Hi All,

After searching the forums for quite awhile, and completing the C-script workshop, I am unable to figure this out:

array[n].property = "some_value";

Is this possible? A multi-value array/hash object?

Here's an example:

inventory_slot[1].item = "Bug Juice";
inventory_slot[1].value = 225;
inventory_slot[1].quantity = 6;
inventory_slot[2].name = "Soiled Diaper";
inventory_slot[2].value = 9785;
...etc

I here's code that doesn't return errors, but is unusable:

var inv_slot[4];
inv_slot[0].name = "Sword";


I really appreciate any help or ideas on this.

Thank you all very much.

no, that is not possible so..but you can make an easy trick:
here if you have 3 attributes:

inventory_slot[3*number+item]=xxx;

so:
inventroy_slot[3*0+0]="Bug Juice";
inventroy_slot[3*0+1]=255;
inventroy_slot[3*0+2]=6;
inventroy_slot[3*1+0]="Soiled Diaper";
inventroy_slot[3*1+1]=9785;
etc...

btw: it starts by 0, but you can also start by one..makes no real different...

bummer...

Thank you very much for the reply.

I can see where that would get complicated, especially when removing and inserting items into the inventory.

Thanks again.

you can find it in the manual under vars - multidimensional arrays...

I don't think it's too bad. the algorithm is

[number_of_elements_in_a_row*current_row + element_number_in_current_row]

so, if you'd want to sort the rows, you simply have to move
[3*current_row + 0] and [3*current_row + 1] and [3*current_row + 2] in order to move the entire row. It does take some time to get your head around it, I guess, but once you get it it's a great option...

You can use structs in Lite-C

Yes, its useful once you get it... but isn't C-script was supposed to be easier than C++?

I mean why would they change C/C++ to make it more confusing?

c-script is the easy one
c-lite is harder
c++ is hard

...and binary is the impossible

no, after C++ follows assembler and then binary. Don't ask me what's harder

And why C++ is harder than C? If you know C it just a cat jump (like we germans say) to work in C++.

ranked usage difficulty from least to greatest as complexity increases
(only opinions, of course)
C++ (easiest)
C (fairly obsolete?)
Lite-C (obsolete at birth? somewhat < C?)
C-Script (just plain bullsh!t? nearly 92% of 'real' modern languages are more powerful?)
