Static property in methodmap

Hello. I've been using static methods for my natives instead of normal functions, sort of like namespaces in other languages. I do know this is not how methodmaps are supposed to be used but it makes it much easier to distinguish what belongs to where, for example;

FooBar.Get(); instead of GetCurrentFooBar();

So my question: Is this possible?

PHP Code:


		
			
FooBar.Value = 10;

PrintToChatAll("%i", FooBar.Value);

I've tried but i can't seem to make my property static, and i really don't want to do this:

PHP Code:


		
			
FooBar foo;

foo.Value = 10;

I'm not a native english speaker so forgive me if i've used incorrect terms.

Re: Static property in methodmap

if it is "static", don't create the setter and return the value wanted on the get.

get() = { return 10; }

EDIT:

Or if u were looking the other way arround.

int myVar = 0;

FooBar.set(int value) = { myVar = value; }
FooBar.get() = { return myVar; }

no matter how many foobar you use they will refer to the same variable value.

Re: Static property in methodmap

Okay so what i want is not FooBar.Get()/FooBar.Set(int value), i want to have multiple values i can retrieve/set with FooBar.Value = 1/FooBar.Value, just like ConVar.IntValue works. But after trying many different things it seems like it can't be done currently so i'll have to go with FooBar.Get/FooBar.Set for the time being.

Re: Static property in methodmap

I'm confuse of what your trying to do. I don't see the "static" mimic at all in what your trying to do.

posibility that I understand:
#1
if you think you have to call FooBar.Get() or FooBar.Set() is because you do not understand methodmaps properties.

You have to use FooBar.Value = 1 and FooBar.Value it just you have to declare inside your methodmap what will happen getter/setter.

PHP Code:


		
			
int g_iGlobalMimicStaticHolder;

methodmap FooBar
{
    property int Value 
    {
        public set(int value) { g_iGlobalMimicStaticHolder = value };
        public get() { return g_iGlobalMimicStaticHolder; }
    }
}

Some where in code:
FooBar foo;
foo.Value = 2;

FooBar myNewFoo;
if (foo.Value == myNewFoo.Value)
    PrintToServer("it work!");

#2
If you want to save value per instance of object then you have to store it some where. Example of unlimited storage:

PHP Code:


		
			
ArrayList g_MyValue;

public APLRes AskPluginLoad2(Handle myself, bool late, char[] error, int error_length)
{
    g_MyValue = new ArrayList(1);
    
    /* if use natives put it there */
    return APLRes_Success;
}

methodmap FooBar
{
    public FooBar()
    {
        return view_as<FooBar>g_MyValue.Push(0/* default variable value here */); 
    }
    
    property int Index
    {
        public get() { return view_as<int>this; } // array index
    }

    property int Value 
    {
        public set(int value) { g_MyValue.Set(view_as<int>this, value); }
        public get() { return g_MyValue.Get(view_as<int>this); }
    }
}

You can also declare your methodmaps function as native if you want to share w.e. memory with other plugins
property int Value
{
public native set();
...
inside AskPluginLoad2
CreateNative("FooBar.Value.set", Native_SetFooBarValue);
...

well that pretty much it

Edit: none of the above has been really tested but the logic should be right and the examples prob work just don't be suprise if I mistype a var or w.e.
