Hi all,
CELUA.TXT says:

Code:

getElement(index): Returns a structureElement object (Changing offsets can change the index)

I want to adjust the offset of each element in the structure with a fixed offset programmatically.
I do this with a 'for' loop iterating through each element - getElement(i).
How do I freeze the indexes so I can make sure I apply the offset change to each element once and only once?

Thank you!

PS.
I might be going on about this wrong with a 'for' loop, please let me know if there's a better alternative.
An internal ChangeOffsets() member would be best that does it quickly as there may be quite a lot of members, some even with the same offset.
Thank you!

Iterate over the elements twice:

Code:

local s = getStructure(0)

s.beginUpdate()

local elements = {}

for i = 0, s.Count - 1 do
elements[#elements+1] = s.getElement(i)
end

for i,v in ipairs(elements) do
-- update offsets here
end

s.endUpdate()
