A simple way to set/get "custom values" for a widget

04-14-2007, 05:55 PM

It's a simple function for units,destructables and items.

JASS:

function W2I takes widget W returns integer
return W
return 0
endfunction

function I2W takes integer I returns widget
return I
return null
endfunction

function SetWidgetValueX takes gamecache G, widget W, integer X, integer value returns nothing
call StoreInteger(G,I2S(X),I2S(W2I(W)),value)
endfunction

function GetWidgetValueX takes gamecache G, widget W, integer X returns integer
return GetStoredInteger(G,I2S(X),I2S(W2I(W)))
endfunction

sorry if it's not the rigth forum but i cant consider it like a system, isnt it ? xD

goddamn you're outdated :). And besides, these functions do like... nothing at all. It's like DestroyEffectBJ

And wrong too, since now you cant use FlushStoredMission on the handle (erm, widget, why widget? handle would do the job perfectly and it would work on all handles, woohoo)... all kinds of things wrong with this :)

Try looking at some older stuff of vexorian if you want a good gamecache storage system. Besides, noone uses gamecache anymore anyway.

Captain Griffen	Ahh, the nublet even got the fields the wrong way around. Anyway, we're now in the age of the pre-processor. Gamecache based attatchment systems are outdated - slow and unwieldy, not to mention bug prone.

iNfraNe	There is no bug. - The matricks :P

Ammorth	What is used besides GameCache? Structs? But don't structs still requires a game-cache call to attach the struct number to a handle? So technically it's still using game-cache (just 1 call instead of 10 or so).

You can use game cache. Or object data. Or a hash. Or TimerAttach or something for a timer.

I use unit/item user data and TimerAttach, and then game cache to attach structs to the rather less helpful objects (which is rare).

SFilip	Or you can use the CSData method of simply storing it into an integer array. The index will be H2I(handle)-0x100000. Though it might be a good idea to check if this is larger than 8190 and if it is use a second array for instance.

Ammorth	Wait... 0x100000 is an integer that if subtracted from an integer handle will get the handle number? Ie: Unit A = 158739-0x100000 = 0 Unit B = 158741-0x100000 = 2

This method is not limited to integers (although that is most useful for attaching structs to handles now)

you can attach anything to anything in the same method as handle vars. The only disadvantage is that if you needed multiple attachments of the same kind you'd need to declare multiples of the same type. The advantage is that this is much faster and 100% bug-free.

MaD[Lion]	hmm, damn i just though of something :P But wont work XD wonder if its possible to convert Trackables to Integer, and somehow destroy that memory location... maybe turn it to a location and destroy it? :P

Troll-Brain	I don't know any programming language so ... And this function is for people who use gui almost. Why widget ? cause what i said i just want to recreate unlimited custom values for any widget. If it's really useless, simply destroy this post

I very much doubt it. It would try to clean it up like it was a location. Most likely wouldn't do anything, or would bug.
