embedded arrays

[Ladios]

Quick question.
Does anyone have experience getting embedded arrays to work?
I can't find a good example of them in published mods which is disconcerting as they seem to be the easiest way for me to do all the type checks I'm doing without spamming datablocks.

Any tips?

Use script groups and script objects. This should work as long as you are organized to prevent memory leaks.

Edit: Here's an example, it is untested but you should get the idea:

new scriptGroup(cars);

new scriptObject(bmw)
{
   Name = "BMW";
   Speed = 120;
   Doors = 4;
};

new scriptObject(Honda)
{
   Name = "HONDA";
   Speed = 100;
   Doors = 2;
};

cars.add(bmw);
cars.add(Honda);

echo(cars.getObject(0).name);

What exactly do you mean "embedded" arrays?

[$trinick]

I almost didn't recognize you without your crab avatar. Wtf, how could you change that?


I'm not sure what you mean by an embedded array. What is it embedded in? An object?

Code: [Select]

%obj = new scriptObject();
%obj.array[0] = 0;
%obj.array[1] = 1;
%obj.array[2] = 2;

That 'embeds' an array into an object. Or did you mean what elm said with a script group?

is there an easy way to delete an unused script object and its componants?

[Wrapperup]

%object.delete();

[$trinick]

For its constituents you'll have to loop through and delete them (and, possibly, their own constituents) manually.

Code: [Select]

package mySODelete {
    function mySO::delete(%this) {
        for(%i = 0; isObject(%this.subObject[%i]); %i++)
            %this.subObject[%i].delete();
        parent::delete(%this);
    }
};
activatePackage(mySODelete);

For ScriptGroups, just call ScriptGroup::deleteAll() and ScriptGroup::delete().

So it's not possible to create two-dimensional arrays in Torquescript?

Yes it is.

$blah[1,2] = "apples";

Scroll all the way down.

$What["the", "forget", "am", "I"] = "doing?";

You can make arrays of any dimension you'd like

Keep in mind when using that: Having an underscore in the values can cause unexpected behavior.
