[partly solved] How do I do some kind of a timestamp/news

Hi,

I'm not sure how to do this (a reason could be that I'm not an expert in Arrays). I also searched in the forum, but I didn't found anything similar. Maybe somebody can give me a hint.

1. Step

My program makes every specific time period a calculation and gives a result.

These results should be saved in an array with a timestamp. That means take the results, add a new y-line in array, put the result in and save it with the game-time. (e.g. time: 123 - result1: 12 - result2: 343 - result3: 1253)

2. Step

The results won't be shown everytime when the calculation is made.

There is an icon which opens a pop up and shows the first array result. The player confirms and the next will be shown, until there is no one. The results/news which the player confirmed will be deleted, so it won't show again.

I'll try to do this, but maybe somebody has an idea.

many thx

Are you asking how to do all this or just the time stamp ? If it's just the timestamp then look at wallclocktime or there is a plugin that makes handling time easier (see plugin section)

the timestamp is not really the problem. it's the array which gives me headache.

insert it, show it and delete it... sounds easy, but somewhere I make a mistake.

I will retry it and if it works I will post it

I don't do much with arrays. This might give you an idea on how to proceed

ok, small steps.. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

I made a small example, where a new line will be added and values will be saved.

ok, I have a small problem:

When I first time add a new line, 2 were added: 0 - 0 - 0 and e.g. 2-12-13. After that it works just fine and add every time just one line.

So i tried to set the size (set size weight 3, height 1, deep 0), but then it enters 0-0-0.

Has anybody experience with my problem?
