Get the highest variable - Voting System - jamiesage123 - 10.11.2011

Hey,

I'm in need of some help,

I'm basically making a voting system. I have ten different variables which are +1'd every time someone picks it (Its also on a timer for 35 seconds). At the end of the timer i want it to output the highest voted variable.

Voting starts:

pawn Код:

//foreach(Player, i) { etc...
ShowPlayerDialog(i, DIALOG_VOTE, DIALOG_STYLE_LIST, "Vote", "Variable 1\nVariable 2\nVariable 3\nVariable 4\nVariable 5\nVariable 6\nVariable 7\nVariable 8\nVariable 9\nVariable 10", "Vote", "Cancel");
voting = 1;
SetTimer("VoteTimer", 35000, false);

pawn Код:

//public OnDialogResponse(playerid, dialogid, response, listitem, inputtext[])
//...
        case DIALOG_VOTE:
        {
            switch(listitem) {
                case 0:
                {
                    if(voting == 0)
                        return SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_GREY, "Voting time has already eneded!");
                    variableOne++;
                }
                case 1:
                {
                    if(voting == 0)
                        return SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_GREY, "Voting time has already eneded!");
                    variableTwo++;
                }
                case 2:
                {
                    if(voting == 0)
                        return SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_GREY, "Voting time has already eneded!");
                    variableThree++;
                }
                case 3:
                {
                    if(voting == 0)
                        return SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_GREY, "Voting time has already eneded!");
                    variableFour++;
                }
//(etc...)

pawn Код:

public VoteTimer()
{
voting = 0;
GameTextForAll("Voting time has ended.", 5000, 1);

/*

Here is where i want to output the highest vote (variable).

However, i do have to check if the results are even, then i can just do random();

*/
}

I searched for a solutions yesterday, but i couldn't find any.

I'm not totally sure if this is the best way to do it, but it was the first thing which i thought of doing :P

Any help will be much appreciated,

Thanks : )

I'd do something like this:

pawn Код:

new highestVariableValue, highVariable;

if(variableOne > highestVariableValue) {
    highestVariableValue = variableOne;
    highVariable = 1;
}

if(variableTwo > highestVariableValue) {
    highestVariableValue = variableTwo;
    highVariable = 2;
}

if(variableThree > highestVariableValue) {
    highestVariableValue = variableThree;
    highVariable = 3;
}

if(variableFour > highestVariableValue) {
    highestVariableValue = variableFour;
    highVariable = 4;
}

But I'm sure there's a better way.

Ah thank you so much!

I've also done the checking thing (in-case anyone else has the same problem) by putting the variables into an array (new variable[10]) and then looping through all the variables with for(new i = 1; i < sizeof(variable); i++) and then using 'break;' if it finds two variables which equal each other.
