How to do this on LUA?

[TopAz]

  
for(new i = 0; i < 50; i++)

You want to do a for-loop? if so:

for i=0, 50 do 
     print ( tostring ( i ) ) 
end 

[TopAz]

And also does the counting of LUA starts from 1?

With i=0 it starts counting at 0, so it will be executed 51 times.

No, I mean on PAWN the positive integer starts from 0 as of the arrays but in LUA it seems otherwise after an experiment on tables. Does it occurs every time that Lua starts counting from 1?

Lua table indices start from 1, although you can still assign value to table[0] but in for loops that use ipairs or pairs, the first index (0) will not be counted, so start your table from 1.

t = { 
    [0] = 0; 
    [1] = 1; 
    [2] = 2; 
} 
  

  
for i, _ in pairs( t ) do 
    print( i )  
end 
--[[ 
0 
1 
2 
]] 
  

  
for i, _ in ipairs( t ) do  
    print( i )  
end 
--[[ 
1 
2 
]] 
  

pairs loop all indexes in table. ipairs loop only number indexes and only in order.

  
t = 
{ 
    [1] = 1; 
    [3] = 3; 
    [4] = 4; 
} 
  
for i, _ in ipairs( t ) do  
    print( i )  
end 
  
--[[ 
1 
]]

Thank you 50p and Kenix. I'm loving LUA more than PAWN.

[Kenix]

No problem.

Lua has more understandable code, if not less code required by PRAWN.

Yeah, I see.
