Really long string lists.

[adam]

Better support for exceptionally long strings would be nice.

At least until I find a way to keep track of 400+ bank accounts without having all thier names in a string.

You simply can't copy and paste when it gets that long, it cuts off the end.

bankaccount_account1
bankaccount_account2
etc

Graal c++ will have much better data storage, so no worries bah

Sure you could do it that way. But you wouldn't be able to do things like, sort through them all and figure out what's where. Or automatically sort through them and check for empties and delete them. Or add interest automatically. Or easily list all the accounts in the bank and the total cash in the bank.

The accounts themselves are all in separate strings, it's just thier names that are in the one string. So the Bank npc can easily see what accounts it manages.

you could do
bankaccount_0=Account1,ammount in bank
bankaccount_1=asdfaccount,ammount in bank

this.flags=getflagkeys(bankaccount_);

in that example, this.flags = 0/{0,1};

i'm not sure if getflagkeys works serverside yet

A good way to get a total value of funds is through a for() loop

NPC Code:

---

for (this.i=0; this.i<(maxaccounts); this.i++) {

  setstring banktotoal,#v(strtofloat(#s(banktotal))+strtofloat  (#s(bank_account#v(this.i)));

}

---

I'm not positive if that will work though. I've been away from Graal for a little too long :x

I'll give it a try sometime, must have missed that function.

You didn't miss it. Jagen just hangs out with Stefan all day

Hey, yo. I wouldn't make a separate string for each account - it just seems wasteful. I'd code a system that makes the account list automatically overflow into a new string when its length exceeds the limit. That way you can minimise the number of strings you're using.

that is an old function o_O ive posted about it on these forums a few times too
