I'm quite new to hashtable, I tried to learn the tuts, but understood it only partially and caused my "brain to bleed a bit". I'm not a very fast learner.

I've been stuck on JNGP all these years and just dled 1.5e version and discovered new triggers called hashtables. I discovered that they are 3 dimensional, not just 2 like variable with arrays. Or 2 dimension integer arrays setup instead of just 1.

So someone who are used to these, can you help me out and see if I did it correctly. I'm not intending to test it before I change everything, I want some input first.


I'm trying to create a Hashtable damage data which stores almost everything of the damage missiles do. I'm want to use this to replace the old GUI triggers which for every time if triggers sets a value, I want the values to be set from start. I didn't find unit-type in the hashtable :/


This might not be the best way of setup in GUI, but heres what I've done so far.

      • -------- 0 Represent shield damage (in relative %) - REAL --------
      • -------- 1 Represent hull damage (in %) - REAL --------
      • -------- 2 Represent core damage over time - INT --------

yes it does, but you should use the unitype for the integer instead of 0, 1 etc..(this will eliminate your loop)
example
  • Hashtable - Save 15.00 as 0 of MissileUnitType[0] in HashDamageData
and then when you load it use Load 0 of GetUnitTypeId(Missile) etc..

Click to expand...

Well if the map I was working on was using the regular editor, I could do that but unfortunately it don't. I can't do that. I also get 8 errors when loading map.

Code: 
Trigger Database Error
[Trigger Actions] - SaveWidgetHandleBJ
[Trigger Actions] - SaveAbilityHandleBJ
[Trigger Actions] - SaveTriggerEventHandleBJ
[Trigger Actions] - SaveRegionHandleBJ
[Trigger Actions] - SaveUnitPoolHandleBJ
[Trigger Actions] - SaveItemPoolHAndleBJ
[Trigger Actions] - SaveMultiboardItemHandleBJ
[Trigger Actions] - SaveTrackableHandleBJ
Data section and text section have differing number of parameters (3,4).

I can pick between WEU and UMSWE, If I don't pick one of them them map becomes not editable due to 1500 compile errors when resaving and total trigger failure nothing works ingame. A dirty trick Callex managed to made which I don't know how I can fix it.


EDIT: Forget it. I'm porting it out of UMSWE to check if I'm able to do as you said. I need a day or 2 maybe. Killing all adv. shit triggers.
