Title: Array List Contains Count
Post by: dudebxl on March 31, 2015, 07:06:18 PM

Hi,

I need to count how many x in y array. Could not find action so here we go.. this is more of a hack then a 'real' array action. Could also be used to identify duplicates (guerrilla style) if you already know the data going into array. Count how many 2's in array, if above 1 then you have a duplicate.

Still in beta; only tested with int, string & float so if you have any issues pm me.

Update Note: Added missing elements: Gameobject, Texture, Material & Audio(select Object for audio). Forgot to add these elements sorry lol
Update Note: Due to an adhoc bug (not 'capturing' the inputted variable[]), new action attached. This action was fully re-written. The count compare method is different vs previous action.

Hope it helps someone as I really need this action.. any issues pm me.

Hi,

Great (to both of you), please do  ;)

... but please test well before anything. I have not had time to test well this action (except int, float,etc).. please post here if all is well with action (sorry no time for the moment to do a full on test, will do at a later date) so that i can change the beta status.

Many thanks..

Hi,

 yes, I am currently doing lots of tests, but unfortunatly, arrayMaker package would be better off waiting for 1.8 to come out. so let's see.

 Bye,

FYI,

small bug (maybe): on rare occasions (of course in my project all the time but in tests projects never + unable to reproduce bug), the action does not make a count as the variable[] is set to 0. It is not 'capturing' the inputted variable[] in the switch (variable[] contains data - i see it in the action debug but in debug.log the value is 0). This happens on a adhoc basis. root cause: unknown??

If anybody knows, please let me know.. so that i can update this action.. many thanks as i am out of ideas..

Use this action at your own risk..

Action updated

Hi,

 I have put that action on the Ecosystem (https://hutonggames.fogbugz.com/default.asp?W1181) via Snipt. this will be easier for users to consume your actions:

 To get them from the Ecosystem, browse as usual.

Bye,

I've tried the script, but it can't find the namespace "ArrayListActions" nor can it find anything called "PlayMakerArrayListProxy"
Is there a specific folder in which I was supposed to put this?

@CrispyArrow

Have you downloaded the arraymaker from ecosystem or wiki?

@dudebxl

I downloaded it directly from this forum post

I'm downloading the one from ecosystem right now. If I don't reply anymore, it means that it works :)
