Lists, Vectors, ArrayLists, etc - Krx17 - 04.01.2011

Has anyone ever tried to make a List or Vector plugin using STL? It could make life a lot easier for some users as they wouldn't have to deal with raw arrays. I thought about this after we were learning about ArrayLists and data structures in my Java class.

Also, Vectors are becoming/have become deprecated in Java.

I don't need the API for vectors. I know what they are and what they do. I'm just wondering if anybody has ever tried building a plugin utilizing vectors to make life easier on scripters.

I made Vectors plugin for myself,but I lose it when I reinstall windows.

I'm using vectors in my script, and now I'll be trying to develop structure like this:
struct PLAYER{
<pdata>
};
vector<PLAYER> PlayersData;
But for now I don't see a real point linking vector into pawn, as you can't use it as real vector anyway, you could rather make a simple dynamic array, with reduced but much more efficient methods.

Well for the advanced users, I'm pretty sure they know how to make their script efficient. New users most likely always will make arrays MUCH to big and a vector or arraylist type plugin will reduce that since they don't start out so big.

People dont really realize we already really have a dynamic array plugin. Search for incognito's gvar plugin, it has functions for storing floats,strings, and ints - all of which have an index parameter so you can create arrays.


I agree though it would be pretty awesome to see an STL plugin with the algorithms,maps,lists, and all the other cool things it has to offer.
