Compare variable with table element

[JeViCo]

Hi everyone! I have some variables which i put in table like

local table = {el1,el2,el3}

how can i compare other variable through elements in table? like

if place == el1

?

you can use ipairs/pairs loop: 

 

for i,v in pairs(table) do 
  if place == v then 
    -- some code 
   end
 end

or just use table[index]

i have a lot of variables to check in table. My event happens when player hit the marker, so it work several times

I am not sure what you want to achieve with it. But if you want to check if an element is in a table, then this is also very fast method. The elements have become the KEY of the table.

local table = {[el1] = true, [el2] = true, [el3] = true}


if table[place] then
	-- Yes it is in the table
end

 

Adding elements to the table by hand:

table[el1] = true
table[el2] = true
table[el3] = true

With this method, you can also make a reference to different data:

local table = {[el1] = {"more data"}, [el2] = {"more data"}, [el3] = {"more data"}}

local moreData = table[place]
