Enum inside an enum - array too many subscripts

Flick3rR · **Author**

Hey, guys! I'm actually trying to make an upgrade menu where you have few sub-menues:
1. Grenades
2. HP
3. Armor
4. Critical damage
5. Speed
Well, all of them can be upgraded one time, except for the grenades. When you choose them, an sub-menu appears with all kinds of grandes. So I'm actually trying to put all the upgraded values in one variable and made it like with enum:

PHP Code:


			
enum _:eGrenades

{

    HE,

    Flash1,

    Flash2,

    Frost

}



enum _:eUpgrades

{

    Grenades[eGrenades], //This is the critical line, no error here, but will thi work properly?

    Health,

    Armor,

    CritDmg,

    Speed

}



new player_upgrade[eUpgrades][33]

The problem is that I've tried to put new character in the enum, which is already enum-tagged. No errors in the enums, but when I try to use player_upgrade like:

PHP Code:


			
player_upgrade[Grenades[HE]][id]

it gives me an error:

Code:

Error: Invalid subscript (not an array or too many subscripts): "Grenades"

So, I'm asking why is this causinh, since the "Grenades" is tagged with those from the other enum. And is there a better way to make it?

Try

PHP Code:


			
player_upgrade[Grenades][HE][id]

The same. It actually doesn't make sense, I think, when the variable is created with two subscripts. The strange is why the error is appearing...

Then

PHP Code:


			
player_upgrade[Grenades + HE][id]

should work I guess. Can't think of a correct way(if there is any) to access that "deep".

EDIT:
Actually, you should have created a variable like so

PHP Code:


			
new player_upgrade[33][eUpgrades];

and you will be able to access it as

PHP Code:


			
player_upgrade[id][Grenades][HE]

That actually worked pretty neat

Thanks, man, I would never guess that the possition of the subscripts matters

You may want to leave a tag on these 2 enums (create them without _: before the name), so when indexing them you will most probably know if something went wrong because of tag mismatch. That way, you will be able to index the player_upgrade array with only these enum elements, making it more error-proof.
