_realm_iter

Hi,
What is _realm_iter
I see it in the distro with moongates and the decay system, but don't see it defined anywhere.

Thanks in advance

Well, I'm amazed. It really goes against the grain using something I can't see declared.... Thanks Repsak.
Maybe I will try the distro decay system now.....

iterators are great things.

_(var)_iter is a variable you get inside a foreach loop that tells you where you are in it.

foreach tom in (array)

_tom_iter would give you a number and tom would be the value of that index

foreach entry in (dictionary)

_entry_iter would give you the key name you're using and entry would be the value.

Great indeed, but the documentations on this topic is inadequate.

Its existed inside of POL for a very, very long time.
It was changed slightly in 095 and was documented.
I think its also noted in an updated version of Racalac's script guide.

Its been discussed on the POL forums numerous times.
*Its been used in distro scripts for a while.



* Most learn from looking at other scripts than any other resource.

Forums is a good place for information, that's why I read most all posts, not just the ones that look interesting, or pertain to problems of my own

Austin,
does the online 096 racalac escript guide need fixing?

var a := array{"A", 1000};
foreach i in ( a )
Print(_value_iter);
Print(value);
endforeach

_var_iter seems so useful..... I must invent a reason to use it.
