<=[[cw4:common_scripting_language]] ======Vectors ====== Vectors is a new data type that simplifies passing values between commands. Many commands require a "set" of data. For example, to pass the location of an object on a map, the x, y, and z-coordinates are required. Consider the `GetObjPosition` command. assume you want to obtain the position of a specific unit and pass it to a different unit for targeting purposes. Without vectors, the command pair would be GetObjPosition("Enemy1" true) ->ePosZ ->ePosy ->ePosZ # intermediate operations that may adjust or necessitate the values of x, y, or x SetUnitSpecifiedTarget(self <-ePosZ <-ePosy <-ePosZ) With vectors, the command is somewhat simplified. GetObjPosition("Enemy1" true) ->ePos # intermediate operations that may adjust or necessitate the values of x, y, or x SetUnitSpecifiedTarget(self <-ePos) This becomes more meaningful for complex commands that may necessitate multiple sets of paired elements, such as: BallisticArcLateral(<-armPos <-projSpeed <-target <-projMaxHeight) ->travelTime ->gravity ->fireVel
