Struct saving in gamecache?

[Catch_ya]

So I'm creating a single player campaign which consist of 5 maps (Diablo II Recreation) the thing is, I'm wondering if you:

struct mystruct
real r
static method create takes real r returns mystruct
local mystruct = mystruct.allocate()
set .r = r
endmethod
endstruct

then if I call:

local mystruct m = mystruct.create(3.)
call StoreInteger(gamecache, "1", "2", Struct)

will it then transfer the real (3.) to the map that I'm loading the gamecache in? so I can get the struct via

GetStoredInteger(gamecache, "1", "2", m)

?

Logically no, you do not understand how structs work.

Structs are nothing more than a parallel arrays. The struct reference is an integer to the array index. Thus storing the index will not store the data at that index in the array. Furthermore, structs need not be regenerated at the same index. Thus storing the index is pointless.

I was kinda sure it couldn't, just wanted to be sure. Thanks.

Please state what it is you need to be done and maybe there exists and alternative solution.

Well, I just wanted to store the struct in a gamecache and transfer it from map to map. But I'll just store each member manualy then.

It may be possible to just put the whole thing in one map and avoid the game-cache burden altogether. Just make a really, really big map and divide it appropriately.

Thanks for the advice, but I kinda need alot of space.
