When an npc is generated they have a random id and their last name added to a struct which is then put into an array. How do I check those values against each other?
Say its 310:Gray, 262:Covics, and 689:Gray, how would I then check those against each other?
Making sure that the last names either do or don’t match and if they do then I check to make sure the numbers don’t, then from their if they do or don’t act upon them.
Thanc
This isn’t amazingly efficient, but here is pseudo-code you can implement in blueprints: essentially have two loops and go through the array, checking against all other elements if any last names match with that one.
Loop from index i = 0 to ArrayLength - 1
bHasRelatives = false
Loop from index j = 0 to ArrayLength - 1
if Array[i].LastName == Array[j].LastName AND i != j
"Last Names are Equal for element i and j"
bHasRelatives = true;
if bHasRelatives == false
"Element i has no relatives"
