Zugg Software :: View topic - function to order a set of values from lowest to highest

Posted: Mon Jun 16, 2008 5:07 pm

A trigger will call the function in something like this manner:
promptTStat=@orderfunc(4.5,1.3,2.4)

<func name="orderfunc" id="93">
<value>$x=%null
stuff
morestuff
ending up with:
$x={B: $b -- S: $s -- R: $r}
#RETURN {$x} </value>
<arglist>$r,$b,$s</arglist>
</func>

I want the function to return:
B: 1.3 -- S: 2.4 -- R: 4.5

So that the value of 'promptTStat' becomes exactly what the function returns. The function needs to sort the values of the three parameters passed to it in order of lowest to highest. I have a vague idea of lumping the three into a stringlist and using %sort, then extracting the sorted data from the list. I have this feeling I am missing something simpler though.

The order is the important thing. The final variable is going to be subbed into my prompt, and the purpose is for combat, where the exact values of the three numbers are going to escape my attention, but the order of them will still be useful.

Does anyone have any tips for me?

Oh bleh, just as I hit 'submit' I remembered what I was forgetting.

That being %max.
