Kill last created

Hopefully, you can drop those two lines into a code block (changing the attribute names to match yours) and it will work.

But this is the first time I've ever even SEEN Objective-C code, so I don't know if I got it right. Fingers crossed for you!

Then I guess there's only one way to find out :-)

Code: [Select]

Behavior: Design_0_0_CreateSomeBirds at line 81
Label must be a simple identifier.
            _MyActorAttribute = [_birds]: objectAtIndex: ([_birds] }count] - 1)] [_birds] removeLastObject];

Behavior: Design_0_0_CreateSomeBirds at line 81
Syntax error: expecting rightparen before rightbrace.
            _MyActorAttribute = [_birds]: objectAtIndex: ([_birds] }count] - 1)] [_birds] removeLastObject];

Behavior: Design_0_0_CreateSomeBirds at line 81
Syntax error: expecting identifier before rightbracket.
            _MyActorAttribute = [_birds]: objectAtIndex: ([_birds] }count] - 1)] [_birds] removeLastObject];

Behavior: Design_0_0_CreateSomeBirds at line 81
Syntax error: expecting identifier before rightbracket.
            _MyActorAttribute = [_birds]: objectAtIndex: ([_birds] }count] - 1)] [_birds] removeLastObject];

Behavior: Design_0_0_CreateSomeBirds at line 81
Syntax error: expecting identifier before rightbracket.
            _MyActorAttribute = [_birds]: objectAtIndex: ([_birds] }count] - 1)] [_birds] removeLastObject];
Umm... Think I'm getting somewhere with it but loads of syntax errors.
Is there a Objective C syntax checker I can use somewhere?
When I manually make changes I seem to make it worse

Code: [Select]

_MyActorAttribute = [_MyActorsList objectAtIndex: ([_MyActorsList count] - 1)];
[_MyActorsList removeLastObject];

Use the larger code block, for readability,  and paste exactly the code above in it (replacing the attributes with your own, like you did).

The code coleislazy posted was (probably) missing a semicolon.

Good point :-) The larger code block makes it much easier to read!

Ok, so I copied it in and this is the result when compiling:

Code: [Select]

Behavior: Design_0_0_CreateSomeBirds at line 81
Syntax error: expecting rightbracket before objectAtIndex.
            _MyActorAttribute = [_birds objectAtIndex: ([_birds count] - 1)];

Behavior: Design_0_0_CreateSomeBirds at line 81
Syntax error: expecting rightbrace before rightparen.
            _MyActorAttribute = [_birds objectAtIndex: ([_birds count] - 1)];
I tried making the changes that it suggest I.E. putting a ']' before objectAtIndex but this just causes more errors, so it actually ends up worse... :-(



 

Post the generated code, please.

Here is the code when I hit 'preview' oddly I cant see the code I've added:

I've also attached the logs, thank you for helping me, I'm most grateful!

LOL. Since you're an iStencyl Tester I assumed the game was for iOS and the game was coded in Objective-C. However, the code you posted is clearly AS3 (Flash).

Code: [Select]

_MyActorAttribute = _MyActorsList.pop() as Actor;

That code gets the last actor on the list, assigns it to the attribute "My Actor Attribute" and removes it from the list.


Coleislazy was right from the beginning. I apologize for the confusion.

Ahh, I was planning (down the line) to convert it to Iphone, I'm having a lot of issues converting my other game for the Iphone so this was my "break away" from it for a bit, I wanted something really simple to make that I could get on the app store to learn about from App store submission/stats/etc

Never simple though :-)

I'll try the Cole's code! Thanks again for your help, I'll try you code again in a few days when I try and get it running on my iphone!

Well, I'm glad we got this sorted out! And the .pop() method does work. I tested it right before I posted it the other day. Let us know if you have any more problems!

Guys thank you all for your help and advice on this!
