insert usedata to table

[NoviceWithManyProblems]

Hi, how can I insert "userdata" to table?

This doesn't work.

                someTable = {}
                table.insert(v)

"v" are elements from the "for" loop

outputChatBox(type(v))
outputChatBox(inspect(v))

output: 

userdata
elem:object[1220]0x1332b

or how can I trigger table with this objects?

You didn't passed table.

I prefer adding elements manually.

local someTable = {}
local somePed = createPed(11, 0, 0, 3)

-- 1st way, ped will be accessible via number, mostly you will need to loop whole table if there's more elements

someTable[#someTable + 1] = somePed
print(tostring(someTable[1])) -- output: ped userdata

-- 2nd way, ped will be accessible via reference

someTable[somePed] = somePed
print(tostring(someTable[somePed])) -- output: ped userdata

  ok. thx, but look at this:

local peds = {
  {...},
  {...}
}

for k,v in ipairs(peds) do
  createPed(...)
  setElementData(v, "created", true)
  setElementData(v, "name", v[5]) -- eg. "bobby"
end

for k,v in ipairs(getElementsByType("ped") do
    if getElementData(v, "created") then
      pedsToTrigger = {}
      table.insert(pedsToTrigger, v)
      triggerClientEvent(thePlayer, "someEvent", resourceRoot, pedsToTrigger)
    end
end
 
-- client side

  
addEvent("someEvent", true)
addEventHandler("someEvent", resourceRoot, function(pedsToTrigger)
      -- some gui functions
      pedGridList = guiCreateGridList(0, 0, 50, 50, false)
      if pedsToTrigger then
      	for _,v in ipairs(pedsToTrigger) do
            guiGridListAddRow(pedGridList, getElementData(v, "name"))
        end
   	  end
end)

 

why this creates me two separate gridlist instead of introducing them to one?

it looks like this:

You don't check if this gridlist exists.

About this part of code, you are destroying your server network.

for k,v in ipairs(getElementsByType("ped") do
    if getElementData(v, "created") then
      pedsToTrigger = {}
      table.insert(pedsToTrigger, v)
      triggerClientEvent(thePlayer, "someEvent", resourceRoot, pedsToTrigger)
    end
end

Trigger will be called 1 * count of peds, it's very bad. Because it could be done with just 1 trigger.

-- Client

local pedsGridlist = false

--

function customEvent(serverTable)
	if not pedsGridlist then
		pedsGridlist = guiCreateGridList(200, 100, 50, 50, false)
	end

	-- Finish your code
end
addEvent("customEvent", true)
addEventHandler("customEvent", resourceRoot, customEvent)

local peds = {
	{11, 0, 0, 3, "NPC 1"},
	{11, 0, 0, 4, "NPC 2"},
}

--

function createPeds()
	local ped = false
	local pedData = false
	local dataToSend = {}

	for i = 1, #peds do
		pedData = peds[i]

		ped = createPed(pedData[1], pedData[2], pedData[3], pedData[4])
		dataToSend[#dataToSend + 1] = {ped, pedData[5]}
	end

	setTimer(function()
		triggerClientEvent(root, "customEvent", resourceRoot, dataToSend)
	end, 1000, 1)
end
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", resourceRoot, createPeds)

Because you are creating for each event a new gridlist.

 

The following code will create a gridlist if it does not exist

if not pedGridList then
	pedGridList = guiCreateGridList(0, 0, 50, 50, false)
end
