Solved Help with decaying list values

[NCSGeek]

Full script: https://pastebin.com/dJxWdCEW

Hello all! In my script, im looking to have values in {%player%-tpa::*} be removed from that list after a given amount of time. Im not quite sure how to go about this, however. Above is my current script.

I have no addons installed, and I'm on Skriptv2.3.5 Minecraft 1.13.2. Thanks!

You can add a delay, then after that delay you simply add delete {%player%-tpa::*}. However, I recommend you to not put an expression (e.g. player) at the start of a variable. You will be better of doing something like {tpa::%player%::*}, since you can easily manage lists that way.

Well, here's the thing, the {%player%-tpa::*} list is all requests. I'd rather individual requests 'decay' individually. So basically, I'd need {%player%-tpa::%arg-1%} to be deleted rather than the entire list.

Also, do you mean to just append a 'wait' then delete it after that? Because I considered that, but it seemed like a bad way to do it. Seems to me like it'd be better to do it sort of "asynchronously". (detached from the command's trigger)

You can add a method to set a list with a specific index to the variable, and delete that {list::index} later. And yes, I think you can add a normal wait here since it's not required for the delay to remain after server restart (at least I think so) and then you should also add a thing that deletes all of the lists on skript load.

It has been a while since I've done skript, could you shoe an example of what you mean regarding that method to delete a specific index? Also, yeah, I probably should have a delete on script load, you're right. The server will be online 24/7 am it won't happen often, but still move to have.

Something like this:

set {_index} to size of {list::*} + 1
while {list::%{_index}%} is set:
    set {_index} to {_index} + 1
set {list::%{_index}%} to {_value}
wait 1 second
delete {list::%{_index}%}

    set {_index} to {_index} + 1
set {list::%{_index}%} to {_value}
wait 1 second
delete {list::%{_index}%}

Alright, thanks for the tip! I might simply delete the index after waiting an amount of time, but this would be better anyway so If I do feel like going this route, then this will come in handy. Cheers!
