Conditions within a loop?

[kons]

Hi,

I'm stuck in the following situation:

I got an array that contains information about the cards that are in the player's hand this round. It looks like this:

array_hand

card type	level	quantity
0	1	1
1	1	2
2	2	0
3	2	1

Next step is to create active objects (eqal to the sum of the quantity coloumn), give them the corresponding card type as an alterable value and sort them like that:

Layout within the frame

	1
0	1	2

The creation of all of the cards (actives) happens within a fastloop. However, I need an if-condition within that loop to skip the lines where quantity = 0 and to create more instances where quantity > 1.

I'm used to programming and skimmed through a lot of tutorials and forum posts already, but didn't manage to find an answer yet.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Regards,

kons

Hi and welcome! Create an On Loop condition in a new event. Then create a second condition and use the Compare two general values condition from the Special Conditions icon. Then rightclick the Array object and select Read Value from XY Position.

Suppose the loop is called loopY. Then the expression should be something like: ValueAtXY( "Array", loopindex("loopY"), 2) = 0

The event should now look like this:

* On loop: "loopY"
+ ValueAtXY( "Array", loopindex("loopY"), 2) = 0
- Do Actions

Important: Unselect Base 1 index in the Array Object properties in the frame editor. This will make the first index be 0 instead if 1. This makes it easier to work with since loopindexes starts with 0. Also make sure it is set to Number Array.

Dear Popccorn,

thanks for the fast reply! When I tried that yesterday, I wasn't able to insert a second condition to a "on loop" condition, thus my irritation. Obviously I made something wrong. I'll try that as soon as I get home.

Best regards,

Worked like a charm! I never used this Special Condition, although it's so basic and great!

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

No problem! Glad you worked it out!
