Switch-input based on subset of contents list?

Hi. Haven't found any examples to guide me here, and my brain's hurting.

Say usr has three objects currently in contents, each with a combat_value variable.

pistol
combat_value = 10
sword
combat_value = 5
cheese
combat_value = 0


Now, I want to prompt usr with a switch-input dialog, "Choose your weapon." I want the choices to be the set of objects currently in contents with a combat_value > 0.

I've been doing things like this to determine which contents are combat-worthy:

var/list/weapons = list()
for(var/obj/O in usr.contents)
if(0:combat_value > 0)
weapons += O

So far, so good, I've got the list "weapons." But I can't get the switch-input code to use that list as its choice list.

Any ideas? Or examples from existing code?

Much obliged!

Well, you are most of the way there. The key is to use the 'in list' arguement for the input proc. Study this:

var/obj/o = input("Choose the weapon:") in weapons
var/combat_value = o.combat_value
