Can't create Record<Id, any> about typed-screeps

I don't know what's the use case, but const data = new Map<Id<Creep>, number>() may also be an option.

Game object id's were re-typed as a result of #92, which has been planned for some time. Since preparations are being made for a major version release, I thought it would be a good time to include this breaking change.

Unfortunately, object keys must be of type sting | number | symbol so Id<Creep> can't be used as the key type for a Record.

You can still make a record with a string key, and explicitly type assert the key values to strings.

const data: Record<string, number> = {};
data[creep.id as string] = 42; // type assert Id<Creep> to string

Yes, Map seems like a much better way to handle these now as Map keys don't have to be primitives.

    const creepStat = new Map<Id<Creep>, number>();
    const creepId: Id<Creep> = "123";

    creepStat.set(creepId, 123);

    creepStat.forEach((number, id) => { 
        const creep = Game.getObjectById(key); // type of Creep | null

        if (creep) {
            // do something?
        }
    });

What about places where the ID is used as a key in memory?

Cast to string or number as index types can only be string | number | symbol types.
