Tables

Since eScript Basic does not support any data structures like arrays and dictionaries, the Tables module was implemented in battleWarden:Script. The purpose of this module is to provide you a way for structuring data. It can be compared with a dictionary as you can assign values (integer, string) to keys.

Syntax	Parameters	Return Value	Description
CreateTable() AS INTEGERPTR	none	Pointer to the created table.	Creates a new table by allocating memory.
FreeTable(table AS INTEGERPTR) AS VOID	table: specifies a pointer to an existing table.	none	Frees an existing table by deallocating its memory.
SetInteger(table AS INTEGERPTR, key AS STRING, value AS INTEGER)	table: specifies a pointer to an existing table. key: specifies an identifier for the value to be stored in the table. value: specifies a value to be stored in the table.	none	Adds a new integer value and its specified key to an existing table. In case there is already an element with the specified key, it will be replaced.
SetString(table AS INTEGERPTR, key AS STRING, value AS STRING)	table: specifies a pointer to an existing table. key: specifies an identifier for the value to be stored in the table. value: specifies a value to be stored in the table.	none	Adds a new string and its specified key to an existing table. In case there is already an element with the specified key, it will be replaced
GetInteger(table AS INTEGERPTR, key AS STRING) AS INTEGER	table: specifies a pointer to an existing table. key: specifies an identifier of an existing value.	Value of the specified key. If the key does not exist, the return value will be 0.	Returns the value of the specified key.
GetString(table AS INTEGERPTR, key AS STRING) AS STRING	table: specifies a pointer to an existing table. key: specifies an identifier of an existing value.	String of the specified key. If the key does not exist, the return value will be an empty string.	Returns the string of the specified key.
