'g_MapInfo' Problem

[FSXTim]

Hello,

I have a problem with my script. Please have a look.

outputChatBox ("#FFFFFF|INFO| #00CD00Aktuelle Map: < #FFFFFF"..getMapName().."#00CD00 > by <#FFFFFF"..g_MapInfo.author.." 00CD00>", player, 0, 205, 0, true) 

Error: attempt to index global 'g_MapInfo' (a nil value)

Sorry, Sir, I posted the wrong script, please have a look again.

Does the map have an author?

[FSXTim]

Sure, it has!

But renember, this is the error: attempt to index global 'g_MapInfo' (a nil value)

And not that: attempt to index global 'g_MapInfo.author' (a nil value)

Greets

[Jaysds1]

Where's g_MapInfo defined?

Is it in another resource?

[FSXTim]

Okay,

I put the script into [race]/race/

And the maps are here: [race]/[maps]

I didn't define 'g_MapInfo'

Greets

[Jaysds1]

Where did you get it from?

I don't know any resource with this...

[FSXTim]

Ressource: Race

'g_MapInfo.author': The Author name of a map

Greets

[Jaysds1]

ok, I'll edit this again when I get more info from the race resource...

BTW, What race script did you found it in?

I don't know, Sir, what do you exactly want to know?

Greets

[FSXTim]

I didn't found it, it's my own script, when a player enter the game, than the ChatBox says:

... map name ... and ... author of the map .. (actual map)

Greets

[Jaysds1]

so, How do you get the map author?

if the g_MapInfo is not defined.

[FSXTim]

I think is the problem, how do I have to define it?

Greets

[Jaysds1]

You could either put it as a function or local it, exmaple:

g_MapInfo("author") 
function g_MapInfo(string) 
    if(string=="author")then 
        for i,v in ipairs(getResources())do 
            if(getResourceState(v)=="running")then 
                if(getResourceInfo(v,"type")==map)then 
                    return getResourceInfo(v,"author") 
                    break; 
                end 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end

That's wrong Jaysds1, this doesn't do what he wants.

I think you can do that:

function getAuthorFromMap ( pMap ) 
    if ( pMap ) then 
        return getResourceInfo ( pMap, 'author' ); 
    end 
end 
  
-- 
  
getAuthorFromMap ( getResourceFromName ( getMapName ( ) ) ); 
  
return: 
  
-- map author 

[Jaysds1]

oh, thanks for correcting me, I was in a rush, anyways, I'll brb

[FSXTim]

            g_MapInfo("author") 
            function g_MapInfo(string) 
                if(string=="author")then 
                    for i,v in ipairs(getResources())do 
                        if(getResourceState(v)=="running")then 
                            if(getResourceInfo(v,"type")==map)then 
                                return getResourceInfo(v,"author") 
                                outputChatBox ("#FFFFFF|INFO| #00CD00Aktuelle Map: < #FFFFFF"..getMapName().."#00CD00 > by <#FFFFFF"..g_MapInfo.author.." 00CD00>", player, 0, 205, 0, true)                                 
                                break; 
                            end 
                        end 
                    end 
                end 
            end 

I will test it! (added outputCHatBox())

[Anderl]

Stop copy + paste. That will never work.

Jaysds1, at line 6 is wrong.

FSXTim, your code is wrong.

[arezu]

function getRunningMapAuthor() 
    local runningMap = exports.mapmanager:getRunningGamemodeMap() 
    if not runningMap then return end 
    return getResourceInfo(runningMap, "author") 
end 
outputChatBox ("#FFFFFF|INFO| #00CD00Aktuelle Map: < #FFFFFF"..getMapName().."#00CD00 > by <#FFFFFF"..(getRunningMapAuthor() or "N/A").." 00CD00>", player, 0, 205, 0, true) 

[FSXTim]

Thanks at all!
