[Snippet] [Needs opinion] MiscTable

Because i wanna save damagetypes and attacktypes.
JASS:
library MiscTable /* v 1.1
*************************************************************************************
*
*    Miscellaneous Table is a table for child handles that can't be Saved/
*    Loaded through hashtables. Miscellaneous Table will allow users
*    to save these kinds of handles to hashtables.
*
*    Basically,the system is an integer table.
*

Huh, i'm missiing something or Convert functions are missing ?
Also, you don't really need to typecast just "hash" the handle id to a struct instance and with this struct instance you set an handle (whatever type you need) member.

Typecasting should be significantly faster than using a struct shim, although I won't test it myself since I'll never use this =/
 
It doesn't even compile -_-

If you haven't even tested it, this doesn't have an actual purpose. The integers that are used by those states are aways less than an array size, just an FYI.

No, I don't see a use for this. And because you haven't even tested it, it looks like you don't have a use for it either, other than "because it's cool".

This resource can serve a nice spot in the graveyard, right next to Handle.
