Please remove the link to my isNumber function.

I prefer Clockturn's isNumber function.

Code: [Select]

function isNumber(%string)
{
if(%string <= 999999 && (%string >= -999999))
{
// Fast solution
return %string $= %string * 1;
}

else
{
// Slow solution
%dot = 0; // Track if period present
%sci = 0; // Track if scientific notation present

for(%j = 0; %j < strLen(%string); %j++)
{
%c = getSubStr(%string, %j, 1);

if(%c $= "-")
{
if(%sci == -1)
{
%sci = 1; // Negative powers
}

else if(%j != 0)
{
return false; // Negative not the first character
}

continue;
}

if(%c $= ".")
{
if(%dot || %j == 0)
{
return false; // Multiple periods or nothing before the period
}

else
{
%dot = 1;
}

continue;
}

if(%c $= "e")
{
if(%sci != 0)
{
return false; // Multiple Es present
}

else
{
%sci = -1;
}

continue;
}

if(%c $= "+")
{
if(%sci != -1)
{
return false; // + is not part of e+ scientific notation
}

else
{
%sci = 1;
}

continue;
}

if(%sci == -1 || strPos("0123456789", %c) == -1)
{
return false; // An E was present without a + or the current character is not a number
}
}

if(%sci == -1)
{
return false; // Last character was an E.
}

return true; // Gamut has been run, nothing returned, ergo it is fine
}
}

I ran into trouble trying to sort things with SimSets. I guess that Blockland doesn't come with functions like sort() and reorderChild()?
Anyway, I found a sort function and scripted one for reorderChild(), here:  http://pastebin.com/FGjJvSwv

The link was there earlier. What happened?

Is this good?

Object positioning (See or get an object from a position)

Useful for checking objects in a position using a special typemask (if needed to), such as grapple ropes (So they don't hook into space)

Cool, thanks Greek, added.

If you're referring to TorqueScript, it's really an incredibly simple language compared to say, C++.

Could someone make a getWeekOfMonth() or getWeekOfYear() function for me please?

[Lugnut]

I've been using this library quite frequently. It's pretty simple, but damn useful.
Mold made it, I added the getRandomItemFromList function.

Code: [Select]

// --- List Support functions. Ask Mold, I don't know.
// - Todo: Comment this. It's a very useful resource.
// Originally by Mold
// Modified by Lugnut

//List functions found in Event_Minigame

function addItemToList(%string, %item)
{
if(hasItemOnList(%string, %item))
return %string;

if(%string $= "")
return %item;
else
return %string SPC %item;
}

function hasItemOnList(%string,  %item)
{
for(%i=0;%i<getWordCount(%string);%i++)
{
if(getWord(%string, %i) $= %item)
return 1;
}
return 0;
}

function removeItemFromList(%string, %item)
{
if(!hasItemOnList(%string, %item))
return %string;

for(%i=0;%i<getWordCount(%string);%i++)
{
if(getWord(%string, %i) $= %item)
{
if(%i $= 0)
return getWords(%string, 1, getWordCount(%string));
else if(%i $= getWordCount(%string)-1)
return getWords(%string, 0, %i-1);
else
return getWords(%string, 0, %i-1) SPC getWords(%string, %i+1, getWordCount(%string));
}
}
}

function getRandomItemFromList(%string)
{
if(%string $= "")
return false;

%num = getRandom(0, getWordCount(%string));

return getWord(%string, %num);
}

Could someone make a getWeekOfMonth() or getWeekOfYear() function for me please?

Day of month modulo 7?
Day of year modulo 7?
It's that simple... I think.

Thanks. I works. I found a function to get the day of the month, but not the day of the year. I only needed one or the other though.

Code: [Select]

function getWeekOfMonth()
{
return getWord(getCompileTimeString(), 1) % 7;
}


[Ipquarx]

Ehm, I'm pretty sure getCompileTimeString() returns the time of compilation of the current build, not the current time.
