[closed] Need Help for $side_number, or maybe variable

[Soshen_]

I have an issue with this code, i know my mistake. So I explain what goes wrong, I want to save the name of the cloak in a variable with the name "sideX_cape" where X is the $side_number. I custom a MOBA-like add-ons, so each side control only 1 leader and can't recruit. If you have an alternative it would be great. If we can buy an item multiple times (or take different items of the same type) it's not good for me.

I've tried with side1_cape instead and it's work, but just for the first player /:

And just for precision, I've start WML just 48h ago and a thing like 16h on code, so maybe I do a newbie mistake xD (surely)

Thanks for you're help and sorry for my english if I've do mistakes ^^"

Code: Select all

It sounds to me like you're ready to learn about arrays. I can't find a good intro link, maybe someone else will know where to start. I think you'll want to start with something like this:

Code: Select all

{VARIABLE cape[$side] _"Cape des Veilleurs"}  # the cape for side $side

and then work your way up to

Code: Select all

{VARIABLE cape[$side][$number] _"Cape des Veilleurs"}  # each side can have multiple capes, this is cape number $number for side $side

and eventually something like

Code: Select all

{VARIABLE items[$side].capes[$number].name _"Cape des Veilleurs"} # This will make sense later

I'm probably wrong about where you'll end up, but work on the first example to start.

[Ravana]

First examples are wrong, you cant store data in tag without key, so should be
{VARIABLE cape[$side].x_"Cape des Veilleurs"} # the cape for side $side
{VARIABLE cape[$side].x[$number].y _"Cape des Veilleurs"} # each side can have multiple capes, this is cape number $number for side $side

OMG Thanks a lot !!
Where can I find this answer in the wiki.doc ? I've search, but not found this anywhere.
I think I can learn some other things at the same place

I've already use array in javascript and php but array in WML look a lot different to me, so I've try to avoid it in my code.

But it's obviously more optimized for sure, less code and less répétitions. I need to practice, do you know a simple mod using a lot of array ? I learn better when I just decypher what things do and then try to custom for test.

[Soshen_]

When you say than array need a key it's like array in wml are by default a multiple array ?

[Soshen_]

Do you know if there's a french community in WML ?

[Ravana]

https://wiki.wesnoth.org/VariablesWML#V ... bstitution

WML array is WML, so array with 2 elements can look like
[a]
b=c
[/a]
[a]
b=d
[/a]

WML does not let you create
[a]
c
[/a]
[a]
d
[/a]

Therefore it is $a[1].b to get d, not $a[1].

[Soshen_]

Ok so i can make i thing like this for store players items ?

[equipped.stuffs] # Leader Side 1
helmet=iron
torso=iron
legs=iron
boots=iron
cape=iron
hand=leather
[equipped.stuffs/] # Leader Side 2
helmet=""
torso=""
legs=""
boots=iron
cape=coat
hand=leather
[equipped.stuffs/] .... to Leader 6

And call gear value with $equipped.stuffs[1].helmet to get (or set) the value ?

Because if it's correct. I Think I'm on the way to not sleep toonight and refactor my Add-Ons xD

[Ravana]

Without .stuffs

In general idea looks good, check [set_variables] for easier way how to create arrays of wml objects.
