Sorting variables.

[Johan Liebert]

Excuse my bad english
Hello guys. Can you help me with something? I'm working on an evented tactical battle project and I need for the battle order a way to sort variables . Lets say that I have 5 variables named ABCD& E. Can I sort them so that the value of the highest variable is change to 1? For example if C is the highest among all its value is change to 1 ; if E is the second, its value is change to 2 etc ( actually I have 12 variables to sort but if I'm told how to do it with 5...)
Thank you guys.

Hmmm sounds like a good challenge, I'm not 100% sure how I would go about doing this but it sounds possible to do, you may need a bit of javascript to accomplish it. Let me play around a bit on MV and I'll see what I can do. I'll report back, I am a bit busy right now so don't expect me back too soon lol.

So, to turn something like this:

Into such values?:

If yes, I used this script call:

var arr = [7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18];
arr.sort(function(a, b) {
   return $gameVariables.value(b) - $gameVariables.value(a);
});
for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
  $gameVariables.setValue(arr[i], i+1);
};
