[Trigger] Using more than one unit indexer in one map?

[Sunchips]

Is it possible to use more than one unit indexer in the same map or will it mess something up? I have 2 systems which both need different unit indexers in my map.

 

[ap0calypse]

You certainly don't need 2 unit indexers in your map. They nearly always use the same method (changing the custom value of units), so you can safely remove one of them without any negative consequences.

 

[Almia]

Only one will work
and that one is much slower than the other one

what? Guess ur refering to one indexer using hashtables instead of custom values?

You certainly don't need 2 unit indexers in your map. They nearly always use the same method (changing the custom value of units), so you can safely remove one of them without any negative consequences.

no that only works if the indexers use the exactly same names for the methods.


@Sunchips - you can use one of the two indexers and replace the other one with a wrapper so the systems dont have to be altered.

Example:
1. library Indexer1
2. library SomeLibrary requires Indexer1
3. library Indexer2
4. library SomeOtherLibrary requires Indexer2
-> you import 1, 2, 4 and replace 3 by a wrapper:
3. library Indexer2 requires Indexer1

Link us the two indexer systems and we can help you building the wrapper.

    • Set UnitIndexEvent = 0.00

I belive it should be possible if the two indexers use diffrent methods. but if both of them use for example custom value of unit it will only use one

but it is the same indexer

Write an adapter to fool the other system into thinking it is using the indexer it is meant to yet it is sharing a different indexer with other systems.

Take it easy, muzzel. I've read the thread and understand your point perfectly, but just ignore it.

The reason you can't give negative rep is this:

Why cant i give ppl -rep? They deserve it!

I hope you understand that.
