patch a range of columns of 2da (solved)

[Allbrother]

Hi. I need to patch every column in a 2da after column x, but I don't know how many columns there are so I can't just do it one at a time.

So I need to go from 

COUNT_2DA_COLS cols
	SET_2DA_ENTRY 29 4 cols 0

To

COUNT_2DA_COLS cols
	SET_2DA_ENTRY 29 4->cols cols 0

How would I do that?

As usual, with a while or for loop:

You might want to be a little more specific. Than a 100+ page coding manual.

Y'know Jarno you could just type the clarification yourself. Bitching about someone not being helpful enough in the same breath that you are being completely unhelpful is not a good look.
 

COUNT_2DA_COLS cols
FOR (col = 4 ; col < cols ; ++col) BEGIN
  SET_2DA_ENTRY 29 col cols 0
END

Right, and what's the general casein protein amount in the powdered milk ? How the cheese should you know, well there's a whey...

As in, did I ever say I knew ? No.

Thanks guys.

 

TBF telling me FOR could do it was helpful, I had picked it up (though only half understood it) from a tutorial a while ago and was using it to find the row to patch in the same tp2, but for some inexplicable reason had decided it couldn't do what I needed it to with the cols . Took some figuring out how to write it and the exact code would've saved some time (thanks subtledoctor) but got it working eventually

I would have linked it directly, but the docs don't have any anchors.

I think you should leave posting in the „Modding Q&A” section of the forum to people who are able and willing to provide answers, Jarno.

Right, next you'll be telling me that it has no index at the bottom of the page that links to most subjects in it either. Use a different browser please and recheck again. Now, it might not havwe everything, but most sections have quite few index locations that can be indexed to, from which you can describe the portion you would need to look out for... Or just quote the thing yourself.

Somehow you forgot the meaning of the "Q" in that entirely. It's "Questions", not "Quit". But you can go ahead and do that on your own.
