How to manage flags

[IIYAMA]

I have a problem with manage flags. After I store them in a table they got changed to a number and I can't use them any more. Even if I change them to a string, I also have to change them back to a number to use them again.

  
addEventHandler( "onResourceStart", resourceRoot, 
function () 
        flagSetInData(33,1,0x000010) 
end) 
  
local flagState = {"pro","std","poor"} 
function flagSetInData(weapon,state,flag) 
    setWeaponProperty(weapon,flagState[state],flag) 
end 

Bad argument @ 'setWeaponProperty' [Expected weapon-property at argument 3, got number '32']

Lua assumes 0x000010 is a number (it's the hexadecimal value of 16). I don't know if there is any other way to use 0x000010 in a table without converting it to a string, sorry for not helping much.

Even if I write it like this:

local A= 0x000010 

it will lose it's correct value.

Sure, as I said above, '0x000010' is a hexadecimal value (its the HEX value of 16).

0x000010 is a number. 0x000010 is 16. Debugscript clearly says what the problem is. You missed the property name (should be "flags") in your case and used the value (which should be the 4th argument) in its place.
