SValue Loaders

SValue loaders are script functions that deserialize sval files at the gamemode initialization step.

They are defined in sval files like this:

<loader>SomeFunction</loader>
<dict>
  <string name="example">example</string>
</dict>

And loaded by scripts like this:

void SomeFunction(SValue@ sval)
{
  string example = GetParamString(UnitPtr(), sval, "example");
  print("SomeFunction example: \"" + example + "\"");
}

You can also specify an order attribute to specify the order in which they are loaded. This is required for sets for example, as they depend on items to exist.

Only one loader tag may exist per file.
