How to get all items in an item list ?

DaveTheCoder
I have the ItemList on an EditorInspectorPlugin in the right Dock Inspector
And the Array on a costum node the EditorPlugin handles

How iam supossed to do this ?
iam going to have to start over, and then i will find more unsolvable problems, like adding a dictionary to an itemList

xyz

the editor plugIN
loads an instance and the EditorInspectorPlugin and creates a costum node

@tool
extends EditorPlugin

const menuScene = preload("res://menu/menu.tscn");
const tileDrawNode = preload("res://test3/tileDrawNode.gd");
const tileDrawIcon = preload("res://test3/icon.png");

#---------//---inspector---//---------
var tlDrawInspector = preload("res://addons/tiledrawtest2/tileDrawInspector.gd");

func _enter_tree():
	add_custom_type("TileDraw", "Node2D", tileDrawNode, tileDrawIcon );
	dockedScene = menuScene.instantiate();
	add_control_to_container(CONTAINER_CANVAS_EDITOR_SIDE_RIGHT, dockedScene );
	dockedScene.custom_minimum_size = Vector2(10,0);
	
	tlDrawInspector  = tlDrawInspector.new();
	tlDrawInspector.PlugInDockedScene = dockedScene;
	add_inspector_plugin(tlDrawInspector);

var TileDrawNode;

func _handles(object: Object) -> bool:
	#return object is tileDrawNode
	if ( object is tileDrawNode ):
		TileDrawNode = object;
		return true
	return false

the costum node 'tileDrawNode' draws all of this stuff in engine editor screen

@tool
extends Node2D
class_name tileDrawX1;

var layers = {
	'Lnum': [ {} ]
}

		for i in range(0, drawText.get_image().get_size().x,32 ):
			for j in range(0,  drawText.get_image().get_size().y, 32):
				
				mouseGroup.Fnum.append(  { "cords": Vector2(i, j), "img": ImageTexture.create_from_image(drawText.get_image().get_region( Rect2( i, j, 32, 32) ) ) } );


func _draw():

	for p in range(0, layerMax ):
		for i in layers.Lnum[p]:
			if ( layers.Lnum[p].has(i) ):
				draw_texture( layers.Lnum[p][i], i );

and the EditorInspectorPlugin adds a menu to the inspector with the itemList and other things

@tool
extends EditorInspectorPlugin

var itemLlist1;

func _can_handle(object):
	if object is tileDrawX1:
		PlugTileDrawNode = object;
		return true
	return false



func _parse_end(object):
	itemLlist1 = ItemList.new();
	itemLlist1.set_custom_minimum_size(Vector2(100, 90));
	itemLlist1.set( "theme_override_styles/focus",StyleBoxEmpty.new() );
	itemLlist1.select_mode = 1;

	for n in 3:
		itemLlist1.add_item("     layer " + str(n) );
	
	itemLlist1.select(0, true);
	
	var listSize = itemLlist1.get_item_count();
	for n in range( listSize-1 ):
		if ( PlugTileDrawNode.layers.Lnum.size() <  listSize  ):
			PlugTileDrawNode.layers.Lnum.append( {} ); 


func btn_UpLayer_pressed(): # move layers UP
	var listSize = itemLlist1.get_item_count();
	PlugTileDrawNode.layerMax = listSize;
	#PlugTileDrawNode.add_layers();
	
	var itemListSize = itemLlist1.get_item_count();
	var itemListSelectedItems = itemLlist1.get_selected_items();
	
	for n in itemListSize:
		if ( itemListSelectedItems.has(n) && n >= 1 ):
			if ( itemListSelectedItems[0] != 0 ):
				#itemLlist1.move_item(n, n - 1);
				itemLlist1.move_item(itemListSelectedItems[0], n - 1);
				
				var a1 = PlugTileDrawNode.layers.Lnum[n-1];
				var a2 = PlugTileDrawNode.layers.Lnum[n];
				PlugTileDrawNode.layers.Lnum[n] = a1;
				PlugTileDrawNode.layers.Lnum[n-1] = a2;

This things cant communicate with one an other... I have to pass them on to the other using a var.
If i had an itemList on both sides the result would be the same

EditorInspectorPlugin, doesnt have proccess() nor ready() the user selects the options there...
And putting this layers.Lnum in an itemList i dont know if its possible, i dont know whats going on inside an itemList ?
I dont know if its an array or sometimes its already an array, drawing the list in the draw function could be possible i just dont know how.

So the ItemList represents your layers array?

yes
but itemList only returns an array with get_selected_items()

if i could get all the items on itemlist without having them selected maybe it could use it with the array on the other side
[edit] in the func process() also on the other side since EditorInspectorPlugin doesnt have process(), but it leads to a lot of confusion i have buttons to add and remove (layers)

p.s. chatGPT creates a loop

xyz
I wanted to get an array from itemList
and set the layers.Lnum array on the other side, to be equal to that array

The problem is i have buttons to move items up or down, and to add or remove items
I dont know how to make an array out of itemList without having to update it on all the buttons, and copy / paste all the layers multiple times, even if its possible it would be a waste to have 2 vars for each item... itemList would only function has a picture

xyz

An array of all items in the list would be equivalent to what is returned by range(0, item_list.item_count). That's why I above said that this array is implicit. You always know/have this array.

Ok great,
But how would i do to create this array from the itemList ?

var arr = itemlist1.range(0, item_list.item_count) ?

do the indexes also change in this array when moving layers up and down ?
I think godot cant move values in an array, iam not sure how its moving them in itemList

MikeCL Let's stay focused on the OP and not turn this discussion into an argument.

Its fine by me ( sometimes its me being hammered by an admin ) noone is arguing chatGPT most of the times creates a loop mixes java with everthing ( iam no sure )...
but the answers and replies seem to run on a loop until you are forced to ask the same question again... but sometimes it gets it right
