be wise! use this library from now :v

demo code is important here, you must read it bcs this is not a so easy to use system.
JASS:
library Vote /* v1.4 by Dalvengyr

    This library provides a voting system which you may determine the action
    when the voting is closed and whether its succeed or not. Success in this
    library means when a votings point reach the required vote. You are able
    to start as many as votings as you want at once. The next voting will be
    started right after the previous one has ended. See demo code to understand
    more how to use this.

    [url]www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/submissions-414/snippet-vote-251241-new/[/url]
    
    
    API
    
    1. Start a new voting
    function StartVote takes integer requiredVote, real voteUptime, code func returns Vote
    
    2. End a voting
    function EndVote takes Vote whichVote returns nothing
    
    3. Add point(s) to a voting, when points >= required votes then the voting will be marked as succeed
       This also returns the current vote points of that voting
    function AddVotePoint takes Vote whichVote, integer amount returns integer
    
    4. You may start multiple votings at once so this function returns the votings index on that period
    function GetVoteIndex takes Vote whichVote returns integer
    
    5. Set a new voting requirement
    function SetVoteRequirement takes Vote whichVote, integer amount returns nothing
    
    
    Event Responses
    
    1. Return the current opened voting
    function GetTriggeringVote takes nothing returns Vote
    
    2. Return true when points >= required votes
    function IsVoteSuccess takes nothing returns boolean
    
    
    Methods
    
    1. Set a new voting up
    static method setup takes integer requiredVote, real voteUptime, code func returns thistype
    
    2. Add point(s) to a voting
       This also returns the current vote points of that voting
    method add takes integer amount returns integer
    
    3. End a voting
    method end takes nothing returns nothing
    
    4. Set a new voting requirement
    method require takes integer amount returns nothing

       Dont worry, mostly you will just need to declare one voting at once.
       How? it is much more simple. First, show a message to players, as
       example: "Dalvengyr is cool? Type '-yes' if you agree"
       and do the exact same things like the example above (how to add points,
       how to declare and stop a voting)

       multiple times which you must configure it by yourself :p Good luck

okay, I admit! struct is beautiful :v

there is a minor update but I wont change the version since it was just some fixes at documentations

EDIT:
someone please rename this thread to "[Snippet] Vote" :V

EDIT 2:
or "[System] Vote" ? whatever

EDIT 3:
wait a minute, the system hasn't worked correctly, I need to somehow write my own destroy() method which I don't know how :v

EDIT 4:
updated. Now it works correctly, time to optimize it :3

about example, no worry, I will upload a vote system at spell section which will show you how to use this library at so maaaaany cases, basicaly you can use this to vote for everything, and with particular trick you can even give multiple options for your voting.

updated to v1.4
it works correctly actually, but if nobody find it useful so please just gy.. :3 because it's quite hard to use this..
