How to remove an item at index from an array in Verse?

Sorry for the noob question, but I can’t wrap my head around the way Verse works, I can’t even do the simplest things.

I want to remove an item from an array of item spawners at index 0. I tried this:
set ItemSpawners = array{ItemSpawners[1]..ItemSpawners[Length-1]}

I also tried it with a temporary array, copying values one by one in a for loop.
I couldn’t get it working. As far as I know there’s no remove or delete functions.

Managed to get it work like this:

var TempArray : []item_spawner_device = array{}
for(i := 1..ItemSpawners.Length-1):
    if(e := ItemSpawners[i]):
        set TempArray = TempArray + array{e}
set ItemSpawners = TempArray

You can remove an item from an array using (InputArray:[]t).RemoveElementAt(IndexToRemove:int):[]t. This returns a new copy of the array with the element removed.

Here is an example usage:

var MyDeviceArray:[]creative_device = array{}

if (NewArray := MyDeviceArray.RemoveElement[0]):
    set MyDeviceArray = NewArray

Thank you. Somehow this escaped my attention.

The functions are implemented as extension methods on []t which I’ve found aren’t discoverable as part of our API documentation. I’ve flagged this to the documentation team so we can make improvements here in the future.

Well, It’s not accesible now. Is there any other link to check the extension methods?

they are in the Verse module:

seems like the list of functions on the page is actually incomplete, but the list in the sidebar is more complete
