Well, at present my idea is just generating a load of strings at start up (which could then also be done at loading of the game). That ought to work.
That's a stupid method, however. Using a few globals would be much better, something like this:
JASS:
function handleI2S takes integer i returns string
set i = i - 1048576
if i <= 8150 then
return udg_I2Sa[i]
elseif i <= 16300 then
return udg_I2Sb[i-8150]
elseif i <= 24450 then
return udg_I2Sb[i-16300]
else
return I2S(i)
endif
endfunction
Should be massively faster, and completely safe (just setup the globals at start up).
