Array, And Foreach Function

[FarisDon]

Code Select Expand

players <- []; // That's a Array as you guys know!
foreach(a,val in players) // But what is that ??? I found it often! in scripts
{Basically i just want to know the function of players/anyname <-[] this array plus Foreach(a, val in players ) May you just explain me these 2 things, so i'll really appreciate you!( What does they do, and how)
P.s: Sorry, for my bad english, and it's a request to  you S.L.C If you are gonna explain, so in easy words please!

It's actually pretty straightforward.
When you have, let's say, 2 elements in that array. You can loop through it using the foreach statement. Which like it's name suggests, does something for each element.
The syntax is basically foreach( index, value in array ).
In our case, the array has 2 elements. Let's say:

Code Select Expand

players[0] = "Test 1";
players[1] = "Test 2";

When you do a foreach like this:

Code Select Expand

foreach( index, value in players ) {
print("Index: " + index + ", value: " + value);
}
It will print:

Index 0, value: Test 1
Index 1, value: Test 2

'foreach' '(' [index_id','] value_id 'in' exp ')' stat
Foreach is a loop executes a statement for every element contained in an array, table, class, string or generator.

Code Select Expand


local a=[10,23,33,41,589,56]
foreach(idx,val in a){
    print("index="+idx+" value="+val+"\n");
}
or

Code Select Expand

foreach(val in a){
    print("value="+val+"\n");
}

He made his script complex this makes it easy to understand

Code Select Expand

foreach(val in players){
    print("value="+val+"\n");
}

If you look closely there will be a players.push( players.id ) and players.remove( player.id ) which will add player id to array when he joins and remove player id when he leaves.

You said exactly the same as @Thijn already said...

[Thijn]

'foreach' '(' [index_id','] value_id 'in' exp ')' stat

...

It's nice you take the time to explain something but:
1. Don't do it when it's already been explained.
2. Say the same thing.
3. Try to give an easier example and then fail to actually tell what it does.

Thanks @Thijn!
