api calculate position
Converts an index value into a point with an X and Y value to help when working with 1D arrays that represent 2D data.
CalculatePosition ( index, width )| Name | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| index | int | The position of the 1D array. |
| width | int | The width of the data if it was a 2D array. |
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| int | Returns a vector representing the X and Y position of an index in a 1D array. |
In this example, we will treat a 1D as a 2D array and convert an index into a X, Y position. Running this code will output the following:
-- A 1D array of example values
local exampleGrid = {
"A", "B", "C",
"D", "E", "F",
"G", "H", "I",
}
function Init()
-- Example Title
DrawText("CalculatePosition()", 8, 8, DrawMode.TilemapCache, "large", 15)
DrawText("Lua Example", 8, 16, DrawMode.TilemapCache, "medium", 15, -4)
local index = 4
-- Calculate the center index based on a grid with 3 columns
local position = CalculatePosition(index, 3)
-- Draw the index and value to the display
DrawText("Position " .. position.x .. ",".. position.y .. " at Index " .. index .. " is " .. exampleGrid[index], 1, 4, DrawMode.Tile, "large", 15)
end
function Draw()
-- Redraw the display
RedrawDisplay()

var index = 4;
// Calculate the center index based on a grid with 3 columns
var position = CalculatePosition(index, 3);
// Draw the index and value to the display
DrawText("Position " + position.X + "," + position.Y + " at Index " + index + " is " + exampleGrid[index], 1, 4, DrawMode.Tile, "large", 15);
}

{
// Redraw the display
