Can I override the order of the arrays?

soo — Fri, 16 Dec 2022 06:13:23 GMT

Hello. With everyone's help, I got some results I wanted.

But I want to put something more.

I added a function to remove the air layer by itself, but the air layer is still in the order of the layers.

when I want to put in additional functions, it's interfering.

for example,

Even on the right, the air layer is still got 4th order of array.

when i want to put some option of additional user text, it's hard to put right position.

Can I override the order of the arrays? Like this pic below.

My guess is that I should use "Call", but I wonder if my direction is right.

thank you for your kindness

I think, you have to create a temp-array, where you store the new values, and after this simply write
old_array = temp_array.
Here you can find an example, how to delete values from an array:

Just follow the menus to the relevant page. It is odd that the links to his page always seem to get lost, even though they have the correct address...

Well, the link is "wrong". If one writes it with a lowercase "A" everything works.

EDIT: HUH?! That is weird! GS, your forum software sucks!

The posted link will get altered and the lowercase "a" becomes an "A". That's mad! WHY?

The trick is basically to write every item of the original array to a temp array – except the one you want to delete – and then write it back to the original array.

That is weird. 🤔

I have amended the link so it now works.
