GetVariableReferenceFromName

[Lyberodoggy]

I was working on my plugin Random Events to enchance it and I realised that the GetVariableReferenceFromName function isn't working properly.

Please help, I need to fix it ASAP

Sorry for bumping the post but that's the only way to get you attention.

Please stop ignoring me... Someone help me with the reference function. It doesn't work as it should...

Hi Lyberodoggy,

I had no succes either when I tried make an array using the GetVariableReferenceFromName some time ago.

Please ask GM cause I don't think many people tried it hence the low feedback.

With best regards,

Hi,

Fortunately it is only due to a mistake in the help document, not in AM itself.

Instead of the following code:

Code: Select all

   Dim Y
   Set Y =  GetVariableReferenceFromName("MyGlobalVariable")
   Y = 1357

please use the following code (note the ".Value" in the third line):

Code: Select all

   Dim Y
   Set Y =  GetVariableReferenceFromName("MyGlobalVariable")
   Y.Value = 1357

Regards,

I think I asked about global arrays a few months ago. Local arrays are practically useless. Is there not away they could be integrated into the next update of AM?

Hi,

Global arrays are in the to-do pipe.

In the meantime, if the array is made of strings, you can convert it to a single variable and then convert it back to an array by using the Split and Join functions, as explained in the following thread:
