Deleting 'player.' objects

[[email protected]]

So, I'm storing items as

  player.items.(id).(flag) = value;

Now, I'm wanting to delete the items from the player.items list

  player.items.(@ temp.id).clearvars();
  player.items.(@ temp.id).clearemptyvars();
  player.items.(@ temp.id) = "";

Works fine, it clears all the sub flags of the object. Yay! However...

However, when I'm reading the objects var names, it's still showing the item ID in the list

  player.items.getdynamicvarnames();

I thought using this

  player.items.(@ temp.id) = "";

Would fix this, but it's not. Any ideas? thanks

I actually had a similar problem yesterday but Tig helped me out.

Try setting it to "" first, and then doing clearemptyvars();

PHP Code:

player.items.(@ temp.id) = "";
player.items.clearemptyvars(); 


Also, I think in your case you should make sure the .clearemptyvars() is being called on the player.items object not the player.items.(@ temp.id) object.

Works a charm- you rock! Thanks =D

You can also do:

player.items.(@ temp.id) = new TStaticVar();
player.items.(@ temp.id).destroy();

Deletes the variable and all it's sub variables right there on the spot. You might have to do the player.items.(@ temp.id) = new TStaticVar(); before you add any subvariables to it though (which I always find is a good idea anyways if you are ever wanting to delete a mass of subvariables ever like so.

I find the whole idea of Graal having subvariables like this.blah.blah2 without this.blah being an object is ridiculous and I avoid it at all cost.

I also think it is rather odd, but I do not avoid it as you do. I wish Graal fully supported objects (similar to Java's implementation). Inheritance would be very useful.
