Solved Counting Variables

[ezmann!44]

Hello, I'd like to count my variables. How could I do it?

{Variable2} is Name, Name, Name

You can see there is 3 words there.
How can i count it? Then broadcast it as "3"

A bit confused as to what you mean, but this may help. When you set a variable like {Variable2} you can only set it to 1 thing.
You can, however, add the words to a list variable like this {Variable2::*}.
So then {Variable2::*} is the list containing Name1, name2 and name3.
To broadcast a count of the number of contents in that list you'd need to set a separate variable that represents the current number on the list. It'd look potentially like this:

command /add <text>:
    trigger:
#This adds your name to the list
        add arg 2 to {Variable2::*}
#Here if the list count hasnt been set it will start at 0
        if {name_count} is not set:
            set {name_count} to 0
#once a note is added it adds 1 to the total note amount.
        set {name_count} to {name_count} + 1

You'd do the same when you remove a name only you'd take away from the total list count instead like this:

set {name_count} to {name_count} - 1

Then when you want to broadcast the total amount the list contains you only need to do something like:

broadcast "%{name.count}%"

Although that would work you could simply

broadcast "%size of {Variable2::*}%"

broadcast "%size of {Variable2::*}%"

Ooo I didn't know that was a thing! That's much easier

Won't work :'(

    set {_slot} to "%size of {_result1::*}%"
    broadcast "&b%{_slot}%" #works - broadcasts 3
    set slot {_slot} of {_executer}'s current inventory to book and quill named "wont work?" with lore ""

{_executer} is %player%, this is in a function

using Skript Dev 25.

How do i fix this?

Parse the variable set to the size as a number.

set {_slot} to "%size of {test::*}%" parsed as number

Parse the variable set to the size as a number.

set {_slot} to "%size of {test::*}%" parsed as number

Or... just don't put it in a string in the first place

 

[ShaneBee]

That means don't put it in between the " " right?

That and you wouldn't need the %s either
