how can I only retrieve an element from var arrays one at a time in an arranged number?

no math.random pls

 

[EliteGM]

What exactly do you mean by an arranged number?

loop over the array indexes

Ultimately the best way for you to iterate over the array depends on what kind of content you have in there - e.g. whether they're meant to repeat or be used only once, but here's one approach assuming messages are something that appear at random times and do get shown only once.

How can make it infinite loop? Haven't check the codes tho

am looking for something that works like this

however, I don't wish to include an additional script. Looking for a pure direct jquery method.

Just code that damn ring buffer yourself, it'll do good for you.

For an extremely naive solution though that will work in 10 seconds (that you should not consider a proper implementation and never quote on me telling you to write it like that), on every iteration just shift out the first element from the array and when you're done with it just push it back to the end of the array. (like that:

Let me repeat, it's a bad solution in the general case because it has has terrible performance implications AND it's extremely vulnerable to concurrency issues should it be implemented on a platform that supports concurrent executions.

i bet this one is better right?

Better in what terms? Sure it can be void of the theoretical performance issue depending on the implementation of jQuery's find and/or CSS selectors - in this case I doubt it is.

What's more troubling to me is that now your responsibilities are all messed up as you're using the view as data storage, and note this is what you should worry about rather than what I said above if you want to write better code. Besides, it will break as soon as you add or remove elements or fiddle with timings so you have a maintainability issue there. It's a pretty sweet hack you have there though I'll give you that
