TLists

I have a TList of objects which is looped over to draw them, but I wasn't sure how to remove an item, at first I was using the_list.remove self (as a method), but I had to settle with getting the link, and then removing that. But if I use the_list.contains(the_object), it returns true, but I know the the loop of the list didn't get it, what's going on?

Perhaps I simple don't understand what these commands do.

Without a code showing what you did, it sounds like you forgot some points of your code as the described thing should work. (assumed that self is the same object as the_object) (you could use self there as well)

Ok, sorry about the lack of information:

Function update_all()	
	Local a:TObject
	
	For a = EachIn object_list		
		a.update()
			
	Next
	
End Function

Method Destroy()			
	object_index[self.index].link.remove

	If object_list.contains(Self) Then Notify "Gah"
				
End Method

"Gah" always shows, yet the removed objects are never looped through again.

I think it should be:

Method Destroy()			
	object_list.Remove(Self)
	If object_list.contains(Self) Then Notify "Gah"
End Method

Gah is still notified with that, how exactly does 'contains' work?

Have you been fiddeling around with the internal structures of the linked list? Because that works:

Global object_list:TList = CreateList()

o1:TTest = New TTest
object_list.AddLast o1

o2:TTest = New TTest
object_list.AddLast o2

o3:TTest = New TTest
object_list.AddLast o3

For o:TTest = EachIn object_list
	Print "Obj: " + o.ToString()
Next

o1.Destroy()
o2.Destroy()
o3.Destroy()

For o:TTest = EachIn object_list
	Notify "Obj: " + o.ToString()
Next

Type TTest
	Method Destroy()			
		object_list.Remove(Self)
		If object_list.contains(Self) Then Notify "Gah"
	End Method
EndType

'Contains(val:Object)' traverses all TLinks within the linked list and returns True when the value of one of them matches 'val'.
