%arrget not working...
|
Why will this not work?
#SH %arrget( tickedoffmonster, 3)
Where tickedoffmonster is a predefined array of strings. |

What happens when you try the following?
#SHOW %arrhigh(tickedoffmonster) |

#SH %random( 1, %numitems( @tickedoffmonster))
#SH %arrget( %array( tickedoffmonster), 3)
#SHOW %arrhigh( tickedoffmonster)
#SHOWARR @tickedoffmonster
1. Works correctly
2. Nothing
3. Nothing
4. @tickedoffmonster not an array
Now tickedoffmonster is simply a var that has already been setup. It is not defined in the trigger..
Thanks for the help |

Your variable probably isn't an array. You didn't think we needed to see it, so there's no way to be sure, but if it was an array then %arrhigh should have given you a number. Unlike you, I've provided an actual example of the variable I used for testing, which is an array.
You also made several mistakes in your use of the array functions and commands.
#VAR tickedoffmonster {%array( rabbit, squirrel, deer, snake, fox)}
#SH %random( 1, %numitems( @tickedoffmonster))
1
#SH %numitems( @tickedoffmonster)
1
#SH %arrget( %array( tickedoffmonster), 3)
Blank line
#SH %arrget( tickedoffmonster, 3)
snake
#SHOW %arrhigh( tickedoffmonster)
4
#SHOWARR @tickedoffmonster
@tickedoffmonster not an array
#SHOWARR tickedoffmonster
Array tickedoffmonster = 0:"rabbit", 1:"squirrel", 2:"deer", 3:"snake", 4:"fox" |

Yes, those were probally messed up since I tried many things to make it work properly.
The problem was the varaible was defined as a string list rather then an array. Although though the GUI made it look like an array.
Is there a way through the GUI to make sure an array is defined rather then a string list or you just need to enter it through the command line? |

Arrays are meant to be created/assigned only with the variable command.

array
Syntax: %array(values)
return an array filled with values. Only the #VAR command can store an array. |
No provision is made for making arrays through the Settings Editor. They must be made through the command line or scripts which use the #VAR command. |
