Help - Unpack

[manve1]

I tried using unpack function for createObject and when i use the unpack function for marker it work, but it doesn't for createObject, so i need help to know how to make it:

local lol =  
{ 
    { 2289, 2494.0295410156, -1674.1334228516, 12.335947036743 } 
} 
  
local s = createObject(unpack(lol)) 

[Anderl]

for key, value in ipairs( lol ) do 
    createObject( unpack( value ) ); 
end

You're welcome.

How can i get object's position?

[Anderl]

You can save object elements in a table and get their position with getElementPosition.

E.g.

local pObjects = {}; 
local pTable = 
{ 
    { 2289, 2494.0295410156, -1674.1334228516, 12.335947036743 }; 
}; 
  
for key, value in ipairs( pTable ) do 
    pObjects[key] = createObject( unpack( value ) ); 
end 
  
-- 
  
local string = string.format( "Object's X: %d, Y: %d, Z: %d", getElementPosition( pObjects[1] ) ); 
outputChatBox( string, root, 255, 255, 255, false ); 

An easier way is: create the object inside the table.

local pTable = 
{ 
    createObject( 2289, 2494.0295410156, -1674.1334228516, 12.335947036743 ); 
};

i got the table bit, but i haven't got how the getElementPosition should look, because when i try to get the objects position it just debugs bad argument

[Anderl]

Show the code.

[manve1]

alright, it worked, it might have been my mistake, but how can i attach a collision shape to an specific object?

local collision = createColCuboid( 2493.25, -1675.25, 12.335947036743, 1.25, 2, 1 ) 
local string = string.format( "Object's X: %d, Y: %d, Z: %d", getElementPosition( present[1] ) ); 
attachElements( collision, present ) 

[Anderl]

Is present a table? You can't use a table as if it was an element, you must either call the object element by index or doing a for loop.

[manve1]

yes, it is a table, so how could i make a loop? or get it by index?

[Anderl]

You must either know the exact index ( number ) or create the objects with indexes as strings for easily get it, but then I don't know why would there be a table.

Well, I want to make like from a table objects and i need them to have separate col shape, so when player hits it some stuff happens, but the problem is that when i try to attach them to each other i can't, and I'm using table because i will need to create loads of objects and i think that will speed up things ... and take a lot less space.

local present = {} 
  
local gifts =  
{ 
    { 2289, 2494.0295410156, -1674.1334228516, 12.335947036743 } 
} 
  
for key, value in ipairs( gifts ) do 
    present[key] = createObject( unpack( value ) ); 
end 
  
  
local collision = createColCuboid( 2493.25, -1675.25, 12.335947036743, 1.25, 2, 1 ) 
local string = string.format( "Object's X: %d, Y: %d, Z: %d", getElementPosition( present[1] ) ); 
attachElements( collision, present ) 

^

that's how the script is looking

Use multi dimensional tables to store objects & its respective colshape arguments.

[manve1]

sorry for asking, but what do you mean?

[Anderl]

Create a table which will contain two tables: One with object function's arguments and one with its respective colshape arguments.

[manve1]

but, if i do something like this:

local gifts =  
{ 
    objects = 
    { 
        { 2289, 2494.0295410156, -1674.1334228516, 12.335947036743 }; 
    }, 
     
    colshapes = 
    { 
        { 2493.25, -1675.25, 12.335947036743, 1.25, 2, 1 }; 
    } 
}; 
  
for key, value in ipairs( gifts.objects ) do 
    present = createObject( unpack( value ) ); 
end 
  
for key, value in ipairs( gifts.colshapes ) do 
    colshape = createColCuboid( unpack( value ) ); 
end 

I made it, but how i attach the object to col shape?

local gifts =  
{ 
    objects = 
    { 
        { 2289, 2494.0295410156, -1674.1334228516, 12.335947036743 }; 
    }, 
     
    colshapes = 
    { 
        { 2493.25, -1675.25, 12.335947036743, 1.25, 2, 1 }; 
    } 
}; 
  
for key, value in ipairs( gifts.objects ) do

end 
  
for key, value in ipairs( gifts.colshapes ) do 
    colshape = createColCuboid( unpack( value ) ); 
end

No, not that. You create two tables inside ONE table, that's what is a multi dimensional table.
