDNum = 8
  • Set Index = GateWayNum*MaxGateways + UIDNum
  • Set UnitIDsForYou[Index] = MegaSuperAwesomezard

Or you could use a Hashtable if you're not chill with vJASS or don't want to simulate 2-d arrays in GUI.

globals
    integer array UnitIdsForYou[8][9] // 8 * 9 = 72
    integer Gateway1 = 0
    integer Gateway2 = 1
    //etc.
    integer Gateway8 = 7
endglobals

// UnitIdsForYou[8][9] // 8 * 9 = 72 // 0 .. 71
set MaxGateways = 8 // 0 .. 7
set MaxUIDs = 9 // 0 .. 8

set GatewayNum = 7 // Gateway8
set UIDNum = 8

set Index = GatewayNum*MaxGateways + UIDNum*MaxUIDs
set Index = 7*8 + 8*9 // 128 o.O?

I.e your formula is incorrect, should be:

set Index = GatewayNum*MaxUIDs + UIDNum
set Index = 7 * 9 + 8 // 71

right, thanks
