writing to an npc flag from class?

[gaben]

i've done it before, but for some reason it just won't work properly

npc vardump:

PHP Code:

Variables dump from npc boolean

boolean.type: SYSTEM
boolean.scripter: boolean
boolean.level: onlinestartlocal.nw

Attributes:
boolean.image: 
boolean.script: size: 0
boolean.visibility flags: visible
boolean.id: 1014
boolean.sprite: 2
boolean.head: 
boolean.xprecise: 0
boolean.yprecise: 0

this.-Flags
boolean.vote=12 


class:

PHP Code:

function onCreated(){
  boolean.vote[0] = 1;
  sendtonc(boolean.vote[0]); // outputs 12 instead of 1
} 


help is appreciated

  sendtonc(boolean.vote[0]); // outputs 12 instead of 1
} 


To write "vote[0]", vote would need to be initialized as an array first, such as:

PHP Code:

//boolean.vote = new[array size];
boolean.vote = new[2]; 


or

PHP Code:

boolean.vote = {NULL, NULL};

For whatever reason I'm having trouble just adding to the array.

PHP Code:

function onPlayerChats(){
  if(player.chat == "/b"){
   boolean.vote = new[boolean.vote.size() + 1]; 
   boolean.vote[this.boolean.vote.size() + 1] = 45;
   player.chat = boolean.vote[boolean.vote.size()];
  }
} 


Will return 45 once, the other values are NULL. Other than that, it works quite nicely.

The new[] keyword will create a completely new array. You can't expand existing arrays with it. Also, you should use the array size minus one when assigning something to the last index/field, since it starts at 0.

Not sure if it's necessary, but I always create arrays with a dynamic size like this:

PHP Code:

temp.array = {};
temp.array = new[]; // I believe this is also possible 


You're also missing some this. prefixes in your code (that, or you got one where you don't want one).

[gaben]

Haha, yeah. I'll try that.

[gaben]

PHP Code:

  boolean.vote = {player.account};
  player.chat = boolean.vote[boolean.vote.size() - 1]; 


How would I make boolean.vote = {}; expand?

[Crow]

You can use temp.array.add(element).

ok cool
