Trick for In-Array Operator

[Admins]

You can check if an array is inside another array by converting the array to string first:

PHP Code:

  temp.arr = {{1,2},{3,4},{5,6}};
  echo("check1: " @ ((@{1,2}) in temp.arr));
  echo("check2: " @ temp.arr.index(@{3,4})); 


That might be useful for some optimizations.

Nifty. Does @{1,2,3} return a string like "1,2,3" ?

What about 2-Dimensional Arrays?
Does @{{1,2,3},{4,5,6},{7,8,9}} return ""1,2,3","4,5,6","7,8,9"" ?

Yes

Very nice!

Is there a way to check if only a part of an array is in the array? For example, serverr.staff is set like this:


serverr.staff="acc1,rank","acc2,rank"

I want to find out if acc1 is listed in the array, without doing a loop, is it possible?

I tried:

((@{"acc1",}) in serverr.staff)

Wich returned 0, but if I did:

((@{"acc1","rank"}) in serverr.staff)

it returned 1. But like I said, I only want to find out if "acc1" is listed, and not "rank".

Right now not

Yea, this would be a good example of where I'd want to use a struct. Stefan, so much of my scripting would be cleaner if you had structs in GS2. Instead I'm stuck using parallel arrays, and ugly use of makevar.

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  temp.blah = new TStaticVar();
  temp.blah.var1 = "hey";
  temp.blah.var2 = "look";
  temp.blah.var3 = "It's a struct!";
  CheckStruct(temp.blah);
}

function CheckStruct(structvar) {
  echo(structvar.var3);
}

You appear to be another one who has difficulty scripting inside the confines of the language.

Makevar sucks anyways. If you really need any special coding, make it yourself. Everyone else manages using GS2.

For small arrays (<200 members) it is probably not a problem to cycle through it, for bigger arrays it is sometimes necessary to optimize the use of arrays a little bit to use array.index() and similar, in case you have problems with the loop limit.

I only say something when the language limits its own potential. I don't really have difficulty scripting within the confines of gscript. Seriously, go investigate for yourself.

I do frown upon you though. Being a global, you're not being very good with PR, and you are in fact coming off as an elitist (tbh, nobody really likes elitists). Encourage others, don't look down on them.

I know you're a competent scripter, but I don't see any point in needing to add structs when you could probably do the job well enough with TStaticVars.
