Just curious on how to get dvars into an array.

 

I'm trying to get 'camera_thirdPersonOffset' into 3 different variables.

I've tried:

self.val = getDvar( "camera_thirdPersonOffset" );
self iPrintLn( self.val[0] );

 

but that only seems to print 1 character '-' which is at the start (-120) or something. then I tried:

 

self.val = getDvar( "camera_thirdPersonOffset" );
self iPrintLn( self.val[0] + self.val[1] + self.val[2] + self.val[3] );

 

That worked, but I was look for a simpler way of doing it. :S Any help?

 

EDIT:

Usage:

val = getDvarVector( "camera_thirdPersonOffset" );
self iPrintLn( "Value: " + val[0] );

i think this is the easyest way:D

You are creating a variable with a string, then you are accessing the string variable as an array. The result is that you get single chars from the string (pretty logic).

 

Try this:

self.val = [];
self.val[0] = getDvar( "camera_thirdPersonOffset" );

If I put 'self iPrintLn( "Debug: " + self.val[0] );' It returns -120 0 4, I want separate values. :S This works with velocity. :S

This is one of the pitfalls of no types in gsc. You are calling getDvar which returns a string when you want it as a vector (which lets you access its members as an array or by var.X, var.Y, var.Z) use "getdvarvector" instead of "getdvar".

Thank you Sir. :3 <3 Your help is muchly appreciated.

there are types, but also free casting to everything - you mean 'no static typing'
