How to get the index of an array variable?

[Lord Ganja 5]

How do I extract the index of an array variable?

 

e.g

 @mob_id[index] <--- How do I extract the index from @mob_id variable?

 

Thanks in advance!

May you elaborate what you want to do?

(I don't seem to understand your question)

The only methode i know would be:

setarray .@mob_ids, 1002, 1003, 1004, 1005;.@mob_id = 1004;for( .@i = 0; .@i < getarraysize(.@mob_ids); .@i++ ) {	if(.@mob_ids[.@i] == .@mob_id) {		.@index = .@i;		break;	}}

@@Dastgir,

Exactly what Winterfox posted. But I was looking for something like script command, if it even exists.

 

e.g

setarray .@mob_ids, 1002, 1003, 1004, 1005;

.@mob_ids[3]; <-- The index here is 3

getvarindex(.@mob_ids); <-- getvarindex is just an example, which returns the index of the attached variable

-> so 'getvarindex' will return '1005'

Is there any alternative? Or is it the only way? Thanks btw.

Depends on what you want to do. If you wan't to use the index to check for a specific value you could do it like this:

setarray .@mob_ids, 1002, 1003, 1004, 1005;.@mob_id = 1004;for(.@i=0; .@i < getarraysize(.@mobIds); .@i++) {    .@blacklist[.@mobIds[.@i]] = 1;}if(!.@blacklist[.@mob_id]) {	 // Do something}

But thats only worth if you want to have some kind of black/white list. Since if you iterate trough it depending on what you store you will get a pretty high index and will have to iterate over tons of empty values.

You also could do something like this:

setarray .@mob_ids$, 1002, 1003, 1004, 1005;.@mob_id$ = 1004;if(strcmp(":" + .@mob_id$ + ":", implode(.@mob_ids$, ":")))  {    // Do something.}

If you really want a way to easily get the index to a value you would need to do it like that i guess:

setarray .@mob_ids, 1002, 1003, 1004, 1005;.@mob_id = 1005;for(.@i=0; .@i < getarraysize(.@mob_ids); .@i++) {    .@mob_ids_lookup[.@mob_ids[.@i]] = .@i;}mes getmonsterinfo(.@mob_ids[.@mob_ids_lookup[.@mob_id]], 0);close;
