Combining Array integers into one

[Theshooter7]

Is there a possible way to take to Array indexes, and combine them into a single integer? I do not mean adding them, but kinda like joining them.

Example:

Say Arrays[0] = 3 and Arrays[1] = 5. Is there a way to join them into 35?

I don't think so, I wanted to do something like this once and the best minds in the game couldn't help me. However, you might try something like:

Code: Select all

int combined = Arrays[0]*10 + Arrays[1]

Just multiply the respective variables by the appropriate power of 10 so that they're at the right decimal place and add everything together. Beyond that I don't think there's an answer for your problem.

Well, that may work. All I need it for is for a buy menu. You will be allowed to enter how much of an ammo type you want, rather than adding a ton of seperate options for diffrent amounts.

if its for a buy menu, make it CS style, where you get 1 clip for so much money, and allow them to keep buying until they run out of money, or the clip is full, which ever is first

[Sir_Alien]

Isn't that just Strife style?

I have another question. (Rather than starting another thread.)

How does GiveInventory/TakeInventory and Get/SetAmmoCapacity work online? Does it affect everyone, or just the activator(s)?

[Sir_Alien]

Just the activator.

I think this should work:

Code: Select all

int TestNumber[5] = {10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000};
// I suggest that this could be a map array, and of course you can add more if needed

script xxx
{
	int i, combined;
	...
	for(i = 0; Arrays[1] > TestNumber[i]; i++) {}
	combined = Arrays[0] * TestNumber[i] + Arrays[1];
	...
}

This would be easy if string concatenation was supported.

Convert the arrays to strings and simply join them, then convert the joined string back to integer. =D

but I thought using a string as an integer would return the strings index as an integer, not its numerical value. *scratches head*

if string concatenation was supported.

If all you want to do is print them right next to each other, ACS already has all the tools you need:

Code: Select all

print (i:Arrays[0], i:Arrays[1]);

Other than that, I don't see why multiplying one number by 10 and adding them is such a big deal. Or if you want to do it carlcyber's way:

Code: Select all

int function stitchdigits (int left, int right)
{
    for (int i = 10; i <= right; i *= 10) {}
    return left * i + right;
}

This would be easy if string concatenation was supported.

Convert the arrays to strings and simply join them, then convert the joined string back to integer.

That might be simpler for you, but it would certainly involve more work by the VM and be slower.

Well, I do need them in HudMessages and in some other stuff. These methods work. Thanks guys.
