Increment position if string data array is different c# (Unity)

Hello guys i need a help about a scoreboard i am making here's the scoreboard i want to achieve .



I actually have 4 tables and each tables has it's own scoreboard but for this question only for table 1 is i need so here's how I am creating this kind of scoreboard

Now what i have done so far is this

Code (CSharp):

1. if (gametable_no == 1)
2.             {
3.                 for (int i = 0; i < tzPlayInfo.Instance.bc_gametable_history_list.Count; i++)
4.                 {
5.                     newString[0] += tzPlayInfo.Instance.bc_gametable_history_list[i].r;
6.                     newString[0] += ",";
7.                 }
8.                 string[] groupedString = newString[0].Split(',');
9.  
10.                 foreach (string allchars in groupedString)
11.                 {
12.                     int x = 0;
13.                     int y = 0;
14.  
15.                     GameObject o = Instantiate(prefab_big_road[0]) as GameObject;
16.                     o.transform.SetParent(pos_big_road[0]);
17.                     o.transform.localScale = Vector3.one;
18.                     o.transform.localPosition = new Vector3(2.0f, -5.0f, 0f);
19.                     o.transform.localPosition = new Vector3(o.transform.localPosition.x + x,
20.                         o.transform.localPosition.y + y, o.transform.localPosition.z);
21.  
22.  
23.                     if (allchars.Contains(playerwinnopairboth))
24.                     {
25.                         o.GetComponent<UISprite>().spriteName = "layout_player_bigline-01";
26.                         NGUITools.SetActive(o, true);
27.                     }
28.                     if (allchars.Contains(bankerwinnopairboth))
29.                     {
30.                         o.GetComponent<UISprite>().spriteName = "layout_banker_bigline-01";
31.                         NGUITools.SetActive(o, true);
32.                     }
33.                     if (allchars.Contains(tienopairboth))
34.                     {
35.                         o.GetComponent<UISprite>().spriteName = "layout_tie_bigline-01";
36.                         NGUITools.SetActive(o, true);
37.                     }
38.                 }
39.             }

This code will achieve only like this



The output is generated randomly so for example i have this output data:

Gametable 1 history : P ,P ,P ,B ,B P,P P,TBP

What i am trying to do here is that I need to know if the character is **changing** in the `gametable 1 history data`

For example: *The output must be like this*



If the value is not changing like `P ,P ,P ` then the position will only increment on y axis then if the next value is different like `B ,` then it will move to the x axis.

So my question is, Is there a way of detecting if the character on your array of string is different from the the other value?

 

It sounds like if you store the first string in a 'lastString' variable, and you begin your loop at index 1, you can compare 'lastString' to your index, and update it (lastString) as you go.

 

Just like this?

Well, ... is it working for you?

It looks like you created a slight variation, -1 x to start and storing "placeholder".

For future reference, you probably could have cut a lot of that post and still shown your changes.

 

Almost working . The problem is that the'yre all in y axis only

 

Hmm, well I would try to Debug some values here:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. if (allchars.Equals(previousValue) && table.GetLength(1) < yIndex)
3. {
4.      yIndex += 1;
5.      table[xIndex, yIndex] = allchars;
6. }
7. else
8. {
9.      xIndex += 1;
10.      yIndex = 0;
11.      table[xIndex, yIndex] = allchars;
12.  }

Maybe debug the value of x and y indexes as well as allchars and previousValue.

 

I debug it

I debug it like this sir

Code (CSharp):

1.  if (previousValue.Equals(NewPreviousValue) && table.GetLength(1) < yIndex)
2.                 {
3.                     yIndex += 1;
4.                     table[xIndex, yIndex] = previousValue;
5.                     Debug.Log("LETS PRINT THE YINDEX += 1 : " + yIndex);
6.                     Debug.Log("LETS PRINT TABLE[xIndex, yIndex] :" + table[xIndex,yIndex]);
7.                 }
8.                 else
9.                 {
10.                     xIndex += 1;
11.                     yIndex = 0;
12.                     table[xIndex, yIndex] = previousValue;
13.                     Debug.Log("LETS PRINT THE XINDEX += 1 : " + xIndex);
14.                     Debug.Log("LETS PRINT THE YINDEX = 0 :" + yIndex);
15.                     Debug.Log("LETS PRINT TABLE[xIndex, yIndex] :" + table[xIndex, yIndex]);
16.  
17.                 }

And its output is this

Gametable 1 History : P ,B ,P ,B P,P ,P

LETS PRINT THE XINDEX : 2
LETS PRINT THE YINDEX: 0
LETS PRINT THE TABLE[xIndex, yIndex] : P

LETS PRINT THE XINDEX : 3
LETS PRINT THE YINDEX: 0
LETS PRINT THE TABLE[xIndex, yIndex] : B

LETS PRINT THE XINDEX : 4
LETS PRINT THE YINDEX: 0
LETS PRINT THE TABLE[xIndex, yIndex] : P

LETS PRINT THE XINDEX : 5
LETS PRINT THE YINDEX: 0
LETS PRINT THE TABLE[xIndex, yIndex] : B P

->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

LETS PRINT THE XINDEX : 6
LETS PRINT THE YINDEX: 0
LETS PRINT THE TABLE[xIndex, yIndex] : P

LETS PRINT THE XINDEX : 7
LETS PRINT THE YINDEX: 0
LETS PRINT THE TABLE[xIndex, yIndex] : P

this should increment the yaxis because it has the same value

 

Code (CSharp):

1. if (table.GetLength(0) < xIndex)
2.                 {
3.                     break;
4.                 }
5.  
6.                 if (previousValue.Equals(newPreviousValue) && yIndex < table.GetLength(1))
7.                 {
8.                     yIndex += 1;
9.                     table[xIndex, yIndex] = previousValue;
10.                 }
11.                 else
12.                 {
13.                     xIndex += 1;
14.                     yIndex = 0;
15.                     table[xIndex, yIndex] = previousValue;
16.                 }
17.                 newPreviousValue = previousValue;

Thanks . Just missing the condition instead of table.GetLength(1) < yIndex i used this yIndex < table.GetLength(1)

 

Nice, totally missed that. Glad you got it fixed.

 

Yup . Thanks
