aahhh 
euphoria,relief,trip,hallucination,... maybe you want to use nalorphine,levallorphan,naloxone,.... etc we need you here Nes XD
@Bribe, you forget to show a way to cut my script by a loop...
maybe you want to approve it???

Basically it involves instead of rows and rows of unittype, itemtype, etc. you just set some of those types to an arrow. Yes after reading nes' post though you can't do the whole thing in a loop.

then you are working on it at the moment? i remember someone said something like that before but we rejected it because we concluded that it will sacrifice a lot of performance.
but i trust you. go on and let us see what comes out i'm counting on you Bribe xD
and by 'arrow' i think you meant 'array', yeah? than you.

Yes I meant "array", sorry. I was going to code it until Nestharus mentioned that they are not all the same natives

oh. yes that makes it very hard to code something that uses a loop and doesn't sacrifice performance.....
ok, what is left for me to do in order to see this system getting approved?

very useful, but I have some
I think you don't need to do those checks when
and I don't get why you use hexadecimal instead of normal integer (decimal)
and how about this concept:
so
I'm sorry if I do some mistakes because I have fking tootache while reading the code
EDIT:
and how about using loop to shorten the code?
I think you don't need to do those checks when
filter == 0, but the problem is only stupidities that would input 0 integer. But since you write /* + if UnitFilter(Target,null,0) then in the description, and we must consider any possibilities, so it's not stupid to fix that little thingand I don't get why you use hexadecimal instead of normal integer (decimal)
and how about this concept:
JASS:
constant integer ALIVE = 1
constant integer NON_ALIVE = -1input will be 0, then if you fix minor thing I have mentoined above we don't need to uselessly do those checks anymoreI'm sorry if I do some mistakes because I have fking tootache while reading the code

This system is brilliant! Great idea indeed.
I just don't use filters enough to really justify the use of it. In most cases, I do FoG loops anyway which don't need a filter (Well, actually, the enumeration process can filter, but I can do it without trouble in the loop itself, which should also be faster).

When you define some filters via giving a specific hex number, this system returns you a group/unit which has the units not fitting in those filters removed/rejected, so obviously when no filter is given ( filter = 0 ), all units will pass. if i didn't make the system this way, users had to define an special filter that when given, it made all units pass the filtering, but it is ok now. and by the way, users are not supposed to define negative hex as filters.... this WILL cause conflicts :/
no you don't made any mistakes, you gave some opinions and they were good. ty
about using loop; i, Nestharus and Bribe tried to make it that way, but it is nearly impossible or if its possible, it is not efficient or even worth it, the filters don't use same natives.
i'm currently very busy in university, maybe when the pressure dropped off a bit, i will consider what you said and update it if your sayings were useful in making easier API.
Thank you.

Thats very common for flags. Why? Because it makes your life easier. With decimal values you would have to calculate the next power of two when adding a new flag:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, etc.
With hex numbers you have:
1, 2, 4, 8, 10, 20, 40, 80, 100, 200, etc.
You see? With hex numbers you just count 1, 2, 4, 8 then you just attach a zero to the number and start again from 1.
Less thinking, less errors, better readability.

in fact, this gives them a huge range of modifications and configurations, but simply i didn't said that in API i will add it

I don't think so, it just make filtration become more elegant, simple, and easier.. For the coder, not for the GUI ers
except they are not too lazy to learn how to use this library correctly, and maybeis not a really good decision, since most jass coder just understand how to use it because it's easy. and almost all user (GUIers) wont open the requirements (in this case, is your library)but simply i didn't said that in API
Idk know is that my statement about usability of this library is good or not, since it's very easy to learn and use this library (yes, perhaps this will become a breakthrough, that would be recommended in almost spell in thw
)Edit:
I'm sorry, I will take back all my words about the useability, I think it's just so much easier learning your filtration method than normal Jass method
and the pproblem is always on GUIers themselves, just want to mention the fact,, Almost all GUIers is very lazy just to read one function or more, or even learn it..

The code doesn't compile. Here is the fixed one:
Please update it.
EDIT:
Just use this native function to check unit alive (but first you need to declare it somewhere):
=>
Thought I don't understand why it should return false if filter unit is a dummy? Since IIRC units with locust couldn't be enumerated.
EDIT:
I have tried to implement this in one of my spell and it works fluently. And it allows me to pick targets dynamically. This is very impressive Great job!

*
* - Functions
* - How to use Filters
* - How to use Filtering System
* - Settings
* - Full Example
* - Side Functions
* - Constants (filters)
*
************************************************************************************************************************
* Functions:
*
* - function UnitFilter takes unit whichUnit, player whichPlayer, integer filter returns boolean
*
* + It will check if 'whichUnit' meets given conditions or not.
* + 'whichPlayer' is only required when Alliance and Visibility filters
* are applied and must be passed 'null' when not using Alliance and
* Visibility filters.
* + 'filter' is an integer explained in section "How to use Filters".
*
* - function ItemFilter takes item whichItem, integer filter returns boolean
*
* + It checks if 'whichItem' passes given filters or not.
* + 'filter' is an integer explained in section "How to use Filters".
*
* - function PlayerFilter takes player whichPlayer, player otherPlayer, integer filter returns boolean
*
* + It checks whether 'whichPlayer' meets given filters or not.
* + 'otherPlayer' is the other player used to check two-player related
* filters: Shared Units, Shared Vision, Alliance.
* if not using the above filters, you can pass 'null' as 'otherPlayer'.
* + 'filter' is an integer explained in section "How to use Filters".
*
************************************************************************************************************************
* How to use Filters:
*
* - 'filter' is an hexadecimal integer which is made like this:
* Filter1 + Filter2 + Filter3 + ...
* + You don't have to do any mathematics, only type your
* desired filters' names like above.
*
* - Filters in Filtring System are in 3 groups: Unit, Item, Player.
* + Use each group only with its related filtering function.
*
* - Filter rules are as below:
* <Filter1 and Filter2 are opposites like Dead and Alive>
* + Filter1: Units matching it will pass.
* + Filter1 + Filter 2: NO UNIT WILL PASS.
* + nothing: All units will pass.
* + If you didn't get what above means take a look to section
* "Full Example"
*
************************************************************************************************************************
* How to use Filtering System:
*
* - vJass and Jass:
* + A simple line:
* if [Unit/Player/Item]Filter(argument1,argument2[if exists],'filter') then
* //Scripts
* endif
*
* - GUI:
* + A Custom Script (New Action -> General -> Custom Script) line:
* Custom Script : if [Unit/Player/Item]Filter(argument1,argument2[if exists],'filter') then
* //Scripts
* Custom Script : endif
*
************************************************************************************************************************
* Settings:
*
* - Ward and Dummy classificators:
*
* */globals/*
*
* CONFIGURABLE PART
*
* */
constant integer ABILITY_WARD_CLASSIFIER = 'Alit'/*
* This system checks for a spell to realize the fact that a unit is
* a ward or not, because perhaps you add a ward classification to a unit
* to remove its spell icons, but that unit is not really a ward, so instead
* of checking for classification we use a spell to define ward classification;
* change it to your desired spell or leave it as it is.
*
* */
constant integer ABILITY_DUMMY_CLASSIFIER = 'Aloc'/*
* This system checks for a spell to realize the fact that a unit is
* a dummy or not, change this to your desired spell or leave it as it is, note
* that this system doesn't do anything about dummies, in fact when it finds this
* spell in a unit, it completely ignores that unit and that unit will not pass
* the filtering, so if you want a specific unit to not pass this filtering, add
* this spell to it.
*
* END OF CONFIGURABLE PART
*
************************************************************************************************************************
* Full Example:
*
* - Alive, enemy ranged heroes:
* + if UnitFilter(Target,Caster,FS_UNIT_ALIVE + FS_UNIT_ENEMY + FS_UNIT_HERO + FS_UNIT_RANGED) then
* + NOTE : ORDER OF FILTERS IS NOT IMPORTANT.
*
* - Non-Summoned undead units:
* + if UnitFilter(Target,null,FS_UNIT_UNDEAD + FS_UNIT_NON_SUMMONED) then
*
* - All units:
* + if UnitFilter(Target,null,0) then
* + Pay attention to zero (0).
*
* - No unit:
* + if UnitFilter(Target,null,FS_UNIT_ALIVE + FS_UNIT_DEAD) then
* + 'FS_UNIT_HERO + FS_UNIT_NON_HERO','FS_UNIT_ALLY + FS_UNIT_ENEMY' and
* other opposites can be placed as 'FS_UNIT_ALIVE + FS_UNIT_DEAD'.
*
* - Ally computer players with shared vision:
* + if PlayerFilter(Player1,Player2,FS_PLAYER_ALLY + FS_PLAYER_COMPUTER + FS_PLAYER_VISION) then
*
* - Sellable, Campaign class items which are not owned:
* + if ItemFilter(Item,FS_ITEM_SELLABLE + FS_ITEM_CAMPAIGN + FS_ITEM_NON_OWNED) then
*
************************************************************************************************************************
* Side Functions:
*
* Because of the unique algorithm of this system, there are unpredicted functions
* that this system can have, one of them is known and others may be found later.
*
* - Mixing the filters into single filter (Constraints):
* (found by Magtheridon96)
*
* This is the method of mixing some filters and converting them into a
* single filter to use that single filter instead of using many filters
* more and more again. An example should show you the way:
*
* integer USUAL = FS_UNIT_ALIVE + FS_UNIT_ENEMY + FS_UNIT_ORGANIC
*
* this way, you will type in 'USUAL' everytime your filter contain these
* three filters instead of typing all three of them.
*
* + Be sure that no filter is repeated two times in a single
* constraint.
* + If sum of some constraints contain repeated filters, be sure
* to substract that filter until there is only one filter of that
* type left, an example is needed:
*
* USUAL = FS_UNIT_ALIVE + FS_UNIT_ENEMY + FS_UNIT_ORGANIC
* HERO_2 = FS_UNIT_ALIVE + FS_UNIT_ENEMY + FS_UNIT_IMMUNE
* UNDEAD_9 = FS_UNIT_ALIVE + FS_UNIT_UNDEAD
* USUAL_HERO = USUAL + FS_UNIT_HERO
*
* If you want to use USUAL + HERO_2 + UNDEAD_9, be sure to
* use it this way (FS_UNIT_ALIVE is repeated 3 times,
* FS_UNIT_ENEMY is repeated 2 times):
* USUAL + HERO_2 + UNDEAD_9 - 2*FS_UNIT_ALIVE - FS_UNIT_ENEMY
*
* To use this method, you have to define your own constraints using
* this way:
*
* globals
* constant integer CONSTRAINT_NAME = COND1 + COND2 + ...
* endglobals
*
* If you are GUI, you have to put these three lines in three adjacent
* Custom Script lines.

I have tried to implement this in one of my spell and it works fluently. And it allows me to pick targets dynamically. This is very impressive
Great job!

oh, thank you so much, updated it.
well it says you can change the dummy ability to anything else so other spells than locust will be enumerated so that check should exist.

Is this faster than?
JASS:
private function filter takes nothing returns boolean
return IsUnitType(GetFilterUnit(), UNIT_TYPE_HERO)
endfunction
private function doSomething takes nothing returns nothing
call GroupEnumUnitsInRange(g, 0, 0, 300., function filter)
set fog = FirstOfGroup(g)
while (fog != null)
call UnitDamageTarget(cast, fog, dmg, false, false, null, null, null)
..

Ofc not.
Why do you use nxnnnnn stuff?
Do they use less memory, are they faster to cpu to handle or what?
Is there a tutorial on hive about hexadecimal? :/
The algorithm is very nicely thought out, I would've never thought of something like this

Let's say I need a custom filter that is not included in the filter constants. Can I just replace one of the existing constants I don't need with my custom filter (renaming the constant, but keeping the memory field as it is)?

no, you have to change the if-statement associated with the constant
JASS:
if filter > 0x10 then
set filter = filter - 0x10
if GetPlayerSlotState(whichPlayer)!=PLAYER_SLOT_STATE_PLAYING then
return false
endif
endifNotice the PLAYER_SLOT_STATE_PLAYING bit? That's the PLAYER_STATE_PLAYING or whatever constant.

Yeah, ofc I would change the condition to the custom condition I need. I just wanted to make sure that it is save to replace those constants and conditions by others (means that I just can use any condition I want on the 0x10 memory for example).

Could have been much better with bit-masking, nay?

Huh? It does use bit masking...
If it didn't use bit masking, then you couldn't use it like this

Would it be possible to have FS_UNIT_VULNERABLE and something like FS_UNIT_NONETHEREAL? I'm trying to create bouncing missiles and I would like to filter out invulnerable and non-ethereal targets from being picked.

It's usefull for filtering units, I'm going to use it.
However I found mistake in UnitFilter function
also I always checked for ground unit by
I'm not sure about ward classification.
Should I add ABILITY_WARD_CLASSIFIER to all ward-type units to allow check for this ability by Filtering System?
However I found mistake in UnitFilter function
JASS:
if filter > 0x400000 then // ranged
//set filter = filter - 0x40000 // should be 400000
set filter = filter - 0x400000
if not IsUnitType(whichUnit, UNIT_TYPE_RANGED_ATTACKER) thennot IsUnitType(whichUnit, UNIT_TYPE_FLYING). By checking UNIT_TYPE_GROUND it won't pass units with movement of type hover/amphibious if I remember corectly. So let me sugest this for detecting ground unit:
JASS:
if filter > 0x80000 then
set filter = filter - 0x80000 //ground
//if not IsUnitType(whichUnit, UNIT_TYPE_GROUND) then
if IsUnitType(whichUnit, UNIT_TYPE_FLYING) then
return false
endif
endifI'm not sure about ward classification.

oh thanks, fixed it.
what you said about the ground units' check is correct, but i decided to leave it as is, to strictly pass Ground movement-type. If someone needs to include floating and hovering units they can easily change the corresponding part in the function, one of major points of this system was and is configurability.
You should only add ward classifier ability to actual wards, e.g. observer wards; as i have mentioned in the description section of the ward classifier, assigning ward classification to units can be done with different intentions in mind but the unit could be not an actual ward; so u can elect to detect actual wards with the ward classifier ability instead.
