Array Variables?

[Space_Ship]

Hi I enjoy making abilities and items and such, but I dont know how to do some things. Such as making spells leak proof aswell as bug proof. I do use a couple custom script codes to remove points and stuff I need to learn how to use array variables also. So if anyone can help me, then thanks.

An array variable is basically a variable with an index. You can see each index as a new variable.

So instead of creating two variables such as:

Variable1
Variable2

You simply create 1 variable with an array such as:
Variable[1]
Variable[2]

You can then loop through the index or do any other kind of mathematics with the index.
It's really simple.

I highly discourage using arrays for something like this. Arrays have 8191 valid indices starting from 0. If you are just using temporary locations (you honestly won't have more than 3 or 4, max) there is no need to use arrays.

That's true, but he was asking how they work so... ^.^
Great info though

to fill up the variables use set variable action...

• arrays
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set anIntegerArray[1] = 50
    • Set anIntegerArray[2] = 3
    • Set anIntegerArray[3] = 64

then to loop throught em, simple use a for loop using the for loop integer variable as an index.

• loop
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing test as An exact match
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 3, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String(anIntegerArray[(Integer A)]))

also, you can change the size of the array when u create it.

Nah not for temporary locations. But thanks. I'm learning array's for GUI abilities. I will try your test method also helekiller. + rep. +rep hashije also thanks for reassuring my hypothesis.
