So you would have 30 arrays or so? Whatevergameevent(currentplayer) I do a similar thing but have all events stored in a single array ArrayA(currentplayer), This is essentially what you have done,but I take all of your current player variables and assign them each a position in a enveloping overarching array At the same time I enable save game states, by converting ArrayA(player1) to a String(Player1) And assign to nvS1 etc.... |

Yeah, you're correct. There are a bunch of 4 element arrays. Your approach sounds good too if I understood you correctly. So, you have one 4 element array. Code: Dim OutsideArray(4) Dim InnerArray(50) ' Assuming 50 events ' Or in 1 Line Dim OutsideArray(4, 50) So using it would be like: Code: Const cBonusLit = 1 Const cBallsLeft = 2 Const cScore = 3 Dim OutsideArray(4) Dim Player1Array(50) Dim Player2Array(50) ' through 4... Player1Array(cBonusLit) = TRUE Player1Array(cBallsLeft) = 2 Player1Array(cScore) = 50250 OutsideArray(1) = Player1Array I actually like this way better (assuming I'm on the correct path...): Code: Dim OutsideArray(4, 50) OutsideArray(1, cBonusLit) = TRUE OutsideArray(1, cBallsLeft) = 2 OutsideArray(1, cScore) = 50250 ' ... OutsideArray(CurrentPlayer, cBonusLit) = (OutsideArray(CurrentPlayer, cBallsLeft) > 2) Is that correct? It's almost like having a bitmask per player. I like the idea of saving state; that's a big win for those that want that functionality. Thank you for sharing! |

Your coding knowledge is More advanced than mine But essentially your understanding is correct Dim ArrayA(4) Then I copy and paste an Array template by Wecoc that defines how the array is processed, allowing for 99 events within But, because I am converting to Strings for save states, and saving to nvS1-16 , and each nvS only allows 32 numbers, my array is constrained from 99 to 32. To confuse you even more, Ravarcade Gave me a code to allow two strings to be compressed into one nvS

Saving states also has the potential to double the events you want saved! Depending if a save state saves only at the beginning or end of a turn or during play in the middle of multi ball or a mini game |

If you download the dark knight ultimatum it has my most advanced save states where you can save and restore during mini Games |

I actually took the code base and modified it to use a multidimensional array like you mentioned (and I mocked up before). Need to do more testing, but so far it seems to have been a clean transition. Once it's solid (I swear every time I have a good game I come across something...) I will upload. Thanks for the messages; really appreciate the conversation. |

The last version of MM available from SLAM was v1.02. I changed a few graphics as seen in my abandon thread and uploaded it to http://www97.zippyshare.com/v/jgL8BdRU/file.html If you fixed some stuff in the script I am always interested, but you should probably use the 1.02 version as base. The physics on that one are 2.7. Maybe post the script changes here when you're done? I'd appreciate that. the last changes as per his script were ' ULTIMATE Edition 1.02: ' improved all lighting effects ' fixed a few bugs ' improved geometry |
