Array sort problem (complicated)

[gc8 970]

Hi

I'm writing this group replenishment script where I have one array that holds the groups starting roster (_startingRoster) and one array that holds the groups current roster (_curRoster). And I am pushing to the _curRoster the unit types missing from there. The problem I'm having is how do I sort the _curRoster so that the items in there are in same order as in _startingRoster?

 

_startingRoster = ["B_APC_Wheeled_01_cannon_F",
"B_Soldier_SL_F",
"B_Soldier_TL_F",
"B_soldier_repair_F",
"B_soldier_repair_F",
"B_medic_F"];



_curRoster = ["B_Soldier_SL_F","B_Soldier_TL_F","B_soldier_repair_F"];


_curRoster pushback _unitType; // Push back the items missing from _curRoster

 

thx!

Well since you're asking here I assume you have considered just dropping the data in _curRoster and do _curRoster = +_startingRoster? 

 

 Unless you have to input elements over time the above should be enough.

Can't do that. I'm filling the _curRoster one item at a time. And it should be sorted correctly after each new item.

How is _cur filled? units _grp apply {typeOf _x}? 

 

Edit, what I mean is: where does the initial state of the group come from? Do you manage that on your own or just rely on an engine check?

_curRoster pushback _unitType;

@gc8, try this function:

params [
    ["_startingRoster", [], [[]]],
    ["_currentRoster", [], [[]]]
];

if ((_startingRoster isEqualTo []) or { _currentRoster isEqualTo [] }) exitWith { [] };

private ["_currentRosterOrdered", "_index"];

_currentRosterOrdered = [];

{
    _index = _currentRoster find _x;

    if (_index >= 0) then {
        _currentRoster deleteAt _index;
        _currentRosterOrdered pushBack _x;
    };
} forEach _startingRoster;

_currentRosterOrdered + _currentRoster;

You're gonna have to give us something more to work with. 

 

What's the initial setup and what exactly needs to be done? 

 

Edit: scratch that, unless you're leaving something important out the pushback should be enough since the item is always added last.

@Schatten Thx, tried that but it makes _curRoster empty array

[Schatten 268]

@gc8, just assign new value:

_curRoster = [_startingRoster, _curRoster] call fnc;

Alright, I'll post my code here was thinking of saving you from this at first but here you go 🙂

 

It's not in any regard final script but a prototype

 

_startingRoster = ["B_APC_Wheeled_01_cannon_F",
"B_Soldier_SL_F",
"B_Soldier_TL_F",
"B_soldier_repair_F",
"B_soldier_repair_F",
"B_medic_F"];

_curRoster = ["B_Soldier_SL_F","B_Soldier_TL_F","B_soldier_repair_F"];


replenishGroup =
{


_numVehsTotal = { !(_x isKindOf "man") } count _startingRoster;
_numMenTotal = (count _startingRoster) - _numVehsTotal;
_vehRepTime = -1;
_menRepTime = -1;

_repCheck =
{
 params ["_numCur","_numTotal","_repTime"];
  
  if(_numCur < _numTotal) then
  {
   if(_repTime < 0) then { _repTime = time; };
   
   if( (time - _repTime) > 3 ) then
   {
    scopename "replenishCheck";
    _repTime = -1; // Reset timer
	
    // Replenish
	{
	 _unitType = _x;
	 _numTypeShouldBe = { _x == _unitType } count _startingRoster;
	 _numTypeIs = { _x == _unitType } count _curRoster;
	 
	 if(_numTypeIs < _numTypeShouldBe) then
	 {
	  systemchat format["rep one %1" , _unitType];
	  
	  _curRoster pushback _unitType; // Replenish
	  
	  breakOut "replenishCheck";
	 };
	} forEach _startingRoster;
	
   };
  };
 _repTime
};

sleep 0.1;

 while { true } do
 {
 
  if(true) then
  {
 
  _numVehsCur = { !(_x isKindOf "man") } count _curRoster;
  _numMenCur = (count _curRoster) - _numVehsCur;

  _vehRepTime = [_numVehsCur,_numVehsTotal,_vehRepTime] call _repCheck;
  _menRepTime = [_numMenCur,_numMenTotal,_menRepTime] call _repCheck;
  
  systemchat format["Cur roster: %1 %2", count _curRoster, _curRoster];
  

  }
  else
  {
  _vehRepTimes = -1;
  _menRepTime = -1;
  };
 
  sleep 3.5;
 };
};

 

to call:

 

call replenishGroup;

works now, thx! 🙂

 

[gc8 970]

@Schatten Can I use that function in my mission?

[Schatten 268]

@gc8, sure! 🙂
