quick question about removing from lists

Okay, so i made a list named "enemies"

there are 11 different enemies in that list. When my bullet "my_bullet" hits an enemy it sets its opacity to 0%.

How can i remove the ones from my list that have an opacity of 0%? Is this even possible?

or

How can i make the ones with opacity 0% in that list do stuff (like moving) while ignoring the ones with opacity 100%?

You can remove an item with a "remove item from position <index> of <nameOfList>," which can be accessed by dragging the list from the properties window to the scripting area in Alice and clicking that option in the popup menu.

Would the same hold true for an array? I have a number of creatures that move randomly, and turn invisible when zapped. The problem is, selection of which critter is going to move next is random from an array, and the fewer visible creatures that are left, the slower they seem to move since good old RNG is now more likely to pick an invisible critter.

Thanks!

No, it wouldn't, because arrays don't have the same functions as lists do. There's a random item from list function you can use, why not use that?

OK, I answered my own question, and yes, it came to me in a dream last night. Too much Alice. :-)

You can't remove an item from an array in Alice once the program has started.

However, since I have a statement that picks a random creature from the array, I simply check to see if that creature isVisible=true. If not, I roll another random number, then go on about my program.

Viola!

I posted my reply before I saw yours, thanks for responding.

I had to use an array because the professor's assignment specified an array rather than a list.

Ah. That's too bad. In Alice, arrays are pointless, since they're just like lists, but not as functional.

Well, glad you got your problem solved anyway, good stuff.
