Get String from Array.

[mephisto]

Hello Again.

I have a little problem with this code, so. can someone helpme?.

    clothes = ['Shadow','Combate', 'Guardia', 'Marino', 'Prisionero', 'Campesino']
    for i in 0..clothes.size  
    if @actor.character_name.include?('_' + i)
       self.contents.draw_icon_text(80, 10, 150, 32, clothes[i])
    end   

What I was trying?
I wash trying to check, if the clothes names, that are included in the array. are included in the Character Name.
Example..


If the character name of the actor is:

001-Meph_Shadow.png

The window prints: the actual name, it's say... Shadow but I can't get the name of each index of the array. exist a code for that? like to_i, to_s....

Or in a ruby form.

if @actor.character_name.include?('shadow')
 self.contents.draw_icon_text(80, 10, 150, 32, 'Shadow')
elsif @actor.character_name.include?('Campesino')
self.contents.draw_icon_text(80, 10, 150, 32, 'Campesino')
elsif
etc...
etc...

Thats all.

Thanks.

I'm a not totally sure I understand what you are trying to do.
It sound has if you are simply trying to get the String from the specified index. I.e. clothes[i] in your case.
You are already using this code to draw the icon so I don't think that's your problem.

Can you explain the context? In other words: What are you trying to accomplish with this?

I know that was really ugly description..
I want to make this:

if @actor.character_name.include?('shadow')
 self.contents.draw_icon_text(80, 10, 150, 32, 'Shadow')
elsif @actor.character_name.include?('Campesino')
self.contents.draw_icon_text(80, 10, 150, 32, 'Campesino')
elsif
etc...
etc...

But in a shorter way like this:

    clothes = ['Shadow','Combate', 'Guardia', 'Marino', 'Prisionero', 'Campesino']
    for i in 0..clothes.size  
    if @actor.character_name.include?('_' + i)
       self.contents.draw_icon_text(80, 10, 150, 32, clothes[i])
    end 

(In relation to the draw_icon_text, It's a method from the MACL. )

 

[Zeriab]

Would this work?

    clothes = ['Shadow','Combate', 'Guardia', 'Marino', 'Prisionero', 'Campesino']
    for i in 0..clothes.size  
    if @actor.character_name.include?(clothes[i])
       self.contents.draw_icon_text(80, 10, 150, 32, clothes[i])
    end

'i' is an integer.  I think you want....

if @actor.character_name.include?('_' + clothes[i])

[ edit ]
...too slow...  :scruff:
or what Z said, you don't really need to search for the '_'.

 

[mephisto]

That's True, And works, but Now, I have this:

module Status_Symbols
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # â–º Clothes
  #   Keep the list of clothes that deals with the characters.
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Clothes = {0 => 'Shadow', 1 => 'Campesino', 2 => 'Guardia', 3 => 'Marino'}
end

    for i in 0..Status_Symbols::Clothes.size  
    if @actor.character_name.include?("#{Status_Symbols::Clothes[i]}")
       self.contents.draw_icon_text(80, 10, 150, 32, Status_Symbols::Clothes[i].to_s)
    else
     self.contents.draw_icon_text(80, 10, 150, 32, 'Casual')
     end  
   end

The problem with this code, is that the text is over another text, so i get this:

What is the solution for this?

 

[Glitchfinder]

You edit the X so that it changes depending on i. Thast's really all there is to it.

 

[mephisto]

MM.. I don't want to display all the names, all only want to display 1 name that depends of the character name.

 

[Zeriab]

Here's one way of doing it.

  text_drawn = false
  for i in 0..Status_Symbols::Clothes.size
    if @actor.character_name.include?("#{Status_Symbols::Clothes[i]}")
       self.contents.draw_icon_text(80, 10, 150, 32, Status_Symbols::Clothes[i].to_s)
       text_drawn = true
       break
    end  
  end
  unless text_drawn
    self.contents.draw_icon_text(80, 10, 150, 32, 'Casual')
  end

 

[mephisto]

Mmmm...Works fine, but the:

  unless text_drawn
    self.contents.draw_icon_text(80, 10, 150, 32, 'Casual')
  end

When text_drawn is false, doesn't draw the text 'Casual'

What's the problem?

 

[Zeriab]

Oh, I though it shouldn't draw the 'Casual' when it drew something else.
Here ya go:

  for i in 0..Status_Symbols::Clothes.size
    if @actor.character_name.include?("#{Status_Symbols::Clothes[i]}")
       self.contents.draw_icon_text(80, 10, 150, 32, Status_Symbols::Clothes[i].to_s)
       break
    end  
  end
  self.contents.draw_icon_text(80, 10, 150, 32, 'Casual')

 

[mephisto]

Mmm...It Works, but again happens this:

This looks like paranormal?

 

[Zeriab]

Could you tell me again what the problem was with this version:

  text_drawn = false
  for i in 0..Status_Symbols::Clothes.size
    if @actor.character_name.include?("#{Status_Symbols::Clothes[i]}")
       self.contents.draw_icon_text(80, 10, 150, 32, Status_Symbols::Clothes[i].to_s)
       text_drawn = true
       break
    end  
  end
  unless text_drawn
    self.contents.draw_icon_text(80, 10, 150, 32, 'Casual')
  end

 

[mephisto]

When my character has a graphic that not include any of the arrays indexes, it's supossed to draw a 'Casual', but doesn't draw anything.

Instead of Casual appears a blank.
That's the problem.

 

[Zeriab]

That is certainly strange since a quick test shows that the logic behind my reasoning works.
The methods are called correctly. The problem most likely lies elsewhere. (Check for copy-paste errors)
Maybe you are calling a draw method with arguments where you don't draw anything.
Try changing 0..Status_Symbols::Clothes.size to 0...Status_Symbols::Clothes.size. That is 3 dots instead of 2 so you don't get the Status_Symbols::Clothes.size along as the last iteration. (You have 4 elements in the provided example.)
Try putting p 'some message' around the loop and find out where the problem is.

Aleluya... I don't really know what was the function or the difference between .. and ..., so the problem was that.

  text_drawn = false
  for i in 0...Status_Symbols::Clothes.size
    if @actor.character_name.include?("#{Status_Symbols::Clothes[i]}")
       self.contents.draw_icon_text(80, 10, 150, 32, Status_Symbols::Clothes[i].to_s)
       text_drawn = true
       break
    end  
  end
  unless text_drawn
    self.contents.draw_icon_text(80, 10, 150, 32, 'Casual')
  end

I changed the  0..Status_Symbols::Clothes.size for 0...Status_Symbols::Clothes.size and at the instance works perfect.

So thanks for the help. I expect this will not give more problems or bugs.

Thanks thanks. :thumb:
