[Solved] Variable Group?

[RobertMKD]

What is the best way to make a variable group (e.g. a group of strings), that you can use just like unit groups (you pick every string in the group and do actions)..
Example I don't wanna use: Make a unit with Aloc and no model for every string (word I want to use for the string) with a name equal to the word and then create a unit group and use (Name of (Picked Unit)).

use an string array and an index counter.
Example:
set string[1] = "whatever"
set string[2] = "kaboom"
set string[3] = "blaze it"
set count = 3

Then just loop through them.
loop from 1 to count
do something with string[integer A/B]

Now when I read this post of yours, I realize how stupid my idea above is.. xD

Doubly linked list with array backing. Will work up to 8192 strings spread across up to 8192 string groups. Hashtable backing will allow practically infinite but with degrading performance. Arrays can be chained with O(log2(n)) scaling for access or update performance to allow for larger if needed.

If you need to remove the string from the group, you need to properly deindex.

But if order matters, linked list is the way to go.

Yeah, and it then makes it O(n) to pick a random string
