A little issue with local variable

[Jihl]

Hey there all

Thanks for all the help until now, you are the best community

May I get a little bit of help on this? It is giving me the error that "array_aux" is not defined when the function scr_show_loot_ensured gets called

the code:

// Read Data
var object_type = buffer_read(buffer, buffer_u8)
var my_id       = buffer_read(buffer, buffer_u16)
var total_slots = buffer_read(buffer, buffer_u8)

// Create auxiliar array
var array_aux
   
for (var i = 0; i < total_slots; i+=2)
{
    // Add item to the array
    array_aux[i] = buffer_read(buffer, buffer_u16)
    msg("Got item id: " + string(array_aux[i]))

    // Add item quantity to the array
    array_aux[i+1] = buffer_read(buffer, buffer_u16)
}
     
// Find object
var object = scr_object_find(object_type, my_id)
     
// Use object
if !is_undefined(object)
{
    with object
    {
        // Show the corpse loot
        scr_show_loot_ensured(total_slots, array_aux)
    }
}
else msg("Object is undefined")

Thank you very much!

Aren't you missing the index?

I am sorry! The problem was that total_slots was 0 so array_aux had no values at all.

I see that there are some functions to create arrays, but I am using the ones that don't require the function for now.

Thanks for the reply
