[SCRIPT] String reference within constant name (Advanced)

[Daemian]

If I understand correctly your scenario, you just want an action, like remove an item,
if a variable, like x1y1 is set true, and matches with the item's number stored in its name.

I just tested and this is how it worked for me:

PHP Code: (Select All)

//public arrays x and y, size 10, false by default.
    bool[] x (10, false);
    bool[] y (10, false);

void RemoveAnItem ( string &in asItem )
{
    string strIndex = StringSub( asItem, 4, 10 );
    int iIndex = GetIndex( strIndex );
    
    if (x[iIndex] and y[iIndex]) { RemoveItem( asItem ) }
} 


I'm sure you understand what that function is doing, you're even gonna improve it. Btw, you need this function I just did:

PHP Code: (Select All)

int GetIndex ( string &in strIndex )
{
    int aiMax = 10;
    for (int i=0;i<aiMax;i++) {
        if ("a"+i == "a"+strIndex) { return i;}
    }
    return 0;
} 


So, if you pass RemoveItem("item5"), the function checks x[5] and y[5], if both are true, item5 is removed.

I don't know how you planned to change these variables named x2y3, etc, but it's the same way for x[] and y[].

Am I missing something? Oh the variables are all set to check to 10, you may want to change that.
