asking again... still struggerling! Alterables...

[Gibbon]

ill explain again, all i am trying to achive is to allways check a list to see if any of the lines are "1" if so, and say it is line 3 then object with an alterable value 3 should move or anything!that bit is irrelevant at the mo, it just cant work out, the problem is, i need it to happen all the time, so like i could do it so it simly checks line 1, if it is 1 then object with AV1 do something, but the number objects at runtime changes eveytime time, so that means i cant code it to do that everytime! AND then when it goes to the next line, so its checking line 2, that means its not checking line 1 no more... so it will stop that action from line 1?

Firstly does anyone understand me?
Secondy does anyone know how to help me?
Cheers

I nearly understand you. I think you should use fast loops.

Tell it to always run the loop, and when it asks you how many times it should run then you should say the number of items in the list box. When the loop is triggered you can compare the object's alterable value against the value of the list box at the list index's position.

[Gibbon]

yea, that does sound promising, but (and this maybe down to my lack of knowledge about alterables) isnt hat just checking to see if alterable value A = line number at loop index? in which case it would be either "" or 1, so any actions will only be made to objcts with AV = 1?

It sounds correct only i need it so does that it checks the list like that and if the list line = 1, then does actions for alterables number of the lines that are 1?

Your not checking against the line number, your checking against the contents of the relevant line. The "relevant line" being the one which corresponds to the loop index.

Edit: Heh, my postcount is "1337".

[Gibbon]

yes but the contents then would ither be 1 or "" and therefore the actions would only be set for objects with an olterable val of 1? or am i wrong?
Gib

[Joshtek]

The 1 or "" stuff would depend on the contents if your list box.

[Gibbon]

i know...and they will be either 1 or "" like a flag.. so..basically, EXAMPLE: it checks if there is 4 alterble objects, there should be 4 lines in the list, it then checks that list to see if any are 1 or "" if any of the lines are 1 then it does an action to the object with the alterable value of the line number that is 1.

Gib

[Joshtek]

So you want to treat the list box as an array?

[Gibbon]

yea sorry thats what i mean, i want it to check if the contents of the line number is 1, if it is, do action to object with alterable val of line number which contains 1.. but also bareing in mind, i need this action happeneing all the time... and there is never a set amount of objects at runtime.
i am sure theres a way... im determind there is!
