SSE How to isolate strings?

[TruePooshmeu]

I'm sorry, this probably has a very easy answer, but the whole Sky ui github page has none, and I google around other programming sites, but I didn't find an answer, and I don't know the technical terms for my question is so here it goes in the pic. I also tried CreationKit wiki.

 

I want the "SetMenuDialogOptions" command to only show some strings, not all of them.

I tried several ways:

 

Classes={2,3}

Classes=[{2,3}]

Classes=[2,3]

Classes={[2,3]}

 

and I tried without the "="

 

 

I also tried without "classes"

{2,3} [{2,3}] [2,3] {[2,3]}

github link you know already: https://github.com/schlangster/skyui/wiki/MCM-API-Reference

SetMenuDialogOptions(string[] options)
Parameters:
    options - The list entries for the menu dialog.

Context:    OnOptionMenuOpen()

snippets of source scripts for SkyUI (subfolder headers)

Forget classes in picture you attached, simply use array of strings

either I'm missing something or I didn't explain my needs properly, I already have na array called "classes".

 

"classes" array have several strings already, I want the menu to show only some of those. if "classmainchoice == 2" I want it to show only the class[5] and class[6] for example, not the whole array

 

In the example above he uses two different states, one for each array shown.

If you had a String[], or an Array of Strings called "Classes"..

 

Classes has 6 indexes, all of which are strings obviously, you'd do:

 

String foo = Classes[5] ; This gives me the 6th string in my String array

 

String bar = Classes[6] ; This gives me an out of bounds index, error

 

String foobar = Classes[4] ; This gives me the 5th String in the array

 

 

But if you wanted to get multiple strings out of the array and store them for use as output you'd use a loop to iterate through the "Classes" array in which you will store the specific indexes you want in another String[], and then output the processed array, or even iterate through the processed array and output every index line by line. This is a very fundamental programming practice.

[TruePooshmeu]

you mean strings array inside strings array??

 

how am I gonna do it interact with StringList = new string[2] in the mcm script?

 

I need to create a struct?

 

Or do I need to create a double array in the form String[][] = PrimaryStringList , SecondaryStringList

 

Or I declare it String[[]] = PrimaryStringList[SecondaryStringList]

 

 

String[[]] = PrimaryStringListN1[SecondaryStringListN1]

String[[]] = PrimaryStringListN1[SecondaryStringListN2]

String[[]] = PrimaryStringListN1[SecondaryStringListN3]

String[[]] = PrimaryStringListN2[SecondaryStringListN1]

String[[]] = PrimaryStringListN2[SecondaryStringListN2]......

.

.

.

.

.

 

So I can use something like this> PrimaryString[SecondaryString[Choice]]

 

How in hell will I declare a string array inside a string array and how do I make it na mcm entry list?

String[[]] isn't a valid type, probably in any language. I thought we were talking about papyrus.

I'm kind of confused on exactly what you are trying to do.

[doticu]

So your problem is that in vanilla papyrus, it's not possible to take a "slice" of an array. But if you make SKSE and PapyrusUtil dependencies of your mod, you can use their functions to get what you want:

String[] Classes
int ClassesMainChoice

event OnConfigInit()
    int ClassesLength = 6
    Classes = Utility.CreateStringArray(ClassesLength); a SKSE function

    Classes[0] = "String 1"
    Classes[1] = "String 2"
    Classes[2] = "String 3"
    Classes[3] = "String 4"
    Classes[4] = "String 5"
    Classes[5] = "String 6"
    ; notice how 0 == "String 1", 2 == "String 3", and 6 == none
endEvent

; ...

event OnOptionMenuOpen()
    if ClassesMainChoice == 0
        SetMenuDialogOptions(Classes)
        ; all choices are available: "String 1" through "String 6"
    elseIf ClassesMainChoice == 1
        int FromIndex = 2
        int ToInclusiveIndex = Classes.length - 1
        String[] ChoiceClasses = PapyrusUtil.SliceStringArray(Classes, FromIndex, ToInclusiveIndex); a PapyrusUtil function
        SetMenuDialogOptions(ChoiceClasses)
        ; 4 choices are available: "String 3" through "String 6"
    elseIf ClassesMainChoice == 2
        int FromIndex = 5
        int ToInclusiveIndex = Classes.length - 1
        String[] ChoiceClasses = PapyrusUtil.SliceStringArray(Classes, FromIndex, ToInclusiveIndex); a PapyrusUtil function
        SetMenuDialogOptions(ChoiceClasses)
        ; 1 choice is available: "String 6"
    endIf
endEvent

Just remember, not only do you have to install SKSE and PapyrusUtil, but your users do too.

Ahhh! thanks, I've managed to make a workaround, but I'll remember this. thanks man

Glad to here that! Sometimes it's better to take another approach. You're very welcome.
