So im getting alot of 0's inside a foreach loop when i store a value into an array,Why? Is there a way to just get the points i got inside the nearpoints function. I dont want to use removevalue function cause if i get a point in the array 0 i dont want to remove it. 

vector lastpoint = point(0,"P",28);
vector pos = point(0,"P",25);
int area[] = nearpoints(0, pos,0.31);
f[]@distancenum;
i[]@areanum;

foreach(int p; area)
{
  setpointgroup(0,"TEST",p,1);
  
  vector currentpos = point(0,"P",p);
  float distancepoint = distance(lastpoint,currentpos);
  @distancenum[p] = distancepoint;
  @areanum[p] = p;
  
  
}

That's normal because you are assigning values into an array by index so the gaps are filled with 0s.

You can just store the resulting array like so:

i[]@pts = area;

Works for inter not float? distancenum is float when i do @distancenum = area; I get {25.0,1.0,2.0,4.0,5.0}, i want to store the values i get from distancepoint.
