Combining two variables!

Combining two variables! - 04/05/11 12:48

hi,

sorry I ask a lot of questions

This is the situation:

I hav several panels with these kind of names:

inventory_panel_1, inventory_panel_2, inventory_panel_3,...

I have a function and I want to make all these panels visible with just one while loop, like this:

Code:

function whatever ()
{
  while (x < y)
  {
    inventory_panel_x.visible=on;
    x+=1;
    wait(1);
  }

}

Is it possible (don't forget the above code does not work)?

You can save your panels in an array and later on iterate over that array. You can store the panels in a var array. You just have to temporarily assign them to a panel reference later on to set their visible flag.

I think the whole part

How can I assign panels to arrays?
In which way can change the visibility of panels (now arrays)?

I just cann't undrestand. please give me an example.

Well, you define a panel as usual. Then you define an array - as usual as well. My C-Script is a bit rusty, but it should be something like this:

Code:

var mypanels[10];

The you can assign your panels to the array.

Code:

mypanels[0] = my_first_panel;
mypanels[1] = my_second_panel;
// etc.

Finally you can read them out of the array.

Code:

PANEL* p;
p = mypanels[0];
p.visible = off;

Just put that last code fragment in a loop.
