How do I Rotate through Array values based on timers?

I have a simple premise, you see every 30 seconds (a date keeper) I want a text value to change to the next array value I've placed on the x axis. Now, I have a faint clue as to the use of Curvalue but my attempts have ended in failure. If someone can let me know how to do this I would be grateful.

Note: I've read the Array tutorials and know about appending values and such but not how to cycle through the NEXT value. As in there isn't a "do next value". Unsure how I would even loop them.

You could use the Array.At(x) expression, where x is the index you'd like to get the value for and 'Array' is the name of your Array.

Assuming you have a global variable called "CurrentIndex", you could do something like this:

Every 30 seconds:

-- Set text to Array.At(CurrentIndex)

-- Add 1 to CurrentIndex

You could use the Array.At(x) expression, where x is the index you'd like to get the value for and 'Array' is the name of your Array.

Assuming you have a global variable called "CurrentIndex", you could do something like this:

Every 30 seconds:

-- Set text to Array.At(CurrentIndex)

-- Add 1 to CurrentIndex

Thats almost exactly what I had tried.. but perhaps I forgot to assign the value as an array.

EDIT: I'll let you all know how it turns out and post a capx.

Rotate Array With Push and Pop

Run it, then UP and DOWN arrow keys to "rotate" the array.

Using this method you can just get the value of a fixed index like..

DateKeeper = Array.At( 3 )

Using Pop and Push, the value at (3) will be different.

Hope that helps!

Ahhh seems I might've misunderstood what you wanted. Although my method still works, it might be a bit of overkill...

Alright everyone, I hope this helps you all:I am hoping someone knows of maybe a better way to do something like this, but this is the 'proof of concept' as it were. It needs more polish. Right now its set to a 1.0 second cycle. Which should be made longer for more use but is convenient for testing purposes.

EDIT:

You code does not look very much to the point and your times will produce slight inaccuracies (since it sets timervariable to 0 instead of timervariable - 1 (the time of your cycle))

Yes I agree there is a time delay so its not going to be exactly 1 second each time.

EDIT: Well I checked yours out and although I cant understand it I think its way more efficient and it taught me that you can list Values in one variable? GlobalVar: Stuff1;Stuff2;Stuff3;
