Array Database (need advanced users help :P)

So, i found a way to make system use some king of database and it's hopefully works except one thing.

(You need to download this file :3)

You have 3 arrays.

1. Inventory

2. In-game objects

3. Database

The database represents the tablet with object "id" and name.

What i'm using in my example:

     x1    x2    x3

y1   ?1     2     3

y2 stick stone apple

and when you drop item, system compare item's id and id in array and using name under this id to create object.

This is pretty fine system but i can't make it works to load objects on start up. (?21 and ?25 events in example).

And i again hoping on your help guys :P

This is pretty fine system but i can't make it works to load objects on start up. (?21 and ?25 events in example).

I'm not sure what you mean. It works for me, loads the items from the array and shows them at the correct places. I can place items in the inventory, I can move them around and they get saved when exiting the application. The next time I start everything is loaded correctly as it was when exiting.

I want these events to replace on these but i when i'm trying to do it, it doesnt works.

Please excuse me, but I still don't understand.

Do you want the inventory to be saved everytime when it is changed, instead of just on exiting?

I mean, it works, right? Why would you want to change it?

Sorry for my bad english.

So ok, there are 2 ways to create necessary object.

First one:

It's inconvenient way, because you need to add every id by yourself every time when you wanna add new object in game.

Second one:

This way using database array to detect necessary object and it's even more easier then first

On startup event, i have first way to create objects (where i need to type every id) but i want make it like in second one but I can't do it.

I hope now you understand :<

Ah, yes, now I see! I'm sorry for being so numb sometimes :)

I'll try to make it work.

It was just a matter of indirect referencing, if you look at the events you will instantly see what I mean. But feel free to ask, if it is not obvious.

I found some kind of bug. When system using id from array it uses id thats compare of array index (id = 3 array = 3,1)

I added 3 objects that is not compare array's indexes and 1 which is compare. First 3 doesn't work and last one works fine.

The next time I start everything is loaded correctly as it was when exiting. ...

try to do it with colorblock1 colorblock2 and stoneblock ._.

An index is a number used to enumerate things. By nature this has to be a progressive integer.

An array also uses integers.

Something like '3,1' is not a number to Construct, so it interprets it as a string.

For you to not lose overview, use the array 'database' as a simple 1-dimensional array to store the names of the objects:

stick stone apple colorblock1 colorblock2 stoneblock

Now you may reference the object by its index (stick = 1, stone =2, ..., stoneblock = 6)

When filling the inventory, put in this index, e.g. if the second slot of the inventory should contain an apple, then inventory(2) = 3

To look up the name, you use database(inventory(2)), which resolves into database(3), which is "apple", because the third item of database is "apple"

Sorry, but i'm don't understand this:

Can you show me? :3
