Does GoS EXT API consistently follows lua index convention (start at 1) or does it follow C convention (start at 0) or there's no consistency and we should know with wich table we're dealing with?

 

example: unit:GetBuff(index). is index from 1 to buffCount?

Hello, looping trought buffs is probably one of the least exceptions where you start from 0.
Because the Game has been coded in C++ and we need to follow their way.

An example taken directly from 8-official-Activator.lua
 

for i = 0, 63 do
		local buffData = myHero:GetBuff(i);
		if buffData.count > 0 then
			if (buffData.type == 13) or (buffData.type == 26) then --HealBuffType or Counter
				if (buffData.name == "ItemDarkCrystalFlask") or (buffData.name == "ItemCrystalFlaskJungle") or (buffData.name == "ItemCrystalFlask") or (buffData.name == "ItemMiniRegenPotion") or (buffData.name == "RegenerationPotion") then
					currentlyDrinkingPotion = true;
					break;
				end
			end
		end

On the other hand if you're working with lua tables and such, it suggest looping from 1.
