  • Hello Folks:

    I've been working on this for an hour - granted my little tots have been running rampant around the house, interrupting my thoughts. :-)

    This should be simple enough but I can't figure it out. I am a little embarrassed that I can't figure this out.

    I want the values in one array to be equal to the values in another array. The idea here is that I have an array that is the MASTER and then one I can manipulate without ruining the master.

    Please see my image of my screenshots. Thanks so much for any guidance.

    I know the # of elements in the _InPlay is 20 elements; that was just my troubleshooting.

  • Clarification: Image D is the result of when I try to use the .at(i) from Image A.

    When I use the action in Image B, the In Play array has 1 in all elements (again that was my test to see if I had issues with running the lines to begin with)

  • You confirm that the master array has data but the question is when does it have data? The values could be 0 in master when you are running that loop so it is copying 0 over to the other array. If image B works and adds 1 to your array which I expect it would then the issue is that the values in master array are 0 at the time you add them in image A.

  • I bow to you. You are correct.

    Makes total sense.

    I had my AJAX pulling the data in a different event sheet and the process did not finish before I tested the game layout. My event for the arrays was kicked off by START OF LAYOUT. I now use a button that is more practical.

    I will not much such a mistake again.

    Thank you, Plinkie.

  • Great! Glad it's resolved.
