get image by name (from fpg)

[Grew]

Hi.I suggest a function that returns the graph number from the name of it (the name you can see in the FPg editor).
For exemple :


graph = "my_graph_name";


Bennu automatically search the identifier of the graph in the GIF assigned to the process.


Wouldn't that be wonderful?

It could be, but it could also be terrifyingly slow and unoptimized.

If you're interested in something like that, I recommend you to create a function to sort it out.

It would be something like this:

Código: [Seleccionar]

function graph_me(int file,string name);
begin
 father.file=file;
 from x=1 to 999;
  if(map_exists(file,x))
   if(MAP_GET_NAME(file,x)==name)
    return x;
   end
  end
 end
 return 0;
end

Process something();
Begin
 graph_me(fpg_character,"stand1");
End

But.... there's no function to retrieve the name of the graphic from the FPG, so that way won't directly work (I think)

maybe a function like "map_get_by_name" or "map_get" or "map_find", that use "name" as parameter...
