Cloneindex Problem

[tzoli]

Hi. I have a little problem with the cloneindex.
What is the correct form of this?:

Code: Select all

    int i;
    i=cloneindex-1;
    block.i.type=0;



and this:

Code: Select all

    int i;
    i=cloneindex-1;
    if(block.i.type==0){
    ...
    }

instead of having block.i.type (Since the compiler in GE doesn't like that for some reason)

you'll need to use the GetClone function

Code: Select all

Actor tactor;//Temporary actor
int i;
char temp[256];//Temporary string holder
i=cloneindex-1;
sprintf(temp,"block.%d",i);
tactor=getclone(temp);//getclone returns a pointer to the mentioned actor.
//A pointer is a variable that points to a space in memory, in this case, tarctor will point to "block.i"
tactor->type=0;
//When dealing with pointer variables, you need to use the point-to (->) and not the .

Code: Select all

Actor tactor;
int i;
char temp[256];
i=cloneindex-1;
sprintf(temp,"block.%d",i);
tactor=getclone(temp);
if(tactor->type==0)
{
    //do something :)
}

if you need help with some explanation, just ask!

Thanks! Now it will be easier to change variables between a lot of actors. I gave a +
