i wnat to create an array that is accessable from anywhere untill game reload,this code works whil ein the same frame,but if i access it from another porocedure it doesnt display the values set to it


Code: 
    PerkName := [get_ini_setting(ini_file + Array_aa), get_ini_setting(ini_file + Array_bb), get_ini_setting(ini_file + Array_cc), get_ini_setting(ini_file + Array_dd), get_ini_setting(ini_file + Array_ee), get_ini_setting(ini_file + Array_ff), get_ini_setting(ini_file + Array_gg), get_ini_setting(ini_file + Array_hh), get_ini_setting(ini_file + Array_ii), get_ini_setting(ini_file + Array_jj), get_ini_setting(ini_file + Array_kk), get_ini_setting(ini_file + Array_ll), get_ini_setting(ini_file + Array_a), get_ini_setting(ini_file + Array_b), get_ini_setting(ini_file + Array_c), get_ini_setting(ini_file + Array_d), get_ini_setting(ini_file + Array_e), get_ini_setting(ini_file + Array_f), get_ini_setting(ini_file + Array_g), get_ini_setting(ini_file + Array_h), get_ini_setting(ini_file + Array_i), get_ini_setting(ini_file + Array_j), get_ini_setting(ini_file + Array_k), get_ini_setting(ini_file + Array_l), get_ini_setting(ini_file + Array_m), get_ini_setting(ini_file + Array_n), get_ini_setting(ini_file + Array_o), get_ini_setting(ini_file + Array_p), get_ini_setting(ini_file + Array_q), get_ini_setting(ini_file + Array_r), get_ini_setting(ini_file + Array_s), get_ini_setting(ini_file + Array_t), get_ini_setting(ini_file + Array_u), get_ini_setting(ini_file + Array_v), get_ini_setting(ini_file + Array_w), get_ini_setting(ini_file + Array_x), get_ini_setting(ini_file + Array_y), get_ini_setting(ini_file + Array_z)];
    Display_Array := [Array_aa, Array_bb, Array_cc, Array_dd, Array_ee, Array_ff, Array_gg, Array_hh, Array_ii, Array_jj, Array_kk, Array_ll, Array_a, Array_b, Array_c, Array_d, Array_e, Array_f, Array_g, Array_h, Array_i, Array_j, Array_k, Array_l, Array_m, Array_n, Array_o, Array_p, Array_q, Array_r, Array_s, Array_t, Array_u, Array_v, Array_w, Array_x, Array_y, Array_z];
   if (Spam_INI) then begin
       while (track < 38) do begin
           display_msg(Display_Array[track] + " " + PerkName[track]);
           track := track +1;
       end
    end
   fix_array(PerkName);

what am i doing wrong?

edit : found the problem,seems using a variable name to set a variable is the problem,any way of doing that?for instance i have a variable string i want to use the string as the name for an int variable,is this possible?or is any way of assigning a static int as the array id for arrays?

I do not quite understand the task, what do you want to do ?.
if you need a constant array with your ”id", make it saveable.

i have a defined string that when using an array variable name is set to an int,i want to use this as the array name,but is stored as int

boo thnx,i wanted the arrayID int to be settable by me

I don't understand anything, string... name... int...
give a practical example.

Code: 
mapArray["i have a defined string"] := 515;
So?)

used afetr array :

:shock: full shit
#define PerkName - first, it is not a variable with text, but a simple substitution of the characters - Comprehension.

Code: 
#define PerkName                     Comprehension
#define ArrayPerk(name)            mapArray[#name] := PerkName
#define GetPerkValue(name, i)     mapArray.name[i]

variable PerkName, mapArray;

procedure start begin
      PerkName := ["a","b","c"];
      ArrayPerk(Comprehension);

      display_msg("result: " + GetPerkValue(PerkName, 0)); // should print "a"
end
after compille script
Code: 
variable Comprehension, mapArray;
      Comprehension := temp_array(0, 0) + arrayexpr(0, "a") + arrayexpr(1, "b") + arrayexpr(2, "c");
      set_array(mapArray, "Comprehension", Comprehension);
      display_msg("result:" + get_array(get_array(mapArray, "Comprehension"), 0));

this code copy pasted into blank gl_ ,results in 0 when in game
 
This should not work, because it is an example, and the script code is not complete, the associative array is not made.
Read the documentation about arrays.
 
ok thxn for ur help

question,do arrays act similar to sfall globals?as in they are accessable from anywhere?


edit : i feela s tho i was rude,im sorry Mr.Stalin

thnx

edit : wanta ask before i submit a request

1) what is the pro's cons of using arrays vrs sfall globals

2) is it possible to add static int arrayID settable by the modder via sfall function request?

It's not about the pros and cons, they just have different tasks to use.

Сan add a new function.
But I do not understand why use a statistical ID?
You not told me about your task, your example above does not explain why you need it.
Possible, it can be done without a statistical ID.

If you want to use saved arrays, you access them by their names you set. Not sure why you insist on static int.
 
im debating switching my perk mods from sfall globals to arrays,thus would have tons of arrays,donno if it is worth it,lots of work,setting int specific for each would be easy,tho if u can use a string thats even better,in this procedure i have most of the code reading the ini files,how would i use the name?

Code: 
procedure Innit_Array(variable PerkName,variable Spam_INI,variable ini_file) begin

    end
   //call SetPerkVariable(PerkArrayName, PerkName);
   //save_array(PerkArrayName, PerkName);
   fix_array(PerkName);
end

as u can see,im using a precedure var to set the name

quite probably is a better way of doing it
 
Why so many variables? What do aa bb cc suffixes contain?
Show the full script.

ps. very bad script code. :-)
 
they are defines for ini settings,and i know,not done yet

this is some of the defines,they are all similar
Code: 
#define aa                                                                     "Enable"                       //0
#define bb                                                                      "Ranks"                        //1
#define cc                                                                       "RequirementLevel"

got it working,this is the relavent code

init
Code: 
 save_array(PerkArrayName, PerkName);
 PerkArrayName := load_array(PerkArrayName);

and retrieve
Code: 
procedure GetPerkValue(variable PerkArrayName, variable ArrayLocation) begin
   variable ArrayName := load_array(PerkArrayName);
   return ArrayName[ArrayLocation];
end

thnx for the help guys

wondering if it is worth hastle

edit : here is the script

edit : which is better?the array or sfall globals?this is globals script

I rewrote your script to you, without using statistical id and global variables.
in Set_Global_Variables - arrays will be initialized for all your added perks
in GetPerkValue - you can refer to any of its parameters by the name of the perk

edit : which is better?the array or sfall globals?this is globals script
Click to expand...
Arrays are better suited for this. Global variables were created for other uses.
