[Trigger] Checking for first True or False boolean

[Avator]

I got a boolean variable with a bunch of arrays and I'd like to know if it's possible to check which of the array's is the first on a row to be True or False.

Example:

Boolean[1] = False
Boolean[2] = False
Boolean[3] = False
Boolean[4] = False
Boolean[5] = False
Boolean[6] = False
Boolean[7] = False
Boolean[8] = False
Boolean[9] = False
Boolean[10] = False
Boolean[11] = True
Boolean[12] = True
Boolean[13] = True
Boolean[14] = True
Boolean[15] = True
Boolean[16] = True
Boolean[17] = True
Boolean[18] = True
Boolean[19] = True
Boolean[20] = True

In this example, I want to check for Boolean[11] only. Boolean 12 and higher should not be effected.

I was thinking about a Integer A loop, but I don't know how I should only check for the first that passes the 'test'.

• For each (Integer A) from 1 to 20 do (Actions):
  • Custom script: exitwhen udg_Boolean[(GetForLoop(Integer A))] = true
  • If/Then/Else - Multiple functions:
    • If - Conditions:
      • Boolean[(Integer A)] = true
    • Then - Actions:
      • Do blah
    • Else - Actions:

Integer A strikes again...

Actually, i'm not sure if this will work, im not used to Jass, and dont have WE to test it. Just remember to save everything in case it crashes your warcraft D: If so, then just remove the script and add Skip remaining actions at the end of the then actions. The only problem is that you'll have to place the if/then/else block at the end of your trigger, as the skip remaining actions action skip everything after it...

local integer i = 0
loop
exitwhen udg_Boolean[i] = true
set i = i + 1
endloop

 

[darkrider]

skip remaining actions wont do it?

 

[Avator]

Skip Remaining Actions would cause the entire rest of my trigger to turn off, which isn't very useful.

Thank you both raft_pl and HappyTauren for your solutions. Since I'm not entirely sure if my trigger will work correctly, do you mind if I'll place that part of the trigger here once I finished it and could you check if it would work correctly if you'd look at it? You don't need to test it, since I can't test it either unless I make a big bunch of other triggers or else I'll have to edit a lot, which screws up a lot of work.

 

[raft_pl]

Skip remaining actions does the exact thing as its stated in its name - it skips all the other actions after it, even those outside if/then/else blocks/loops. Thats why exitwhen would be a better solution.
Dang.

Of course we could check it, but i won't be able to do that for the next two weeks, cause i don't have my comp for that time...

 

[darkrider]

actually... once your boolean is true you can make the trigger to run another trigger with all of your coding in there... and that would let you use "skip remaining actions" after "run X trigger"

EDIT: as we posted at the same time i didnt read you in time... im not saying the jass sentence isn't better that skip remaining actions... but maybe easier to apply for a gui guy

I encountered a problem: When I try to save the map, it give me an error:

Line 704: Expected a name
exitwhen udg_ItemSlot[(GetForLoop(Integer A))] = false

What part is wrong here?

 

[HappyTauren]

Cause it is GetForLoopIndexA() and not what silly raft wrote.

 

[Avator]

New error:

Line 704: Expected '=='
exitwhen udg_ItemSlot[(GetForLoopIndexA())] = false

 

[darkrider]

udg_ItemSlot[(GetForLoopIndexA())] == false

 

[Avator]

Thanks! No more error

Use bj_forLoopAIndex rather then GetForLoopIndexA() as it just returns it.

 

[Avator]

I have no idea what it does, but you know what you're talking about xD

 

[GhostWolf]

function GetForLoopIndexA takes nothing returns integer
    return bj_forLoopAIndex
endfunction

GetForLoopIndexA will simply get bj_forLoopAIndex so you can directly put it there from the start.

 

[Avator]

No need to explain, since I'm not going to understand it anyway. There's nothing I know to do in JASS except copying from others xD

So I'll just take your word for it and assume there won't be any problems with it ^^

 

[raft_pl]

Cause it is GetForLoopIndexA() and not what silly raft wrote.

I said im not used to jass ;p I just remembered it goes with something like GetForLoop, but didn't remember the other part.
