Title: How to loop trough types of buildings.
Post by: Hoehrer on March 28, 2006, 07:40:07 pm

As the title says. How do i loop/search trough all available types of buildings?

The global var ....

Code: [Select]

extern building_t    bmBuildings[MAX_BASES][MAX_BUILDINGS]; ... stores them seperated by bases (and thus probably duplicates).

I suspect that i can use the prev/next entries in building_t somehow ...

Code: [Select]

struct  building_s *prev;
struct  building_s *next;is a
.. but how do i know where to start/stop?

the prev and next is currently not set:

Code: [Select]


building_t* entry;
for ( i = 0; i < numBuildings; i++ )
{
    entry = &bmBuildings[0][i];
}

numBuildings is the global building count
and bmBuildings[0] means that you use the buildings from the first base.

the main data is the same at each base - but there may be different workers assigned and so on. the dynamic stuff is handled in each base.

Thanks, that helps alot :)

Now the only barrier i still need to break is the non-global numBuildings ... just need to find all the needed things.
