It might be because you've put the string variable Target_exit in quotations. This means construct is looking for a layout called "Target_exit", instead of what the variable Target_exit represents.

Try writing Go to layout -> Target_exit without the quotation marks.

Hey, I think you're right! That would explain why overwriting works, but not deleting.

It didn't even cross my mind. So to clear an array of certain entries, you can't write:

----

Array -> For each X element

Array -> If value at CurX = 1 ... Delete index CurX from X axis

----

because the element index number is out of sync with the entries?

I suppose you'd have to use loops and a variable that keeps up with the deleting of entries?

I've noticed in my code that deleting array entries doesn't always seem to work.

Since I'm new-ish to arrays, I didn't want to assume this is a bug. If anyone has a moment to test this, I've attached a file that reproduces the problem.

It creates an array of random numbers (0-1). Then it scans the array for entries with the number 1, and deletes them. But it only deletes a few (it should delete them all), so it makes another scan, and deletes a few more (again, should delete them all).

If you open the console you can see the results. Refreshing it a few times shows the inconsistency

Note: There's an option in here to overwrite the array entry, instead of deleting it. Overwriting the entries works every time, but deleting the entry is inconsistent.

Thanks for any insight!

Ah sorry! I missed your topic when I was looking around.

It does seem unnecessary. I'm not sure the fear of clogged-up function lists is worth taking away flexibility or imposing a coding style.
