Finding the sum of an array?

[Sunny]

Hi! If I have an array of integers, how can I automatically find the sum of the array?

Here is an example:

(Now I get this)
Array 1
485, 325, 198, 225, 186

(But I want this as)
Array 1
485 + 325 + 198 + 225 + 186 = Int Variable

Is there a possible solution to achieve this in Playmaker? Thank you for any help or suggestion! Cheers!

Hi,
you can loop this with "array get next" and use an int add.

If you don't know yet how to, you can find some tutorials here

Hi!
Thanks for the quick reply! Very much appreciated!

I am doing the loop with "array get next" and storing the result as an Int variable, but still all I get is the current Integer in the array. (Integers adds up in some random seconds in the array)

Actually I am messed up in the loop state. When I use Int Add, I am using the variable that I stored earlier in the "array get next" state. and after this I am doing a finished event to the "array get next". So I think there is some important action or variable that I am missing in between to use!

Also as a quick note, I am following this tutorial somewhat to achieve my result.

I still need to fix this up in time! So, can you please help me with some more details on this.

Thank you!

Hi.

I am doing the loop with "array get next" and storing the result as an Int variable, but still all I get is the current Integer in the array. (Integers adds up in some random seconds in the array)

after you got that int you need to use 'int add' in the next state (the state you are looping to)
In 'int add' set a new int variable (call it 'result' for example) into 'Int Variable' and place the int variable that you got from the array into'Add'

Then connect a state to the 'finshed event' in that state you can use the 'result' variable that will have the total from the arrays.

if you need to do this again later in your game you need to 'reset' the 'result' value,
you can do this by using 'set int value' and set it to 0
in the link you can see some images on how to set this up :

H.
I am happy to help.

Btw you can find several tutorials on the User Tutorial Wiki page (beginner to advanced)
When i started using Playmaker it took a little while to get the hang of it, but the more you use it, the easier it gets, i even learned C# thanks to Playmaker and make my own custom actions.

If you are looking for custom actions (things you can't find in the standard actions)
you can get the Ecosystem.
You can find many actions, packages and samples there.
