  • Hi,

    I'm looking to Read data from an INI file and set the values an array.

    Example:

    >Load INI file.

Set 

[Name]
1=James 

as

Array[1,1]

[Health]
1=5

as

Array
[1,2]

[Name]
1=Jeff 

as

Array[2,1]

[Health]
1=15

as

Array
[2,2][/code:rt7ido1c]

Obviously it's more data than the example, but you get the idea.

The best way to do this would be using a loop, but I'm exactly sure how to in Construct. Any ideas?

  • Try Construct 3

  • I'm not sure it makes much sense to organize things in the way you showed. Wouldn't it be better to go about it like this in the INI:

    [James]Health=5

[Jeff]
Health=15

[/code:8t3iix3p]

So every group is a character and you can add attributes like you want as items. Or in case you need the character names as items too, I'd prolly just do:

[code:8t3iix3p]

[Char1]
Name=James
Health=5

[Char2]
Name=Jeff
Health=55

[/code:8t3iix3p]

And again, I would prefer to use a Hash Table instead of an Array to get the data in the game.  Just create a hash table for each group and add the items as keys. Some simple loops. 

In case you do absolutely need a cap example or insist on using an array (for a reason I'm not aware of), just say so.
