Quick help with a small script.

I think he's saying why parse data like that when you can just use multidim arrays? For example you have:

PHP Code:

effects = {
  "100:cause:Bleed:3:auto:460:bleed",
  "75:cause:Disea se:15:auto:15,120:spread_disease"
} 


Which with a multidim array could be:

PHP Code:

effects = {
  {100,"cause","Bleed",3,"auto",460,"bleed"},
  {75,"cause","Disease",15,"auto","15,120","spread_disease"}
} 


And you avoid needing to do all the extra parsing. Alternatively to cover the damage problem, you can do:

PHP Code:

effects = {
  {100,"cause","Bleed",3,"auto",460,"bleed"},
  {75,"cause","Disease",15,"auto",{15,120},"spread_disease"}
} 


Then, when you start working with the damage check the variable type, if it's numeric apply regularly, if it's an array apply min-max. You can do:

PHP Code:

array.add({75,"cause","Disease",15,"auto",{15,120},"spread_disease"}); 


you know?
