Questions about CSSafeCache.

1) Do you need to clear data from gamecache with CSSafeCache?

2) If so, how? I know there is the CleanAttachedVars but doesn't that clean EVERYTHING associated with the handle (even if it wasn't related to the data you wanted to clear)? Or does CleanAttachedVars have a different purpose

3) How exactly do you use CS Pairs? Would someone be able to post a small example of what they are used for, and how to use them?

Vexorian	There is no reason to use cspairs, the following code replaces all of cspairs' functionality : JASS: struct cspair[16000] integer x integer y endstruct AttachInt / SetTableInt will flush the value automatically when you use a 0. It is better to do CleanAttachedVars when the handle dies though.

Uhh, there is no CSSafeCache... Maybe you meant CSSafety? In that case you still have to clean the variables. CleanAttacedVars clears all the variables attached to a handle, but you can clean a single variable with attaching a null value of the attached variable. Example:

JASS:

AttachInt(t, "i", 1)
// ...
AttachInt(t, "i", 0)

JASS:

AttachHandle(t, "u", CreateUnit(...))
// ...
AttachHandle(t, "u", null)

etc.

CSSafety is used only for avoiding timer bugs (also, you don't have to null them).

Or maybe you meant SetCSData/GetCSData?

There is.

So, I just have to do call AttachInt (myHandle, myKey, 0) when I'm finished with it? What about reals (I'm guessing 0 or 0.),strings (I'm guessing "") and booleans (haven't a clue)

Take a look at the Caster System, it's there :)

JASS:

AttachHandle(t, "u", CreateUnit(...))
// ...
AttachHandle(t, "u", null)

Isn't that potentially dangerous since you would have to do I2H to retrieve the unit?

EDIT: Just took a look at the code for booleans

JASS:

    function AttachBoolean takes handle h, string label, boolean x returns nothing
        if not x then
            call FlushStoredBoolean(cs_cache,I2S(CS_H2I(h)),label)
        else
            call StoreBoolean(cs_cache,I2S(CS_H2I(h)),label,x)
        endif
    endfunction

That confuses me. To flush it, I use the opposite value to what was stored i.e. store using true, flush using false?

Vexorian	You shouldn't use AttachHandle. To flush reals always use 0.0, to use booleans always use false. I think null or "" should work to flush strings.

I searched in CSCache, but then it's obviously not there (maybe the search feature is broken). I don't want to bother you, but where/what exactly is it?

the-thingy	CS v15.2 has it (not sure about any previous versions of CS though)
