First I would like to wish a happy new year to everyone that may read this :)
I am having trouble on how to make a container for some data that I am importing into my application, and I am not sure on how to explain this very well and my english is not really a that good so I hope you can bear with my mistake and help me with some guidance.
Currently with a foreach I am importing the follow fields from the data I receive:
guid, itemid, name, owner(optional, can be null), zoneid, titleid, subid, heading, x, y, z, typeA, typeB, typeC
From the above fields I need to store a Waypoint list of all coords a given item has moved to BUT for each guid I have a new list of waypoints.
And from the waypoint list the first entry is also my initial item start location which would be my item initial position (if you notice i have a separate list for it which I was not sure would be better or not) not all items have a waypoint list but all items have the first position.
So the first idea I came with to store this data was a list with a class with 2 inner classes with their list:
public List<ItemList> myList = new List<ItemList>();
public class ItemList
{
public int guid { get; set; }
public int itemid { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
public int titleid { get; set; }
public itemType status { get; set; }
public class Waypoint
{
public float posX { get; set; }
public float posY { get; set; }
public float posZ { get; set; }
}
public List<Waypoint> waypoint = new List<Waypoint>();
public class Location
{
public int zone { get; set; }
public int subid { get; set; }
public int heading { get; set; }
public float posX { get; set; }
public float posY { get; set; }
public float posZ { get; set; }
}
public List<Location> position = new List<Location>();
}
So here is an example of how I would add a new waypoint to a GUID that exists in the list
bool itemExists = myList.Exists(item => item.guid == guid && item.itemid == itemid);
if (itemExists)
{
int lastDistance = 3;
ItemList.Waypoint nextWaypoint;
ItemList myItem = myList.Find(item => item.guid == guid && item.itemid == itemid);
if (myItem.waypoint.Count == 0)
{
nextWaypoint = new ItemList.Waypoint();
nextWaypoint.posX = PosX;
nextWaypoint.posY = PosY;
nextWaypoint.posZ = PosZ;
}
else
{
ItemList.Waypoint lastWaypoint = myItem.waypoint[myItem.waypoint.Count - 1];
if (lastWaypoint != null)
{
lastDistance = getDistance(x, y, z, lastWaypoint.posX, lastWaypoint.posY, lastWaypoint.posZ);
}
if (lastDistance > 2)
{
nextWaypoint = new ItemList.Waypoint();
nextWaypoint.posX = PosX;
nextWaypoint.posY = PosY;
nextWaypoint.posZ = PosZ;
}
}
myItem.waypoint.Add(nextWaypoint);
}
Then to register a new item I would take advantage of the itemExist above so I won't register the same GUID again:
ItemList newItem = new ItemList();
newItem.guid = guid;
newItem.itemid = itemid;
newItem.name = name;
newItem.status = status;
newItem.titleid = titleid;
// Item location
ItemList.Location itemLocation = new ItemList.Location();
itemLocation.subid = 0;
itemLocation.zone= zone;
itemLocation.heading = convertHeading(Heading);
itemLocation.posX = PosX;
itemLocation.posY = PosY;
itemLocation.posZ = PosZ;
newItem.position.Add(itemLocation);
myList.Add(newItem);
Could you help me with advices on how my class structure and lists should look like ?
Are there better ways to interate with the lists to get lastWaypoint of a GUID or verify wether an item exist or not ?
What else would you advise me in general ?
PS: If you have any questions or if there is something I missed to post please let me know and I will update it.
