splitting nested arrays

[Mr White]

Hello,

 

I am attempting to build a weapons/magazine list for AI. I'm using fnc_buildWeightedArray which right now is an agent of Satan in my eyes.

 

I can build two arrays:

_weapons = [["SCAR_L_STD_EGLM_RCO","30Rnd_556x45_Stanag"],["SCAR_H_CQC_CCO","20Rnd_762x51_B_SCAR"]];
_chance = [0.1,0.2];
_weightedArray = [_weapons,_chance] call fnc_buildWeightedArray;

no big deal, but when the array gets huge... it becomes pretty painful

 

What I'd really like to do is run a nested array, but I haven't had any luck splitting the data off.

_weaponsList = [
    [["SCAR_L_STD_EGLM_RCO","30Rnd_556x45_Stanag"],0.1],
    [["SCAR_H_CQC_CCO","20Rnd_762x51_B_SCAR"],0.2]
    ];
/*
Oh noes I am lost here
*/
_weightedArray = [_weapons,_chance] call fnc_buildWeightedArray;

I've tried quite a few things, this was the strongest lead I had. I do need the split weapons and chance further in the script.

_listCount = (count _weaponsList) -1;
_weapons = [];
_chance = [];
for "_x" from 0 to _listCount do
{
    _weapons = ((_weaponsList select _x) select 0) + _weapons;
    _chance = ((_weaponsList select _x) select 1) + _chance;
};

but, doesn't work... I'm hoping it is simple, and I am starting to wonder if it is treating my arrays as strings.

 

not a lot of examples of the weighted array out there. Can anyone throw me a bone?

How about using forEach.

_weaponsList = [
    [["SCAR_L_STD_EGLM_RCO","30Rnd_556x45_Stanag"],0.1],
    [["SCAR_H_CQC_CCO","20Rnd_762x51_B_SCAR"],0.2]
];

_weapons = [];
_chance = [];
{
    _weapons = _weapons + [_x select 0];
    _chance = _chance + [_x select 1];
} forEach _weaponsList;

Although using count instead of forEach might be better choice in this case.
