Trying to set a json object in a property

[mfrizzell]

I have a property called Weapons that has json objects for each weapon stored. I need to pull out one Weapon(object) and set it as a property in the property EquipedWeapon. I'm have a bit of trouble with the latter. I want each set object to overwrite the previous object but not only am I not getting that it seems that I'm not able to set the object with the correct fields. Here is what I have.

Code: Select all

[h: WeaponList = listSort(json.fields(Weapons),"A+")]

<!-- Present an input to select a Weapon to edit, or to 
add a new Weapon -->
[h:status=input(
"whichWeapon|"+WeaponList+"|Choose a Weapon to Equip|LIST|SELECT=0 VALUE=STRING"
)]
[h:abort(status)]

[h:selectedWeapon = json.get(Weapons, whichWeapon)]

[h:EquipedWeapon=json.set("{}",EquipedWeapon, selectedWeapon)]

Any help would be most welcome.

Isnt it just this?

Code: Select all

[h: WeaponList = listSort(json.fields(Weapons),"A+")]
[h:abort(input(
"whichWeapon|"+WeaponList+"|Choose a Weapon to Equip|LIST|SELECT=0 VALUE=STRING"
))]

[h:EquipedWeapon = json.get(Weapons, whichWeapon)]

It really depends on how you structured your data. If you want EquipedWeapon to hold a single object keyed to weapon name then do it like this...

Code: Select all

[h: WeaponList = listSort(json.fields(Weapons),"A+")]
[h:abort(input(
"whichWeapon|"+WeaponList+"|Choose a Weapon to Equip|LIST|SELECT=0 VALUE=STRING"
))]

[h:EquipedWeapon = json.set("", listGet(WeaponList, whichWeapon), json.get(Weapons, whichWeapon))]

Thanks for the response but I get this error on both pieces of code.

Code: Select all

Argument number 2 to function "listGet()" must be type "BigDecimal", but was passed "BattleAxe" of type "String".

I managed to get it to work by changing the last line. Here is the new code.

Code: Select all

[h: WeaponList = listSort(json.fields(Weapons),"A+")]

<!-- Present an input to select a Weapon to edit, or to 
add a new Weapon -->
[h:status=input(
"whichWeapon|"+WeaponList+"|Choose a Weapon to Equip|LIST|SELECT=0 VALUE=STRING"
)]
[h:abort(status)]

[h:selectedWeapon = json.get(Weapons, whichWeapon)]
[h:EquipedWeapon=selectedWeapon]

Thanks for your help

Ah ... stupid me, didnt noticed the input() returned the string, I expected index number. Glad you got it working.
