why there's no action "Array Get Previous"

[do.games]

Hello,

When using the basic array system (So not Array Maker), there s an action Array Get Next, (there's even an update Array get Next2), but there's no action "Array Get Previous"...

So how to loop in the reverse way in the array ?

Thx,

Hi,

 - You can always iterate manually, maintain an index starting at (count-1), increment that down to 0 and get array at that index.

you can use the Iterate action on the ecosystem to speed the process above.

- you can also reverse using ArrayReverse the array and done

Let me know if you can't get it to work, I'll do that action and put it on the ecosystem.

 Bye,

Thank you very much for your answer Jean.
I'll try it next week and keep you inform about my progress.
But for sure, if you have any free time, an "Array Get Previous" would be very suitable

Thx again,

Hi,

 done, you can can get that action from the Ecosystem:

Hey Jean,

Want to point out the action isn't working, can you take a look at what's up?

I solved it.

I've attached an image of what to do.

For those who are having difficulty understanding (I did), do this:

0) Use Array Get action, not Array Get Next action.

1) Make an Int Variable, call it index, set it on the INDEX Field of Array Get.

2) Add Add Int action on another state, set your INDEX int there.

3) Type 1 or -1 on Add Int action. Up to you.

4) Link it back to Array Get state, you'll see the INDEX changed the array.
