  • Hello I've written the following script: 

    	var careerIndices = [];

var randomCareers = [];
var randomCareersForPortraits = [];
var randomCareersForCareerImages = [];

var portraitIndices = [];
var careerImagesIndices = [];



function intializeCareerIndices (runtime) {

	for (var i = 0; i < runtime.globalVars.gNumberOfCareers; i++) {
		careerIndices.push(i);
	}

	for (var i = 0; i < runtime.globalVars.gNumberOfCharacters; i++){
		
		var index = Math.floor(Math.random() * careerIndices.length);
		
		var roll = careerIndices.splice(index,1);
		
		randomCareers.push (roll [0]);
	}
	
	randomCareersForPortraits = randomCareers;
	randomCareersForCareerImages = randomCareers;
	
	console.log (careerIndices);
}


function initializeImagesIndices (runtime) {


	for (var i = 0; i < runtime.globalVars.gNumberOfCharacters; i++){
		
		var index = Math.floor(Math.random() * randomCareersForPortraits.length);
		
		var roll = randomCareersForPortraits.splice(index,1);
		
		portraitIndices.push (roll [0]);
		
		index = Math.floor(Math.random() * randomCareersForCareerImages.length);
		
		roll = randomCareersForCareerImages.splice(index,1);
		
		careerImagesIndices.push (roll [0]);
	}
}

    The NumberOfCareers is 15 but the careerIndices array has a length of 11 for some reason even if I explicitly define it as careerIndex = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14]. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

  • Hello,

    when do you call your "intializeCareerIndices()" function?

    I created a global variable "Test=15" in an event sheet and call this code and it returns 15 as it should do: 

    async function OnBeforeProjectStart(runtime)
{
	
	runtime.addEventListener("tick", () => Tick(runtime));
	
	var careerIndices = [];
	for (var i = 0; i < runtime.globalVars.Test; i++) {
		careerIndices.push(i);
	}
	console.log(careerIndices.length);
}
