Item ID test

For example we have this.


How would we go about detecting that item ID without doing

Add the ID abcd as a member of an array, then loop through the array checking things?

I added it as a struct member as

integer ItemID.

Why loop through the array? I don't get it.

what?

--
please, explain exactly what you want to do.

I am trying to make a item bonus system, I set up the bonuses correctly but I do not know how to detect what ItemID the unit has in the inventory slot. As there is many items, I do not want to go through the usual

if .... then
if then....

To wrap it up, I want to check how do you find the ItemId and add the correct bonuses of the item correctly set up in my init function.

1. Are you familiar with loops?

2. In this case, this is the sort of thing gamecache is excellent at, could try Table

I was going to suggest a struct, but wasn't sure if you knew vJass.

Looping through an array seems pretty self explanatory. You have a loop that performs said action upon array[loopcount].

Just use a struct, with the bonuses as members, no?

EDIT: Double Vex Poast.

Yes, I am familar with loops.

So, I set all the itemtype ids to a integer array and then I loop till I find the itemId I want? Is that how?

Yes I know vJASS.

First, I hate using languages that have types. It's a huge pain in the arse.

Second, listen to Vex. Table/GC.

I can't think of any language that doesn't have types.

Python.

I don't have to worry 'bout them.

Types might have been the wrong word. I don't speak the lingo.

Python definitely has types. Python's lack of explicit declarations makes it quite unusable for large projects, waiting 30 minutes of program execution to find out you didn't type a variable name correctly can really delay your progress.

Could you take a look at my Item Bonus, you guys are going seriously off topic now.
