Hi, I was wondering if its possible to use a directaccess datatype... what for? hmm well suppose I do have a list of enemies atm..suppose its length is 100

and I do wanna check a list of online ppl against it...suppose its 25 length.

It´d be nice to just have a method hashlike: enemies.contains($whoeveriwannacheck)?
where id only have to check once the datatype against the charname..instead of 25 times loop on the worse scenario for items on the end of the list.

atm I loop through the whole list checking if the name is stored there...but performance wise i think it´d be nice a new datatype just an idea..

or maybe the datatype is already implemented and Im missing it?

Tintin doesn't support associative arrays, but it's possible to use its list support in this case:

Heya,

I followed your example and it works for singlewords.. but somehow the fnd command is not working for me on more than 1 word.. any idea what am I doing wrong?
for example:

#var layerstier1 {{toughened leather} {oiled calfskin} {softened hide} {buckskin} {rough shagreen} {embossed leather} {soft suede} {sand-baked hide}}

#if {@listfnd{layerstier1 %0}}
is true for buckskin...but it fails trying to look for other comps.

thanks

Following ought to do the trick for that: #if {@listfnd{layerstier1 {%0}}}
