[SCRIPT] How to search an array?

[Cyfiawn]

Hello,

I'm wondering how you can search an array for a certain value. I have declared my array: int[] bl(4,20);

I want to then set each array to a random, unique value, like so:

PHP Code: (Select All)

for(int i = 0; i < 3; i++)    
{    
 //set "bl[i]" to a random number between 0 and 7    
   bl[i] = RandInt(0, 7);     
//if another value in the array is already set to this number, re-randomise until it is unique.    
   while(bl[i] == !!!Search array for the same value!!!)    
   {
       bl[i] = RandInt(0, 7); 
   }
} 


Any ideas what I need to put in to search my array?

Also, it would need to not include itself in the search (ie. if i = 2, it needs to ignore bl[2] in the search and only include bl[0], bl[1] and bl[3].

I see on the AngelScript documentation it has "find(syntax)", but I'm unsure how to use it.

I have a kind of "hacky" solution. It works, but I'm sure there is a better way. I'll use this for now, unless anyone can come up with some cleaner code.

Also, copy and pasting code from Notepad++ loses its formatting on this forum...kinda annoying. >_>

PHP Code: (Select All)

    for(int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
    {
bl[i] = RandInt(0, 7);
if(i == 1)
{
while(bl[i] == bl[0])
{
bl[i] = RandInt(0, 7);
}
}
if(i == 2)
{
while(bl[i] == bl[0] || bl[i] == bl[1])
{
bl[i] = RandInt(0, 7);
}
}
if(i == 3)
{
while(bl[i] == bl[0] || bl[i] == bl[1] || bl[i] == bl[2])
{
bl[i] = RandInt(0, 7);
}
}
