It worked!! Thank you so much!!

And besides that, you finally made me understand the 'for' loop function!

A bg thank you for your interesting reply!

But I don't understand 'loopy' or 'loopx'? Can I find those expressions anywhere? I do know 'loopindex' but nog loopy or loopx...

-> correction: loopx and loopy are just the names you have given?

thanks!

Hello

I'm here a again with a new question to search & use data from an array.

If my array looks like this:

y0 = 'Name1' 'Name2' 'Name3'

y1= 'Interest1' 'Interest4' 'Interest2'

y2= 'Interest2' 'Interest5' 'Interest5'

y3= 'Interest3' 'Interest1' 'Interest6'

It's easy to return every interest of a certain name in a text, but is there somebody who can help me with the code to return every name that has the same interest? For example 'Interest1' = 'Name1' & 'Name2'

Thank in advance for every tip you can give me!

Thank you a lot Plinkie, for the extra tip!!

Thanks a lot for your reply!

So how can I do this correctly? Are those 2 conditions or 1?

What I understand from your answer is

• using 'for' condition & using compare size array? But I seems like I'm not using it properly...

Hello everyone

I have a small question about using arrays.

Is there a way to use elements (values) of certain axe-values in a condition?

For example all the y-elements at x=3 or all the y-elements except those on x=0?

Is there an alternative for 'for each element'?

Thanks in advance!

It worked!! wauw!

Thank you so much Stan.

In a couple of months, we're maybe going to need a man like you for bigger questions.

I've seen your post about working with you as a freelancer, since we've some money for a freelancer for our project, I'll keep in touch!

greetz and thank you

Hey I've tried a lot but I can't seem to find a way to write a event using the array for this function:

The Array is orderd as following:

X = Name1, Name2, Name3

Y1= Spec1, Spec2, Spec 3

Y2 = Spec 4, Spec5, Spec6

Function:

Textobject1 chooses randomly one of the three name. (that's no problem afcourse)

In 2 instances of the same textobject2 I want to display the specs that are listed under the name that has been chosen and displayed in the first textobject1 (using a small loop for textobject2)

If there is a golden event tip for this one, it would save a headache!

Thank you so much for the 2 tips!

I was trying out the way with the array but using dicitionary seems more logic for this one!

(I didn't know we could use CSV in it)

Hey guys, didn't find a better description for the subject.

Maybe this is a easy question for Construct users who have experience with storing data

What I would like to do is the following:

I have 28 characters (names) and 12 possible 'specs' (words).

Each character has 4 of these possible 'specs'.

I would like to use these 2 data rows in both ways:

• getting every spec of a character
• getting every character sharing the same spec.

How can I do this in the most efficient way?

I presume I have to use an array? What are the events look like for both functions?

If someone can put me on the right track with some advice, I could find the rest.

Thanks in advance!

Yes! It's working!!

I've done it just with the repeat-condition (without variable) and I managed to use this loopindex code! Since my objects had to be at certain imagepoints of another sprite, I tried this one for Y-position:

Sprite.imagepointY((1)+(loopindex+1)))

So with creating following instances, it will pick next imagepoint.

Wow, I could not have done this without your examples! I've learned now how I can use this loopindex

Thank you very very much! and everyone else who gave me advice!!

Thank you everyone for your help and responses!

I never used the loopindex before, it seems like something I need in this case

but what I still don't understand, is how I can make a reference to a certain position of the first object in the lay out?

So the position of the first instance of the object is fixed at X,Y

The following instance is Y+75, the third is at Y + 75 + 75 and so on..

thanks anyway!
