SRL Archive - Discussions and Debates

Well, this is my second time gettign stuck on this, why are there only like 3-4 of each of them? Why not let us use like 20, i just think that would help a lot if added in srl, i dont see what there is too lose. There are only 4 integers i can use, but ide like way more to use. So would it be possible to get like 20 or so of each ot use, or why not? I just dont get why only 3 or 4 of each are useable.

Ummm… Do you mean like the fact that BigInteger, SmallInt, Integer, Double, Single, Word, and LongWord are all almost identical?

Well, im using Integer1 and Integer2 for a form i made, and for the script, i want each player to keep track of thier individual proggys, but i need like 4 more integers for that. I know there is extended and stuff which works kinda the same, but why are there only 3 or 4 of each thing, ide like more to use. And what do you mean by all those BigInteger and things you said?

You can manually add more integers if you want. But srl should have an option to add more integers/booleans/string etc, i agree.

BigInteger and all the other stuff Widget was talking about are variants of the normal Integer, String, etc. Example: Integer can only store numbers up to x limit. BigInteger is far larger. It could be expressed by x squared. (doubt that's correct, but, hey, you get the point, right?)

I just make my own arrays to store report data…

You could make a new array to store all the extra stuff you want. For example:

var
  ExtraStuff: Array of Array[0..3] of integer;

SetArrayLength(ExtraStuff, GetArrayLength(Players));

then you could use it like:
  Players[currentplayer][0] := Logs + 27;

or you could use types, like the players array and do

type ExtraStuff := record
  LogsChopped: Integer;
  TimesClicked: Integer;
end;

var
  Extra: Array of ExtraStuff;

SetArrayLength(Extra, GetArrayLength(Players));
Extra[CurrentPlayer].LogsChopped := 35;

Eh, that stuff is confusing lol. Ide rather just have more integers, strings, etc to use in SRL. I mean, why not, why are there so few to use? I don't see what there is to use. Im just saying that it would be a good idea to add more in the next SRL, but i could be wromg, idk. And is BigInteger, SmallInteger, and that stuff in SRL because i never saw them. Ty.

I use danrox's method, because if you use alot (such as the 20 you are suggesting) you can make things less confusing :)

Instead of having Integer1 -Integer7 and having to remember what they are for, I just make new types and name them something that fits, and can do Players[0].SomethingThatFits

I like that method, but 1.) I dont use things until i know exactyl wha teverything does and 2.) It still seems like a good idea to add more integers, strings, ect for use in SRL

what i dont get why they didnt make it this…

program New;

type
  TUser = record
    Name: string; // * User Name
    Pass: string; // * User Pass
    Nick: string; // * Screen Name for random detection
    Active: Boolean; // * Set to True if Ok, False if Lost.
    Loc: string; // * User Location
    Rand: string;
    Skill: string; // * User Action to Perform
    Level: array[0..21] of word; // * Levels of all skills. SetIn GetPlayerLevels.
    Ore: string; // * test
    WaitTime: Integer; // * Wait Time for Each User, Good for Autofighters
    Fight: Boolean; // * If we want the Char to randomly fight
    Worked: Integer; // * Time User has worked
    Banked: Integer; // * Number of Banks User has done
    Killed: Integer; // * Number of Kills User has made
    Pin: Integer;    // * Current Users Pin Number
    AnyThing : Array [1..20] of Variant;
  end;

Var
   User : TUser;

begin
  User.AnyThing[1] := 'Hello';
  User.AnyThing[2] := 3;
  User.AnyThing[3] := 2.33;

  Writeln(User.AnyThing[1]);
  Writeln(User.AnyThing[2]);
  Writeln(User.AnyThing[3]);
end.

or somthing like that… :p

You could make your own type? Or just another array

Could soemone either give me an idea of hwo to make my own thing like Players[CurrentPlayer].BlahBlah because i dont get hwo to in a script exactly :redface:

And, i still think adding more integers and strings in the next srl would be nice lol
