Topic: (Solved)Addtoglobal integer array through repeating function not in room script.

[FanOfHumor]

I have this global integer array  that I want to add to each always but whenever I place this in any other repeatedly execute that is not in a room it doesn't do anything.I have tried putting it in a script at the top of the script list.
    timer[0]+=1;
  timer[1]+=1;
  timer[2]+=1;
  timer[3]+=1;
  timer[4]+=1;
  timer[5]+=1;
  timer[6]+=1;
  timer[7]+=1;
  timer[8]+=1;
  timer[9]+=1;

Open the global script and look for the existing

Code: Adventure Game Studio

1. function repeatedly_execute() {
2.   // code in here
3.   // ...
4. }

Now put this inside:

Code: Adventure Game Studio

1.   for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) timer[i]++;

That didn't work.Are you sure you understood my post entirely.I am wondering if this is maybe an error with ags because I have not had this problem before 3.6.0.I have had many other problems with global integers not being recognized as changed even when they are in the top of a script list.So to put it simply:I have a script at the top of the list and in that I have repeatedly execute always copied from global script and global integers in there adding up every game loop.I'm sure that they are adding up because I had it display the integer by placing Display() right next to the adding integer and it did show to be adding up .But if I place Display in a room script and try to display the integer from there nothing happens.The integer stays the same.I hope i've made this clearly understood.

This displays the global integers value.

Code: Adventure Game Studio

1. // new module script
2. function repeatedly_execute_always()
3. {
4.   test+=1;
5.   String s=String.Format("%d",test);
6.   Display(s);
7. }
8. // new module header
9. int test;
10.  

If the above script doesn't have display this in room script doesn't display integer.It always displays zero.

Code: Adventure Game Studio

1. function room_RepExec()
2. {
3.  
4.  
5.   String s=String.Format("%d",test);
6.   Display(s);
7. }
8.

This sounds like a variable duplication case, as explained in this article:
https://adventuregamestudio.github.io/ags-manual/TheScriptHeader.html

Please tell how did you declare these variables? Do you use "Global Variables" planel, or declare them yourself in the script header; if you do this yourself then do you use import/export, or just put them in the header?

[FanOfHumor]

I just put them in the header as this exactly without import or export.

int timer[10];

Is there something wrong with doing it like this?

EDIT:ok I just read the link you showed me and I understand that I was doing it wrong.Thanks again.

I don't understand how to export a variable to all room scripts.

I don't understand how to export a variable to all room scripts.

Here's the page which explains how to import/export variables:
https://github.com/adventuregamestudio/ags-manual/wiki/ImportingFunctionsAndVariables

In short:

Code: Adventure Game Studio

1. // in script module's header
2. import int timer[10];
3.  
4. // in script module's body
5. int timer[10];
6. export timer;
7.
