Alterable Value choices

[RobTheBuilder]

Hi all,

Is there any way of choosing an object based on which has the highest alterable value (e.g.:a)??

I cannot get it to choose one object at a time in this way.

What I need:


Every 0.01 seconds
Select object from "group" with the highest value a

If anyone can help before I throw my PC out of the window id really appreciate it <img src="/center/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Oh dear, that's another of Burkey's most useful extensions that isn't converted for MMF2 <img src="/center/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

However, you can still do this the long way:

Thanks, thats useful; though I cant get it to work in the right way on this game...

Perhaps:

Compare two general values

Alterable Value A("the object") &gt; Alterable Value A("the object")

Spread an alterable value in the group, then do a fast loop that checks each one individually. Keep track of the highest value A you've found (using a global value or an array or whatever), and each time you find an object with a value A that's higher, you take it's fixed value (likewise storing it globally), overwriting the last one you found.

Something like this:

+ Condition Whatever
Spread alterable value B in "Group"
Run fast loop "CheckObjects" Num("Group") Times

+ On loop "CheckObjects"
+ Alterable Value B("Group") = LoopIndex
+ Alterable Value A("Group") &gt; Global Value A
Global Value B = Fixed Value("Group")
Global Value A = Alterable Value A("Group")

This should set Global B to the fixed value of whichever object has the highest Alterable Value A.

I believe this is the easiest way:

I assume all the related objects share the same behavior

* every 0.01:
: Set Counter1 to maxPossibleValue
: Start loop "check" maxPossibleValues times

* On loop "check"
+ pick objects with alterable value = counter1
+ pick one of group1
: set counter1 to -1
: destroy group1 (or some other action like set a flag)

* on loop "check"
: subtract 1 from counter1

maxPossibleValue is like the names tells, the highest value an object can have.
