Array question

[clark]

lets say I have an array... ex [1, 7, 5, 8], named acva

and i did this:

var acva2 = acva.split(" ");

for (var i = 0; i < acva2.length; i++) {
if (Number(acva2[-i-]) <= 2)
this.doStuff();


would it 'doStuff' for 7, 5, and 8?

or no?[/I]

 

[Mr. Trivel]

.split(' ') is for Strings, not arrays.
Why not just do

var acva = [1, 7,5, 7];
for (var i = 0; i < acva.length; i++)
{
   if (acva[i] <= 2) this.doStuff();
}

actually, I was trying to learn to define a variable related to an actor from your perkpoints script, and i saw this:

var paramPPOL = String(parameters['Points On Levels'] || "1 3 5 7 10 13 14 15 18 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 65 75 85 90 93 96 98 99"); var paramPPOLD = paramPPOL.split(" ");

then this:


Game_Actor.prototype.initPerkPoints = function() {
for (var i = 0; i < paramPPOLD.length; i++) {
if (Number(paramPPOLD) <= this._level)
this.addPerkPoint();
};
};

but honestly, I'm just trying to set the initial variable to 0 except in certain conditions.... actors with id 1 and 2 will start with 5 points in these variables... funny how I'm learning from your script and you answered lol

see, I'm making 'invisible'-ish stats related to characters and I really just need to define the variables related to actors and be able to alter them with script calls... which, if I can understand this, I'm sure I can do it.
[doublepost=1458074640,1458074558][/doublepost]i assume that its checking the 'level' of the character, versus the levels defined as perkpoint levels, and adding points for each level defined as a perkpoint level - correct?

 

[Mr. Trivel]

That initPerkPoints is ran once when actor is first initialized to catch up on all perk points if he didn't start at level 1.
So I split that long number line into array and loop through it checking it against current actor level, if check passes - add perk point.

As for actor IDs, you could just do:
var theseIdsOnly = [1, 2];
if (theseIdsOnly.include(this._actorId))
{
this.doSomethingSpecial();
}

Alright, so if I add

var _GameActor_initMembers = Game_Actor.prototype.initMembers;
Game_Actor.prototype.initMembers = function() {
_GameActor_initMembers.call(this);
this._perkPoints = 1;

then the variable actor._perkpoints exists for all actors, at 1 point?

 

[Mr. Trivel]

That is correct.

say i made an array of strings, if i used the

for (var i = 0 ; var i > array.lenth; i++)

and wanted to add

this._ before each string, how could this be accomplished?

say the array is

echo, bravo, alpha

and i want it to add

this._echo
this._ bravo
etc

the end results would be

this._echo = 0;

 

[Kit Ramos]

first off I'd like to make mention that adding stuff on to strings will not change the location of the variable or the means to reference it but the contents of the variable,

so if you had such an array like:

var myarray = new Array("echo","bravo","alpha");

you could do something like this:

for(var i=0;i<myarray.length;i++)
{
    myarray[0]="this._"+myarray[I];
}

it will of added in the "this._" in front, making the this._echo you said you wanted but you wouldn't be able to refer to the variable using

this._echo= anything;​

because this._echo is not the variable name, but rather the contents of the variable:

myarray[0]

I don't think there's a dynamic way to create new variables, with out using something dangerous like eval()
but I could be wrong.
