Summary
Function: list listCast( list mixedList, integer type );
Iterates through the contents of a list, producing a resulting list whose contents are cast to a single type. Please refer to llGetListEntryType() for valid types. This function is useful for converting a list to a type which is more memory efficient, or to a type that you know you are going to access a lot (in order to remove extra casting later-on).
Returns a list whose contents are all one type.
| • list | mixedList | – | The list to cast, its contents may be anything. | |
| • integer | type | – | The type of variable to cast all entries to. |
Examples
list mixed = [1, 2.0, "3", "Four", (key)"8aef4875-6873-0919-f5ab-c9d6b48d18d4"];
// Prints: 1, 2, 3, 0, 8
llOwnerSay(llList2CSV(listCast(mixed, TYPE_INTEGER)));
// Prints: 1.000000, 2.000000, 3.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000
llOwnerSay(llList2CSV(listCast(mixed, TYPE_FLOAT)));
Implementation
list listCast(list mixedList, integer type) {
list result = []; integer x = mixedList != [];
if (type == TYPE_INTEGER)
while (x)
result = [(integer)llList2String(mixedList, --x)] + result;
else if (type == TYPE_FLOAT)
while (x) {
if (llGetListEntryType(mixedList, --x) == TYPE_FLOAT) result = [llList2Float(mixedList, x)] + result;
else result = [(float)llList2String(mixedList, x)] + result;
}
else if (type == TYPE_VECTOR)
while (x) {
if (llGetListEntryType(mixedList, --x) == TYPE_VECTOR) result = [llList2Vector(mixedList, x)] + result;
else result = [(vector)llList2String(mixedList, x)] + result;
}
else if (type == TYPE_ROTATION)
while (x) {
if (llGetListEntryType(mixedList, --x) == TYPE_ROTATION) result = [llList2Rot(mixedList, x)] + result;
else result = [(rotation)llList2String(mixedList, x)] + result;
}
else if (type == TYPE_STRING)
while (x)
result = [llList2String(mixedList, --x)] + result;
else if (type == TYPE_KEY)
while (x)
result = [llList2Key(mixedList, --x)] + result;
else result = mixedList;
return result;
}
