GML How to set an object to the array?

[Edwin]

Hello.

I want to set all objects in room to the array. How to do it?


And also, maybe whether it is possible to make so that one object did not repeat in an array? I want to make something like this on every vegetable in room, so player can pick it up.


I don't want to make this on Draw Event on vegetable object because I want it to be something other like an interface.

WHEN do you want the vegetables to be added to the array? At the start of the room?

WHERE is the array stored? In some controller object?

If the answer is "yes" to my questions, then in the create event of the vegetables, add it to the array stored in the controller object.

CREATE EVENT

var i = array_length_1d(obj_controller.array)

obj_controller.array[i]=id

I have also assumed that when you said

I want to set all objects in room to the array

you meant "I want to set all instances in room to the array". If I've been an ass in this assumption then swap "id" in the code above with "object_index" - but then you still have to deal with repeat entries in the array.

If you need to update the array at some point, after clearing it you can do this in the controller object

with(oVegParrent){
    var i = array_length_1d(other.array)
    other.array[i]=id
}
