How to make Arrays (Sorry if wrong)

Well, now I want to show you how to make Arrays, even.. I am not sure if thats what we like to call them.
___________

Here we go.

First of all, we need to choose what it's gone be.

I will choose weapons for now. ( cuse most used and easy too )

First we start our line with:

self.wep = []

Okey, that is the first line in our thread.
Then we gone add "sub arrays" that we will add our things to.
List:

self.wep[0] = "ak47_mp";

Whats in read is just so you see what the difference here and the "main array" is.
then we make a long list of weps. ( or short )

self.wep[0] = "ak47_mp";
self.wep[1] = "ump45_mp";
self.wep[2] = "usp_mp";
self.wep[3] = "tavor_mp";
self.wep[4] = "tmp_mp";
self.wep[5] = "rpg_mp";

Now I have a list of 6 Arrays. (Yes the 0 counts as 1 too)

Now we want to add it to a function/task.
Then I make a Press action thread to just see that this works:

weproll()
{
self endon("death");
self endon("disconnect");

for(i=0; i<=5; i++)
{
self notifyOnPlayerCommand("N", "+actionslot 1");
self waittill("N");
self giveweapon(self.wep[i]);
self switchtoweapon(self.wep[i]);
}
}

As you see, I have marked more text.
The for(i=0; i<=5; i++) this will do so that the list will go up so we get our list to work as we want it to.

So when i = 0; menas that it will be Array 0.
And the i<=5; means that it will stop when it reach 5. (In this case it doesn't really mater that much but. We mostly like avoid lagg)
And the i++ means that we increase i that's 0 with 1 every time we press N.

Now I hope you learned how to make the Arrays.
You can also use this for threads and so on. (maps, models, visions, and more)

Nice tut. I have actually wondered how to make a menu like that easy. But now i know. I actually thought you needed more code but IW really helped us with all those unused functions...

haha, well...

They use arrays too, just not so many

It's not called 'sub-arrays', the numbers inside the square braces are called the indexes. If you do not know how many items are in the array you can use the .size property/variable.

Code:

someArray = [];
someArray[0] = "Hello!";
self iPrintLnBold(someArray.size); //This will display 1 on the screen because the 0 still counts!

If you want to add more things to the array but don't know what number to use, you can do this:

Code:

someArray = [];
someArray[someArray.size] = 1; //At this point, someArray.size equals to 0 
someArray[someArray.size] = 2; //At this point, someArray.size equals to 1
//At this point, someArray.size equals to 2

can you maybe show us a fully completed one?

because i don't really know were to put the

self.wep[0] = "ak47_mp";
self.wep[1] = "ump45_mp";
self.wep[2] = "usp_mp";
self.wep[3] = "tavor_mp";
self.wep[4] = "tmp_mp";
self.wep[5] = "rpg_mp";

in the thread itself??

Well no shit sherlock.

Takes a year for me to understand this^^ But nice turorial.

If you need help to understand.
PM me and I can talk to you over:

Skype, MSN, Steam or TeamViewer

didn't know it had so much to do with php
