Is it possible to loop through an enum?

PHP Code:

ArrayList ValidRewards = new ArrayList();
            for(int i; i < 2; i++)
            {
                if(Package[CoinRarity][i] != null)
                {
                    ValidRewards.Push(i);
                }
            } 


PHP Code:

#define MAX_RARITY        6

enum PackageStructure
{
    ArrayList:Credits = null,
    ArrayList:Weapons = null
}

new Package[MAX_RARITY][PackageStructure];

I would hate to have to do something like this:

PHP Code:

#define MAX_RARTIES        4
#define PACKAGE_MAX        2
#define CREDITS            0
#define WEAPONS            1

ArrayList Packages[MAX_RARTIES][PACKAGE_MAX] = {{null, ...}, ...};

Why? This is easier to understand (imo). Also you don't need to initialize the arrays to null when they are already null.

Meh, I ended up with this (not what I would like though):

PHP Code:

kv.GetString("Weapons", sBuffer, sizeof(sBuffer), "");
            if(strlen(sBuffer) > 0)
            {
                Packages[iIndex][PACKAGE_WEAPONS] = new ArrayList(32);
                
                int Strings = ExplodeString(sBuffer, " ", sBuffer2D, sizeof(sBuffer2D), sizeof(sBuffer2D[]));
                for(int i; i < Strings; i++)
                {
                    Packages[iIndex][PACKAGE_WEAPONS].PushString(sBuffer2D[i]);
                }
            }

ArrayList ValidPackages = new ArrayList();
            for(int i; i < PACKAGE_MAX; i++)
            {
                if(Packages[CoinRarity][i] != null)
                {
                    ValidPackages.Push(i);
                }
            }

You can use enum structs for that, but you can't give them default values like you did.

PHP Code:

enum PackageStructure
{
    ArrayList:Credits = null,
    ArrayList:Weapons = null
} 


should just be

PHP Code:

enum PackageStructure
{
    ArrayList:Credits,
    ArrayList:Weapons
}

new Package[MAX_RARITY][PackageStructure];

ArrayList ValidRewards = new ArrayList();
for(int i; i < view_as<int>(PackageStructure); i++)
{
    if(Package[CoinRarity][i])
    {
        ValidRewards.Push(i);
    }
}

When referencing an enumeration list within a loop, is putting "_:" followed by the enum name the same as "view_as<int>" by default ?


Example:

PHP Code:

enum SIClasses
{
        SMOKER_CLASS=1,
        BOOMER_CLASS,
        HUNTER_CLASS,
        SPITTER_CLASS,
        JOCKEY_CLASS,
        CHARGER_CLASS,
        WITCH_CLASS,
        TANK_CLASS,
        NOTINFECTED_CLASS
}

// another function
{
    for (new i = 1; i < view_as<int>(SIClasses); i++)
    {
        Format(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "z_%s_health", SINames[i]);
        PrintToChat(client, "%s", buffer);
    }
} 


Original plugin writes the loop using "_:SIClasses"

PHP Code:

    decl String:buffer[17];
    for (new i = 1; i < _:SIClasses; i++)

There should be no difference between _:foo and view_as<int>(foo) besides being old and new syntax. It has nothing to do with enums.

Edit: Back to the original question, you can't do something like in the previous post or P-M's in general if your enum has an array in it (as you might use if you're trying to emulate structs). Those examples of iterating will only work if you know the starting value (as you can see, P-M's loop starts at 0 and dustinandband's at 1; they hardcoded the starting index to match their enums) and each enum member's value goes up by one. Well, I guess you could know they're all arrays of the same size, but such a case would be unusual.
