I want to receive a string from an array using a variables' integer as the array index. But it is not working.
Attempt 1
; Suspended | 0 = No, 1 = Yes
global Suspended := 0
global SuspendedMsg := ["The script has been paused.","The script has been re-activated."]
Pause::
Suspend
if suspended = 0 ; If script is not suspended
{
TrayTip, Paused, SuspendedMsg[Suspended], 3
Suspended++
} else ; If it is suspended
{
TrayTip, Activated, SuspendedMsg[Suspended], 3
Suspended--
}
return
Attempt #1 will just display the string "SuspendedMsg[Suspended]" because I don't know where to set the variable indicator %. Even if I set it to SuspendedMsg[%Suspended%]
it will either display [1] or [0].
Attempt 2
; Suspended | 0 = No, 1 = Yes
global Suspended := 0
global SuspendedMsg := ["The script has been paused.","The script has been re-activated."]
global SendSuspendMsg := SuspendedMsg[Suspended]
Pause::
Suspend
if suspended = 0 ; If script is not suspended
{
TrayTip, Paused, %SendSuspendMsg%, 3
Suspended++
} else ; If it is suspended
{
TrayTip, Activated, %SendSuspendMsg%, 3
Suspended--
}
return
Attempt #2 won't do as well, it doesn't even display any message. I tried fiddling arround with % inside the global SendSuspendMsg := SuspendedMsg[Suspended]
variable but it won't do no good. Anyone care to help me out?
@Blauhim missed an important point, although his answer is mostly correct. First the Index in an Array when created like you did, always starts at 1, then proceeds to 2 etc, etc... So your code was flawed when you tried to use your Boolean variable to call to an index as a 0 Index does not exist (not to mention that you didn't force and Expression on that TrayTip Command).
; Set our variable to 1 why? Because we are going to use a Logical switch below.
Suspended := 1
; This was correct format and I left it, although I removed Global's as they are not needed
SuspendedMsg := ["The script has been paused.","The script has been re-activated."]
Pause::
; Suspend toggles each time it's called
Suspend
; Here we are toggling the value of our variable using !
; We started with a 1 so that it would be correctly
;Changed to a 0 for the code below.
suspended := !suspended
; Nothing changed here
if suspended = 0 ; If script is not suspended
{
; In order to pass an Array or Object or Expression to a Command you Force it
; using the a Percent Sign with a space on either side.
; Also note you were trying to use your Logical True/False 0 or 1 variable to
; itterate. This didn't work because Array's always start with an Index of 1.
; Below I've accounted for this by simply added a 1 to your suspended so it correctly
; points to the Index in our Array.
TrayTip, Paused, % SuspendedMsg[suspended + 1], 3
} else ; If it is suspended
{
TrayTip, Activated, % SuspendedMsg[suspended + 1], 3
}
return
