Hello I am pretty new to javascript and I am wondering how I could make my code shorter I have an array with multiple items in it and I want to check a few things for each item i can do this with a lot of if statements but i am wondering if there's a "shorthand" way of doing it?
so is it possible to check all items in my array deaths and see which ones have GetComponent('HealthComponent')._alive == 0 ?
var deaths = [];
if (deaths[0].GetComponent('HealthComponent')._alive == 0)
{
this.GetComponent('HealthComponent')._alive = 1;
this.GetComponent('HealthComponent')._health = 0;
this.Broadcast({
topic: 'health.update',
health: 0,
maxHealth: 150,
});
var selected = this;
setTimeout(function(){
selected.GetComponent('HealthComponent')._health = 150;
selected.Broadcast({
topic: 'health.update',
health: 150,
maxHealth: 150,
});
},60000);
}
if (deaths[1].GetComponent('HealthComponent')._alive == 0)
{
this.GetComponent('HealthComponent')._alive = 1;
this.GetComponent('HealthComponent')._health = 0;
this.Broadcast({
topic: 'health.update',
health: 0,
maxHealth: 150,
});
var selected = this;
setTimeout(function(){
selected.GetComponent('HealthComponent')._health = 150;
selected.Broadcast({
topic: 'health.update',
health: 150,
maxHealth: 150,
});
},60000);
}
thanks in advance
You can use a for loop, for example:
for (let i = 0; i < deaths.length; i++) {
if (deaths[i].GetComponent('HealthComponent')._alive == 0) {
// do your stuff...
}
}
or you can use forEach() built-in method of Array, same thing but a little more declarative:
death.forEach(death => {
if (death.GetComponent('HealthComponent')._alive == 0) {
// do your stuff...
}
})
Some docs for you:
