EDIT*

I am trying to find the minimum value of an array of enemy distances compared to each enemy that calls the function. I have been able to succesfuly store the distances but I am having trouble setting my.min_distance to the minimal value in the array.

The array ignores values of 0;

Here is the array code that deals with 4 enemies:

Code:
function find_min()
{
	if (my.l < 4)
	{
		if(E2E[my.pos*4 + my.l] < 300  && E2E[my.pos*4 + my.l] != 0)
		{
			if(my.min_distance == 0)
			{
				my.min_distance = E2E[my.pos*4 + my.l];
			}
			else
			{
				if(E2E[my.pos*4 + my.l] < my.min_distance )
				{
					my.min_distance = E2E[my.pos*4 + my.l];	
				}
			}
		}				
		my.l += 1;
	}
	if(my.l >= 4){my.l = 0;}
}


No worries. Got it sorted. Seemed I needed a switch type value to kick off for the first value that wasnt 0 to make itself the first minimal value.

Code:

function find_min()
{
	if (my.l < 4)
	{
		if(E2E[my.pos*4 + my.l] > 0  && my.first_value == 0)
		{
			my.temp_value = E2E[my.pos*4 + my.l];
			my.first_value = 1;
		}
		if(E2E[my.pos*4 + my.l] > 0  && my.first_value == 1)
		{
			if(E2E[my.pos*4 + my.l] < my.temp_value)
			{
				my.temp_value = E2E[my.pos*4 + my.l];	
			}
		}
		if(my.l == 3  && my.first_value == 1)
		{
			my.min_distance = my.temp_value;
		}
		my.l += 1;
	}
	if(my.l >= 4){my.l = 0;my.first_value = 0;}
}
