String arrays and for loops are what you seek.

String arrays are basically string which can contain multiple parts of informatoin in an easily accesible way, string arrays should be explained in newfeatures.txt somewhere (Which should be in your Graal folder), and a for loop is basically for (before loop action;condition to stop performing;End of loop action), or to make an example of cade which works the same as the for loop:

NPC Code:

---

if (created) {

  before loop action;

  while (condition to stop performing) {

    Other stuff;

    end of loop action;

  }

}

---

Is actually equal to:

NPC Code:

---

if (created) {

  for (before loop action;condition to stop performing;end of loop action) {

    other stuff;

  }

}

---

With a for loop in combination with a string you can also make use of the sarraylen(sarrayname) function to make the for loop exactly check all entries in the string array.


I hope that helps.

This is the excerpt from newfeatures.txt about string arrays:

- String arrays! they are saved in normal flags/string
variables and look like 'myarray=123,"45",67,"8,9"'
Commands/Functions:
addstring list,text;
insertstring list,index,text;
replacestring list,index,text;
removestring list,text;
deletestring list,index;
sarraylen(list)
lindexof(list,text)
#I(list,index) - gives you the string on place 'index'

Most of them speak for themselves, at least in my opinion.

O.o im retarded lol i know what they are now..... i never knew they were called string arrays O.o X.x But that dont explain how i should make the damn npc look....

if (keydown(1) && this.box>0) {
this.box-=1;
tokenize client.boxs;
while (!strcontains(#t(this.box),box#v(this.box))) {
this.box-=1;
}
}

See O.o so i can make like a selector like if you dont have a box
it misses it out.... =?

nuuuuuu! don't use tokenize!
use this:
addstring list, string;
and to access a string in the string array use:
#I(list, index);

[Warcaptain]

tokenize2 ,,#s(this.boxes);
this.foundbox=false;
for (i=0;i<tokenscount;i++{
if (strequals(#t(i),wat ur trying to find here)){
this.foundbox=true;
}
}
if (this.foundbox==true){
say2 you found me loser;
}else say2 you didnt fine me lol;
