  • Wow thanks for this!! I Tried to call the twitter API, Nothing happened though :( I'll try play around with it some more later :D Thank again!!

    Can you show an example JSON string and indicate what key you need?

  • Update:

    Add property for initialize hash table data (in JSON string)

  • rexrainbow

    can you explain the difference between Hash.At and Hash.Entry expressions? Also, are all key/value pairs stored as strings?

    thanks,

  • Key is a string, value can be number or string.

    The parameter of "expression:Hash.At" is a fully key string. ex "a.b.c0".

    "expression:Hash.Entry" need to used with "action:Set current entry". For example, value in key string "a.b.c0" can spite to "a.b" and "c0".

    • Using "action:Set current entry" to set current entry to "a.b"
    • Using "expression:Hash.Entry" by "c0"

    "expression:Hash.Entry" might make user confused, how about deprecating it?

  • Hi Rex, some questions about hashtables

    is there a way to loop thru a hashtable or should i combine it somehow with an array

    and is a hashtable a good way to do something like a shop with tabs :

    example:

    armortab:

    heavy armor = properties: defence:4 attack:0

    medium armor = properties: defence:2 attack:0

    ...

    weaponstab:

    sword = prop: def:1 atk:6

    dagger= prop: def:0 atk:2

    ...

    how would i write something like this?

    {"armor"{"heavy_armor"{"def":4}, "medium_armor"{"def":2,"atk":2} }, "weapons "{"sword"{"def":1,"atk":6} "dagger"{"def":0,"atk":2}           }}

    ?

    thanx for any advice you can give..

    If you want to set some initial definition, try CSV plugin. You can create readable table in excel (or something else)

    I'll try to implement "loop thru a hashtable". BTW, CSV has a loop retrieve condition.

  • Update:

    Add version to 0.5

  • Update:

    Add condition: for each. expression: CurKey, CurValue

    For example, hash table =

    {
     "a":{
           "b":1,
           "c":2
         }, 
     "d":3
    }

    for each "a" will get

    key = "b" , value = 1

    key = "c" , value = 2

    for each "" ("" is root) will get

    key = "d" , value = 3

    ( There are two keys "a" and "d" in root, but value at key "a" is not a number or string, only get key "d")

  • Update:

    Add "action: remove value" to remove item in this hash table

  • Nice plugin, thanks for sharing :)

    Question: for keys with object values, is it possible to get the key on each item? This is crucial for me because I have a list of items with keys for item id, something like:

    {
      "SWORD-000" : { "name": "rusty sword", "stat": { "DMG": 100 } },
      "SWORD-001" : { "name": "dull blade", "stat": { "DMG": 200 } },
      "SWORD-002" : { "name": "iron blade", "stat": { "DMG": 300 } }
    }
    

    thanks

  • I made a small modification on my own, the current purpose is to just show that the value is an object, so I can add a sub-event to detect and handle it properly

                this.exp_CurKey = key;
                this.exp_CurValue = value;
                
                if ((typeof value != "number") && (typeof value != "string"))
                    this.exp_CurValue = "[!OBJECT]";

    This plugin support "for each key", see this post

    scirra.com/forum/plugin-hash-table_topic47637_post322689.html

    And thanks, I will add a condition to check if the key is existed.

  • Yeah, the problem is, in my data, root keys all have object values, so this will look like an error (nothing to show)

    I'd also like to have a conditional to check if curKey has object value.. this would be helpful, so I can store the ids on an array and fetch the data directly from HashTable.

    thanks!
