Objects. Love/Hate Relationship.

[killerogue]

While enjoying my ability to come up with quirky names for threads. I'm having an issue elsewhere with me objects in my mudlib.

Here's the issue:

When I echo all the objects vars through the for loop. It only returns the values/information of the last two vars. This is causing a serious pain in the ass. Becuse no matter what I come up with. It refuses to return the values for all 3 object variables.

However, I know the variables are being written as getDynamicVarNames() returns all three vars. But I'm only getting the values for two.

Here's the script portion:

PHP Code:

public function reflectItems() {
  list = ("Control_Mudlib").itemreflectvars;
  array.clear();
  
  for (i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
    if (files[i] == null) {
      break;
    }
    
    item = new TStaticVar();
    item.loadVars("mud/" @ files[i] @ ".arc");
    
    obj = new TStaticVar();
    obj.(@ list[i]) = makevar("item." @ list[i]);
        
    for (var : obj.getDynamicVarNames()) {
      echo(obj.(@ var));
    }
  }
}

Where is 'files' coming from?

[killerogue]

files is an array list of item names I set in an earlier function.

[Novo]

files - locations of lists...
lists - variables of concern...

What I see is this:

a) lists[ i ] is with respect to files[ i ] here... What you'd have to do is just:

PHP Code:

 for ( temp.var: list )
  obj.(@ temp.var ) = item.(@ temp.var ); 


b) Variables might be reserved.

Thanks Novo! Worked like a charm.

You know, you don't have to initialize all objects to TStaticVar (but its good insurance), TGraalVar is variable after all.

Observe:

PHP Code:

public function saveItems() {
  temp.file = 0;
  temp.i = 0;
  temp.path = 0;
  temp.data = 0;
  
  
  for (i = this.items.size() - 1; i > -1; i --) {
    if (this.items[i].archname != null) {
      data = this.items[i].getSaveData();
      file.(@ "item" @ data[0]) = {data[1], data[2], data[3]};
    }
  }
  path = MudControl.containerpath @ this.conttype @ "/cont" @ this.contid @ ".txt";
  file.saveVars(path, 0);
} 


file is not TStaticVar :P

Umm... Shouldn't variables be MudControl.(@ containerpath @ this... ) instead?

I thought variables concatenations don't work that way.
