Delete elements from array during runtime with 1d array of cluster

[Asasafuchi]

Hi, I am running LV2018 so I think I am missing that orange .vim to the left. Does it just remove duplicates from an array? Also, what is filters? Just a 1d array of clusters containing the boolean clickers and strings?

Ah, this is why it is always useful to specify your LV version in the original post.

This is the "Remove duplicates From 1D Array" vim from the Array palette, appeared in LV2020 I think.

Here is a legacy implementation instead:

Hi, I meant to say LV2018. Yes I have tried opening it and it doesnt work.

Thanks! This seems to populate the array correctly but turning the buttons on/off do not change Array 2. Are your buttons working?

Now you reset them every time as you recreate the initial cluster array. Do the init outside the loop.

Thanks! That did the trick

I assumed you mean doing like this?

No!

• You still don't initialize "Array3"…
• You don't need the Select node…
• As it is UI-handling code you should use an event structure…

I need my Array 3 because that is the array containing the clusters and strings of text. Even when initiating Array 3 outside the loop I get the issue that the buttons dont remove anything but if I use the select node it works. Would using an event structure be better? Because this seems to work.

• Move the local of array3 before the while loop to initialize Array3. Inside the loop you don't need this Select node anymore.
• Writing the data of Array3 into a local variable of Array3 is just pure Rube-Goldberg!

Yes, because you can react on user events instead of polling the UI elements…
