ds_queue_dequeue

Dequeues the value from the head of the queue.

Syntax:

ds_queue_dequeue(id);


Argument Description
id The id of the queue to dequeue from.


Returns: Real or String


Description

This function will dequeue the head value off of the ds_queue, removing it from the queue and returning the value to be stored in a variable.


Example:

if !ds_queue_empty(move_queue)
   {
   var xx, yy;
   xx = ds_queue_dequeue(move_queue);
   yy = ds_queue_dequeue(move_queue);
   move_towards_point(xx, yy, 4);
   }

The above code checks the ds_queue indexed in the variable "move_queue" to see if it is empty, and if it is not, it then dequeues the two values from the head of the queue and use them to set a direction for movement.
