How to save time using for statment

[qwereeer]

I want to set 30 kinds of weapons that have different name as variables.

For instance, I'd like to use variables to judge whether player

has aquired the weapons. ( 0 for not aquired, 1 for aquired)

weapon1 = 1
weapon2 = 0
weapon3 = 0
..... And so on

I don't want to repeat weapon4 weapon5 weapon6 all the way

up to weapon30 because it's waste of time.

I know this can be done fast by using for statement

but I dunno how exactly to.

Can someone show me a way to do this?

You could just store the true/false in an array

var weaponArray:Array = [true];
for( var i:int = 1; i < 31; i++ )
{
weaponArray[i] = false;
}
// Saying you've aquired first weapon, but no others.

//Then to check

for( var k:int = 0; k < 31; k++ )
{
if( weaponArray[k] )
{
unlockWeapon("weapon"+k);
}
}

Is that what you meant?

Arrays. Learn them, and learn them well.

You essentially want to create an array with 30 elements:
(also, you should use 'true' and 'false' instead of 1 and 0)

var weapons:Array = new Array(30);
weapons[0] = true; // set the first weapon to true, notice arrays begin at 0, and not 1

// set the rest to false
for (var i:int = 1; i < weapons.length; i++) {
    weapons[i] = false;
}

Then later you can do stuff like set the 15th weapon to true, as an example:

weapon[14] = true; // the 1st element is 0, therefore the 15th element is 14

And if you want, loop through them all again somewhere else and do something with each value:

for (var i:int = 0; i < weapon.length; i++) {
    // do something with 'weapon[i]'
}
