#var var %null
#additem var {%item( @randomlist, %random( 1, 29))}
#additem var {%item( @randomlist, %random( 1, 29))}
#additem var {%item( @randomlist, %random( 1, 29))}
#show ~{~{ Pulled ~}~}
#wait 30
#show ~{~{ @var.1 ~}~}
#wait 30
#show ~{~{ @var.2 ~}~}
#wait 30
#show ~{~{ @var.3 ~}~}
Randomlist has 29 objects.. but every now and then the variable shows up empty.. why? |

Just a guess, but would it be that #ADDITEM does not add duplicates?

Yes #ADDITEM does not add duplicate entries %additem does.
#VAR var {%additem(%item( @randomlist, %random( 1, 29)),@var)} |

#ADDITEM does not, however, blank out the list variable you are trying to add the duplicate item to. The subsequent use of the variable in the #SHOW command would still show the item.
My guess is that either the @var.# syntax or the use of #WAIT is the culprit, unless of course the poster has little grasp of the english language (which would be rather hard to believe given his posting.)
If it's the @var.# syntax, my guess is that the variable isn't really an array and ZMud is somehow defaulting to datarecord behavior. Since @var.1 doesn't exist, that would explain the blankness as such things would evaluate to null and null happens to be standardly unprintable (blank space). |
