[sssssssssss]

I've got it sorted through like recommended above for the most part, but am now having issues sorting when showing "all" messages with timevar2. timevar2 is the [2] value in each client array for each message.

My logic is probably flawed on here, and/or I'm missing something really easy.

PHP Code:

this.categoryArr = {"mass", "tell", "system", "guild"}; 


PHP Code:

function showAllMessages()
{
  //showMassMessages();
  //showSystemMessages();
  //showTellMessages();
  //showGuildMessages();
  
  // set size of all messages
  temp.messageSize = client.mass.messages.size() + client.system.messages.size() + client.tell.messages.size() + client.guild.messages.size();
  
  // set images to correlate with categoryArr
  temp.messagesImg = {"pmbubble_mass.png", "pmbubble_normal.png", "pmbubble_admin.png", "pmbubble_guild.png"};
  
  // random number for image id
  temp.rdnID = random(1, 99999);
  
  // sort through all messages set so far per size
  for (temp.i = 0; i < messageSize - 1; i++)
  {
    //this.categoryArr = {"mass", "tell", "system", "guild"}; for reference
    // sort through each category at the id set above
    for (temp.j = 0; j < this.categoryArr.size() - 1; j++)
    {
      // if the timevar is less than the next one, show
      if (client.(@this.categoryArr[j]).messages[i][2] < client.(@this.categoryArr[j]).messages[i + 1][2])
      {
        // since this timevar is smaller than next, check for message on hold that wasn't previously
        if (holdMessage == null || holdMessage == 0 || holdMessage == "")
        {
          // no messages on hold, show this message
          ChatBox_WindowText.addtext("<img src=" @temp.messagesImg[j]@ " id=sendImg." @temp.rndID@ "/>"@client.(@this.categoryArr[j]).messages[i][0]@ ": " @client.(@this.categoryArr[j]).messages[i][1]@ "<br>", false);
          //temp.holdMessage = client.(@this.categoryArr[j]).messages[i];
        }else 
        {
          // there is a message on hold, compare it to this one
          if (client.(@this.categoryArr[j]).messages[i][2] < holdMessageTime)
          {
            // this messages timevar is lower than the one on hold, show message
            ChatBox_WindowText.addtext("<img src=" @temp.messagesImg[j]@ " id=sendImg." @temp.rndID@ "/>"@client.(@this.categoryArr[j]).messages[i][0]@ ": " @client.(@this.categoryArr[j]).messages[i][1]@ "<br>", false);
          }else
          {
            // the message timevar is higher than the one on hold, show message on hold
            ChatBox_WindowText.addtext("<img src=" @temp.messagesImg[holdMessageImg]@ " id=sendImg." @temp.rndID@ "/>"@holdMessage[0]@ ": " @holdMessage[1]@ "<br>", false);
            
            // reset hold message values to null for next message to know
            player.chat = holdMessage@ ", " @holdMessageTime@ ", " @holdMessageImg;
            temp.holdMessage = null;
            temp.holdMessageTime = null;
            temp.holdMessageImg = null;
            
            // show message after one on hold, since it was still less than the next
            ChatBox_WindowText.addtext("<img src=" @temp.messagesImg[j]@ " id=sendImg." @temp.rndID@ "/>"@client.(@this.categoryArr[j]).messages[i][0]@ ": " @client.(@this.categoryArr[j]).messages[i][1]@ "<br>", false);
          }
        }
      }else 
      {
        // set time and message hold to save and compare to next message
        temp.holdMessageTime = client.(@this.categoryArr[j]).messages[i][2];
        temp.holdMessage = client.(@this.categoryArr[j]).messages[i];
        temp.holdMessageImg = j;
      }
    }
  }
  ChatBox_WindowText.scrolltobottom();
} 


I have buttons and again, this is supposed to show all messages. I was reluctant to post this lol, but I'm not the first to do it I'm sure so all well.

It does show some things, and switching back and forth from a category to all makes things pop to the top instead of bottom, but it doesn't show "all" things like it's supposed to and I'm just plain stuck on it. Everything else works fine though...

P.S. I moved this because it really should have been in it's own thread. It didn't have much to do with where it was...
