struct and typeid

MaD[Lion]	JASS: function doAB takes A x returns nothing if (x.getTypeId()==B.typeid) then set B(x).Real=45.5 endif endfunction here we get the types by knowing which struct was declared. But is there a way to automatically get these structs? example typecasting them using "x.getTypeId()" only: JASS: function doAB takes A x returns nothing set typecast(x.getTypeId).Real=45.5 endfunction

Vexorian	You could just use B directly in the function since it looks like you are making it specifically for it.

MaD[Lion]	no... im not. cus B was just an example struct. B is an example struct of structs declared by users. So it can be B,C,D,K,HJJ,SD or watever.

Vexorian	the question here would be, how is the compiler supposed to know?

well for each struct tat extends another u can store a typeid for the compiler to recognise which struct it is. Im not really sure how u did the extends. But when u can compare x.getTypeId and B.typeid. and u can even use interface to create a struct using a typeid. How can the interface know which struct to create? cant it be done the same way here?

hmm... jass is so gay. making things so hard :P

Vexorian	Are you sure what you want to do isn't doable with initial values? Also, interfaces work in game time, not compile time.

MaD[Lion]	yes i am sure :P so now i need to think of another way tat makes it easy for the user and at same time work at initial
