Dynamic hotspots in loop and array

Anonymous — Thu, 24 Mar 2016 12:18:25 GMT

Hi !

I need small help in coding. I'm not very good in it so sorry if the question is rather simple.

I need to make lines witch are drawn by a loop "FOR 1 TO 5" where each line lenght can be controled seperately by its own hotspot.
I managed to make it work so all hotspots show but each of the hostposts control line length of ALL the lines.... but thats not the goal.


hsid=101
FOR p=1 TO 5
HOTSPOT2 	0, 	0, 		    hsid, lenght, 1+128		: hsid=hsid+1
HOTSPOT2 	0, 	lenght, 	hsid, lenght, 2			: hsid=hsid+1
HOTSPOT2 	0, 	-1, 		   hsid, lenght, 3			: hsid=hsid+1
line2 0,0,0,lenght
add2 3, 0

NEXT p

I suppose I need to make some sort of an array where each "lenght" is different but its seems to be in conflict with the "FOR TO" Loop.

This does not work:

DIM lenght[]
hsid=101
FOR p=1 TO 5
HOTSPOT2 	0, 	0, 				hsid, lenght, 1+128		: hsid=hsid+1
HOTSPOT2 	0, 	lenght
, 	hsid, lenght
, 2			: hsid=hsid+1
HOTSPOT2 	0, 	-1, 				hsid, lenght
, 3			: hsid=hsid+1
line2 0,0,0,lenght

add2 3, 0
NEXT p

Any ideas how to get hotspots work seperately in a loop ?

Take a look at the 2D script for my framing object. It does exactly this. There is a loop statement in the body of the script with the hotspot controls set in a subroutine.

It works !

BTW Nice object, thumbs up.

This is how its done:


hsid=hsid+1

i=1

FOR p=1 TO 5 

	GOSUB 100   !!!Hotspots
	line2 0,0,0,lenght
	add2 3, 0
	i=i+1

NEXT p 

END

100:   !!!Hotspots
HOTSPOT2    0,    0,       		hsid, lenght, 1+128     : hsid=hsid+1 
HOTSPOT2    0,    lenght,    hsid, lenght, 2         : hsid=hsid+1 
HOTSPOT2    0,    -1,      		hsid, lenght, 3         : hsid=hsid+1 
RETURN

The key is that the "lenght" parameter requires in the "parameters" a "array values" in a column:
