Variables

[Saga2001]

good definition of arrays, read it, and i am sure u'll undertstand.

NPC Code:

---

// to make an array do this:

// setarray arrayname,size;

// as in this example:

setarray this.values,10;

/*

to set values in an array do this:

arrayname[indexnumber] = value;

the first index in every array is 0.

so if you have an array that you set to size 100

than its 0-99.

as in this example:

*/

this.values[0] = 1;

this.values[9] = 5;

/*

that is the hard way to do it though,

this is easier:

*/

this.values = {1,0,0,0,1,2,3};

/*

that will set an array with 7 values (0-6)

and can be called as so:

*/

this.newnumber = this.values[5];

/*

Meaning that this.newnumber would equal 2

*/

Mostly with big arrays you put them thru a for loop,

like in this rain example:

*/

// Rain script:

if (created) {

setarray this.rainx,100;

setarray this.rainy,100;

 for (i=0;i<arraylen(this.rainx);i++;) {

/* arraylen(arrayname)  <-- gives you the amount of indexes in the array.*/

  this.rainx[i] = random(0,64);

  this.rainy[i] = random(0,64);

 }

}

if (playerenters||timeout) {

 for (i=0;i<arraylen(this.rainx);i++;) {

// Shows rain:

showimg i+500,@.,this.rainx[i],this.rainy;

// Puts the rain above the player:

changeimgvis i+500,3;

// If the rain reaches the end of the screen it will repeat:

this.rainx[i]+=(this.rainx[i]>64 ? -64 : 0);

this.rainy[i]+=(this.rainy[i]>64 ? -64 : 0);

/*

if this:

this.rainx[i]+=(this.rainx[i]>64 ? -64 : 0);

looks weird, what it is, is a condition, if you look, the syntax is this:

(condition ? a : b)

if the condition is true than it goes to a otherwise it goes to b.

If it doesn't make sence im me we can talk about it.

*/

 }

timeout=.05;

}
