Get Data from .slk

How to get data from an (imported) .slk-file via vJASS?

You don't. Poot and Bobo were working on some sort of tool to do this for people at one point, however.

OHHH....

this is stupit....

my problem is that I need to get ~50 values (change with unit's unitid) in one struct with one call, so i thaught of sving all of them into a .slk (one line per unitid).
Probably via .txt or ....

ahh...eventually someone has an idea how to get my values into my struct (WITH ONE FUNCTIONCALL)

Of course you can, I am not sure what the heck Dusk is talking about but it is probably about something else.

Take a look to the slk demo in jasshelper's 7z.

thx, vex it seems to work, but how to refer to an imported .slk?

The real question is "why refer to an imported slk"?

I try to make an extension for blizz unit thing and its not comfortable for the user to call 50+x functions to set unittypes data, so i store them into a .slk-file and refer to them.

yes, but you don't need to use an imported file when calling jasshelper's slk thing.

I know, but I don't want the user to have to care about the .slk-file and therefore I import it.

It's not about what I need, it's about beeing user-friendly

Is that only for imported slk's? I remember having a chat with Poot and Bobo about how there was no way to grab the data out of the map-generated slk's without the use of some tool they were developing.

My bad for misleading, I guess. Oo

I know the jasshelper thingy works for external .slk's, my problem is to get it working for imported ones.

can you please send me a link to their tool-thingy?

If it were finished/released, I would. They're lazy asses.

Actually, the tool converted the w3u data you wanted into slk JassHelper format which could then be loaded as a struct (yet another example of us being lazy asses).

Also, bobo was supposed to integrate it with JNGP (although last I heard he had it fully working) but I guess he must have never given it to you. You'll have to ask him because he's across the province right now, so I can't really do so.

Oh, I see, so that is what it does.

If you're trying to write a spell or system or something for reuse by other mappers, chances are the spell/system will be added to an existing mapfile and not based on your map. In that case, the "user" will need to import/copy/relocate/whatever an external *.slk file anyway. I don't see why you're going to all this trouble.
