Yay - arrays. Normal or multidimensional? I was wondering when you would release AOT compatible stuff.

When are you adding it to the trigger loader stuff?

At this point they are 1D. But I will be making it also 2D.

Either me or Mythic_Freak will be releasing the Trigger Loader with the new version of the QVs.

Nice. Those that knows the difference between arrays and teaspoons will surely benefit a lot from this.

Nah, I'm just making fun of my own ignorance. This sounds great.

Arrays are an organized way to store variables. Think of them as a table.

Normal Quest Vars can do the exact same thing if the Array has a fixed size.
Something like P1Food P2Food P3Food P4Food P1Wood P2Wood P3Wood P4Wood P1Gold P2Gold P3Gold P4Gold quest vars, could be put in a 4x3 Array named "Resources". Being 4 the number of players, and 3 the type of resource.

However, there are cases were a dynamic Array may be used.
For example, one could use Arrays to save the unit ID of all the villagers that one player has, and give them attributes such as Villager HP or Villager Task ID.
The array gets bigger as more villagers are created.

And you will also be able to sort the array. So you put the villager with the lowest HP in the first row. Or to find out wich player has the highest amount of wood...

it will be AoT compatible

It wasn't already? 29

This version will be integrated with the Trigger Loader

Any chance of making the trigger loader not trigger lock in Vanilla first?

And you will also be able to sort the array. So you put the villager with the lowest HP in the first row

Aha! Now I know why you were asking about arrays when I was showing you that map!

Sounds like great stuff, I can't wait.

Well naturally.. I've already fixed the bugs.

I passed the vanilla version to invent00r. My vanilla is really messed up, although I'm still sure it did load without problems the times I tested. But the functions share the same code as the TT ones, so I didn't run any tests on them specifically. I just checked if it would trigger block and it didn't.

Well, it seems invent00r still fixed a few errors. But now it works on his vanilla too, so it will be fully operational at the next release.

Apparently it's only partially fixed.

It's been a long time since I've had to reboot my AoM so many times in one day 11

Come to think of it, last time that happened it was invent00r's fault too.

Calm down HailToTheOboe, it's still being developed.

Arrays? Hm, I usedthem before when I used that GM program...
I used them to make a snake game and an inventory

It will be nice to do arrays. So far in terms of AOM I have only used it in wildrness escape in which I used a bool one to say whever a player is a hunter or a runner.

I assume you used the array method of Matei?

Apparently it's only partially fixed.

We haven't uploaded the new version on this site yet, so please be patient. We'll inform you as soon as a new version is available.

No, I was testing something online with invent00r using his "fixed" loader, and it was OoSing, but then he fixed it some more so now it's fine.

Good news. The trigger loader is almost ready for public.

I've been working hard on perfecting the Arrays structure and making sure they work as expected.
It'll have include fundamental functions such as Swap, Find, and Sort.

Sorting arrays is really something. :|

Btw, pubby8, I also used GM but the long-not-updated-version 7 is worse than v6.

GM? I hate it when people use abbreviations in a forum unrelated to the subject. What is GM can I ask?

These triggers sound good though, may help some effects I want to achieve. It may be too complex to the design community at large though, some people get scared by QV Randomize... or Unit Modify even.

@:AnnoDominius
Not sure, but I assumed he refered to Game Maker. A computer tool that allows simple games to be created by drag-and-drop.

And yes I'm aware of the complexity. But the trigger Loader by itself is more aimed for programmers that are going to release new triggers sets. So even if it's a really advanced subject, and even if people don't know how to use arrays, they'll probably benefit from it in the future.
