Title: help to find letter postion
Post by: dark1973 on November 12, 2018, 02:05:27 AM

Hi. i need help regarding this code:

local charlist = [ "a", "b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i","j","k","l","m","n","o","p","q","r","s","t","u","v","w","x","y","z","0"];

//return the first letter of the game
function firstletter()
 {
        local pstrip = fe.game_info(Info.Title).slice(0,1);
        return pstrip;
 }

//return the index position of letter game
function findchar()
 {
   local pstrip = fe.game_info(Info.Title).slice(0,1);
        foreach (index, item in charlist)  {
  if (item == pstrip)  {
    return index;
  }
}
 }

local lettera = fe.add_text( "[!firstletter] ", 25+[!findchar], 25, 70, 35 );

i have an error "null 0x000"returnig the value index.

...if (item == "d").... in this case index value is "3" correct

function firstletter()
 {
        local pstrip = fe.game_info(Info.Title).slice(0,1);
        return pstrip;
 }
function findchar()
 {
   foreach (index, item in charlist)
{
  if (item.tostring() == fe.game_info(Info.Title).slice(0,1))  {
   
posizione = (index+1)*10;
return (index+1)*10;
  }
else {}   
}

posizione = 130
return 130;
 }
 
posizione = findchar();
local lettera = fe.add_text( "[!firstletter] [!findchar]", posizione ,10 , 100, 35 );

Could you just use find(value) to return the array index?

charlist.find(fe.game_info(Info.Title).slice(0,1))+1)*20   this way?

Unfortunately, when I change games, position is not updated

function transition( ttype, var, transition_time )
{
   if ( ttype == Transition.?????????) {
...
...
....
   }
   return false
}
fe.add_transition_callback(this, "on_transition")

this way?

Do it inside your magic function instead of your foreach loop and compare line. Both do the same thing. Just trying to clean up code. :)
