Set value to variable array - speed question

[shadowvzs]

worth to bother about set 250 integer variable when a function called? (like call myfunction() and in my function have pista[0-250]=xyz)?

the function isnt called periodically or too often

 

[TriggerHappy]

Custom script: call PopulateArray()

function PopulateArray takes nothing returns nothing
    local integer i = 0
    loop
        exitwhen i >= 250
        set udg_pista[i] = i
        set i = i + 1
    endloop
endfunction

i know to how to do it just was curios if need to bother about speed if i do that kind of fuinction, because i remeber something like storing to variable is fast thing thing but i dont remember this to sure and want use more times that function (what look like ur Populate array but without global variable because then easier to implent)

While it is fast, it isn't something I recommend having in a fast periodic timer. Any reason you can't store the data statically? Anyways, if you can't pre-calculate it once, then there is really no better way.

i try avoid the global gui variables and no global jass variable in normal WE and i want use normal we

its is for save load thinggy where i must check if i find then itemid in local integer array or unittypeid type in local integer array

 

[Zeatherann]

Oh, I would create a global for that. Why do you avoid globals?

 

[shadowvzs]

i made only for a map what i want to be able easiet to copy to another map, so just need copy only the 2 trigger and header, got 0 global variable/0 new ability/0 new item etc

You can set the options so that the required globals will be copied automatically with triggers. So globals don't make implementing it more difficult.

In world editor: file>preferences>automatically create unknown variables while pasting trigger data

I think he knows that but doesn't want to have a Variable Creator trigger.

yes, got 2 trigger where both converted to jass, dont want do +1 only for gui. i want the most easiest importing

ty all the answers

If the array elements are constant then it should be assigned to a global array and generated once before use (either at map initialization or just as it is needed first time).

If the array elements are dynamic then I guess there is no avoiding it 250 array elements alone should not cause a frame drop if done occasionally however if very often then it is possible.
