Converting to Builtin Array for #pragma strict in javascript

Question

Hi All

How do I convert this js script to be #pragma strict friendly?

I keep getting the error the 'Object' does not support slicing. So I understand that the object in the array should be predefined to a string so that when it is pulled out the program knows how to treat it. All my efforts have failed please help:) Thanks!

 scores = new Array();            // All scores are in this array - new is used to reset array
             
             scores.Push(new Array());        // Create a new array in a array
             
             // scores => new array
             scores[0].Push(new Array());    // Now add another array in to the 0 index place of an last array, this array has index 0
             scores[0].Push(new Array());    // Now add another array, this array has index 1
             scores[0][1].Push(PlayerPrefs.GetString("sc"+cp.ToString()+" -"+lvl.ToString()+"-1 - Time","9999.99"));        
             scores[0][1].Push(PlayerPrefs.GetString("sc"+cp.ToString()+" -"+lvl.ToString()+"-1 - Name","New Player"));
             scores[0][1].Push(PlayerPrefs.GetString("sc"+cp.ToString()+" -"+lvl.ToString()+"-1 - i",""));
             scores[0][1].Push(PlayerPrefs.GetString("sc"+cp.ToString()+" -"+lvl.ToString()+"-1 - q",""));
             scores[0][1].Push(PlayerPrefs.GetString("sc"+cp.ToString()+" -"+lvl.ToString()+"-1 - a",""));
             scores[0][1].Push(PlayerPrefs.GetString("sc"+cp.ToString()+" -"+lvl.ToString()+"-1 - c",""));
             scores[0][1].Push(PlayerPrefs.GetString("sc"+cp.ToString()+" -"+lvl.ToString()+"-1 - k",""));

Don't ever use the JS Array class. Only use built-in arrays or generic Lists; that way there won't be issues with casting, plus built-in arrays and Lists are faster and have more features.

Hi Eric I've seen you post this before in other related questions, but the problem is i have all my playerpref write/reads in this array format and i'd like to keep using arrays if possible. As you say, to get it in built-in format will be better and #pragma friendly.. but i'm struggling mate..

You really need to get rid of Array. It's quite simple to convert Array to List; see the link I posted for some more info.

i'll have a read. Will this definitely work with #pragma strict? cheers

Yes, the point of generic Lists is that they can only use a particular type.

try this

 scores[0,0] = new Array();   // Now add another array in to the 0 index place of an last array, this array has index 0
 scores[0,1] = new Array();   // Now add another array, this array has index 1
 scores[0,1].Push(PlayerPrefs.GetString("sc"+cp.ToString()+" -"+lvl.ToString()+"-1 - Time","9999.99"));

thanks PAHeartBeat but how do I read from from this? Currently, I use this code to read from my score playerprefs:

 var time =    scores[0][1][0];
    var playerName =    scores[0][1][1];
     //etc
