Hello, just a simple question
I want to make a one dimensional array from an array that looks like : [ [ ] , [ ],… ]
is there another way than looping into each arrays of arrays of arrays and appending ?
a solution for array that would be either 3 or 4 or whatever dimension ?
for i in (complex_array.size()):
>for h in (complex_array[i].size()):
>>for j in (complex_array[h].size()):
>>>simple_array.append(j)
I’m so glad recursive functions are supported in gdscript.
func traverse_nested_array(arr):
for i in arr:
if typeof(i) == TYPE_ARRAY:
traverse_nested_array(i)
else:
simple_array.append(i)
Let me explain this to you. When a programming language allows recursive functions, the programmer can call the same function inside itself. This shows how I used this to my benefit.
First pass the array into the function.
Inside the function you go through each element of that passed array.
If the element is itself an array, then you call the same function inside this function, but with this array passed in instead.
If it isn’t, you do whatever you want to do to the element. In this example add it to a different array.
Here simple_array is defined globally in a script. If it was a local variable inside a different function, then you’d have to pass it into this recursive function with the following modification.
func traverse_nested_array(arr, simple_array):
for i in arr:
if typeof(i) == TYPE_ARRAY:
traverse_nested_array(i, simple_array) #pass the parameter into the same one.
else:
simple_array.append(i)
Thank you, best answer solution I could ever expect.
