Array of Gui Buttons.

[Toxen]

Hi, I am currently trying to make a GUI based inventory system, and for some reason using a loop will not work.

i is the column count I could say, after 8 it should become 0 and j which is the row number should be added to 1.

Anyone have any ideas?

PHP Code:

     this.count = 0;
     this.i = 0;
     this.j = 0;
      while (this.count < this.weplist.size) {//weplist.size does have a value
        new GuiButtonCtrl("inv_obj_" @ this.count) {
          profile = GuiBlueButtonProfile;         
          x = i *((parent.width-20)/8); 
          y = j *((parent.height-20) / ( int(this.weplist.size) ) );  
          width = ((parent.width-40)/8);
          height = ((parent.width-40)/8);
          text = this.weplist[this.count];
        }
         this.count++;
         this.i++;
         if (this.i>8) {//I put 8 Items on each row so after it adds to row#
          this.j++;
         this.i=0;
        }
        
       }

this.j isn't accessible to the child in the parent object, change your variables to temp ones and you'll be able to access them.

PHP Code:

new GuiControl("container") {
  this.j = 5;
  temp.k = 6;
  new GuiButtonCtrl("button") {
    echo(this.name);  // echos "button"
    echo(this.j + 1); // echos 1
    echo(parent.j);   // echos 5
    echo(temp.k);     // echos 6
  }
}

I believe thiso.j should work and/or container.j should work as well

Thanks for the help on that question , but now kinda another problem and it seems so easy but I cant figure it out.

the name of my gui controls are "Ron_TD_EnemyImage_ 0-14" and I created them all at the same time using a loop, I also need to move them all at the same time using a loop but the problem is I've tried like

PHP Code:

 for (i=0; i<15; i++){
   (Ron_TD_EnemyImage @"_"@ i).bleh();
 }

//Or i've tried

 for (i=0; i<15; i++){
  (Ron_TD_EnemyImage @ i).bleh();//Aswell as putting an @ before the Ron
 } 


But i cant get the control name to work !

Anyone got any ideas? Please and thank u!

Take your pick:

PHP Code:

// Makevar
temp.obj = makevar("Ron_TD_EnemyImage" @ i);
temp.obj.bleh();

// Directly
temp.obj = (@"Ron_TD_EnemyImage" @ i);
temp.obj.bleh();

// Without using a variable
(@"Ron_TD_EnemyImage" @ i).bleh(); 


When you use a variable you can then use with to change variables directly as well. I.e:

PHP Code:

temp.obj = (@"Ron_TD_EnemyImage" @ i);
with (temp.obj) {  // with ((@"Ron_TD_EnemyImage" @ i)) { // should work as well.
  this.x += 10;
  this.y += 10;
}

It's generally preferred not to use makevar.
