Compare Highest Value

[defskull]

Okay you see, I wanna compare values and debug the value on screen.
Currently, this is what I'm doing;

• Actions
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • i1 Greater than i2
      • i1 Greater than i3
    • Then - Actions
      • Game - Display to (All players) the text: i1 is greatest
    • Else - Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • i2 Greater than i1
          • i2 Greater than i3
        • Then - Actions
          • Game - Display to (All players) the text: i2 is greatest
        • Else - Actions
          • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            • If - Conditions
              • i3 Greater than i2
              • i3 Greater than i1
            • Then - Actions
              • Game - Display to (All players) the text: i3 is greatest
            • Else - Actions

You see, it's quite unefficient if I want to compare 12 values at once (for 12 players).

Any other algorithm you would like to present ? Come on, don't be shy ;p

NOTE: I know "what happens if i1 = i2 , i1 = i3 , vice-versa ?"
Don't jump into that yet (but if you want, that's good).

I just wanna compare X values at once and debug the biggest value (assume that all values are not the same).

Someone *just* had the same question

But since you just want the highest value, you just need to do one pass through the data:
Set test value = 0
For each integer a from 1 to array size
{
if value[integer a] > test value
then
{
test value = value[integer a]
test index = integer a
}
}

So the test value represents i1, i2, i3 ?
So it should be arrayed ?
TestValue[1] = i1
TestValue[2] = i2
TestValue[3] = i3

Is this what you're saying ?

If you can, show me in GUI Trigger (to compare 3 integer values and show it on screen (the biggest value)).

Yes that's correct.

• Set values
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set value[1] = (Random integer number between 1 and 10)
    • Set value[2] = (Random integer number between 1 and 10)
    • Set value[3] = (Random integer number between 1 and 10)
    • Set value[4] = (Random integer number between 1 and 10)
    • Set value[5] = (Random integer number between 1 and 10)
    • Set valueSize = 5

• Sort
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -sort as An exact match
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set testValue = 0
    • Set testIndex = 0
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to valueSize, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • value[(Integer A)] Greater than testValue
          • Then - Actions
            • Set testIndex = (Integer A)
            • Set testValue = value[(Integer A)]
          • Else - Actions

That's a simple trigger to find the highest value, and which number it is. NOTE: if two values are the same, it picks the first one.

Okay, we have solved the "which number is greatest" issue.
Right now, how do I display the value which is the greatest, and share the same value ?

I mean;
Value[1] = 5
Value[2] = 7
Value[3] = 2
Value[4] = 7

How do I display the values that are greatest and share the same value.

So the conditions are;
Greatest Value
Share Value

Which in this case, it shows Value[2] and Value[4].

Is there any new algorithm ?

 

[rulerofiron99]

Run another loop after the "find highest" loop, this time checking if each value is equal to the highest value.

• For each (Integer A) from 1 to valueSize, do (Actions)
• Loop - Actions
• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
• If - Conditions
• value[(Integer A)] Equal to testValue
• Then - Actions
• Game - Display value[integer a]
• Game - Display integer a
• Else - Actions
