I'm drawing a blank (and incorrect results)
|
I'm working on a script that is supposed to automate a turn order for a game. However, it's kind of complex the way I have to do it. I start out with dice rolls, and then I sort those dice rolls. For further scripting purposes, I have to number their position. Maybe the code below will give some idea of what I need done.
After the initial dice rolls, my database stands like this:
PlayerA | 34
PlayerB | 42
PlayerC | 12
PlayerD | 59
PlayerE | 2
PlayerF | 80
After I sort the values, they are placed in proper order, in this case: PlayerE, PlayerC, PlayerA, PlayerB, PlayerD, PlayerF. What I need for it to do is take that turn order, and put their numerical position behind it, so it reads as follows:
PlayerE | 1
PlayerC | 2
PlayerA | 3
PlayerB | 4
PlayerD | 5
PlayerF | 6
I tried it with #loop 1,%numitems(@players) {#FORALL @players {#addkey turnorder %j %i}} and #forall @players {#loop 1,%numitems(@players) {#addkey turnorder %i %j}}, neither which produce the result I want. Does anyone have a suggestion for this? Thanks!

Right - I've been using the sort for it, but it still doesn't change the values. It'll sort them in the order I want them to appear, but I need the values to be reset to a succession of numbers, i.e. PlayerA=23|PlayerB=28|PlayerC=44|PlayerD=62|PlayerE=78 needs to return PlayerA=1|PlayerB=2|PlayerC=3|PlayerD=4|PlayerE=5...
By the way, using what you suggested didn't work... this is what it returned:
| Code: |
#VARIABLE sortvar 35=Josh|50=Homer|45=Chris|99=Rezit|47=Barney|23=Skippy
#VARIABLE sortvar yppikS 32 yenraB 74 tizeR 99 sirhC 54 remoH 05 hsoJ 53
|
As you can see, still not quite what I need. :P

First of all it looks like you didnt use the entire alias that i had written
It looks like you skipped a line or so because you the names are still going the wrong way.
Anyways lets see if we can do better.
| Code: |
#CLASS {DBNumericValSortB}
#ALIAS SortByVal {
#var insort {}
#var postsort {}
#var insort %sort( %exec( "#loopdb %0 {#var insort %additem(%concat(%replace(%format('&7.f',%val),' ','0'),'=',%key),@insort)};@insort"))
#var insort %subchar( @insort, "=|", %concat( %char( 30), %char( 29)))
#var ndex 0
#loopdb @insort {
#add ndex 1
#var postsort %addkey( @postsort, %val, @ndex)
}
}
#VAR postsort {} {}
#VAR ndex {}
#VAR insort {} {}
#CLASS 0
|
If you have a db variable named presort with the values you specified above:
PlayerA | 34
PlayerB | 42
PlayerC | 12
PlayerD | 59
PlayerE | 2
PlayerF | 80
SortByVal @presort
#showdb @postsort
Should show you this:
PlayerE: 1
PlayerC: 2
PlayerA: 3
PlayerB: 4
PlayerD: 5
PlayerF: 6
Thats what you wanted, no?
You said you were using a database variable, but if you want to use a string list and get the PlayerE=1 format
the #loopdb at the end could be changed to this
| Code: |
#loopdb @insort {
#add ndex 1
#var postsort %concat(@postsort,"|",%val,"=", @ndex))
} |
or something like that anyways. I didnt test the last code block |

AWESOME. You're my new hero, Dharkael. This is exactly what I was looking for.
Also... I copied everything into the alias for the last one. :\ Copy/paste from the forums, but it didn't work still. :\
