It would be extremely helpful if we could define array sizes based on Presets and other "constant" values. This would allow us to replicate this functionality from programming languages like C:

enum someEnumeration {
	entry1,
	entry2,
	entry3,
	NUM_ENTRIES
};
int someArray[NUM_ENTRIES];

The huge advantage of this is you can add or remove enum (preset) elements without worrying about updating every array definition that uses those presets (and potentially getting out-of-bounds errors). Currently, arrays in the Trigger Module of the editor do not allow their sizes to be defined by constant variables.

hiho,

i totally agree with what you said! i already mentioned it here but it is always good to know that there are others which thinks the same about this huge galaxy scripting problem. =)

The hardest part is the ingame error reports are so vague, it can be really difficult to track down which array is causing an out-of-bounds error.

So... is this really impossible? I have quite a lot of arrays I wish to give a constant size. Changing the size is very bothersome, because it's so easy to forget an array.

Any workaround? Statement of blizz they will implement this? Anything?

I am gonna bump this for programmer justice!

Not gonna work. Sadly. Haven't tried galazy scripting yet. It might be possible
