Return nil

[Sasu]

I made this function to check if the player is in some colshape in table.

function isPlayerWithInZone(source) 
    if source and getElementType(source) == "player" then 
        outputChatBox("TEST1", root) 
        for i,v in ipairs(SXDueloE) do 
            outputChatBox(getElementType(v[1])..", "..getElementType(v[2]), root) 
            if isElementWithinColShape(source, v[2]) then 
                theReturn = true 
                break 
            end 
        end 
    else 
        theReturn = false 
    end 
    return theReturn 
end 
  

And Here when It create the colshape

addEventHandler("onResourceStart", resourceRoot, 
function() 
    for i,v in ipairs(markerPos) do 
        local x,y,z = unpack(v) 
        local marker = createMarker(x, y, z, "cylinder", 2, 255, 0, 0, 100) 
        createBlipAttachedTo(marker, 56) 
        local col = createColSphere(x, y, z, 10) 
        SXDueloE[marker] = {marker, col} 
    end 
end) 

My question is why my function return nil?

Line 4:

for i,v in pairs(SXDueloE) do 

That should work reading the table

SXDueloE[marker] = {marker, col}

I think you didnt understand or I am wrong. I want to check in all the colshapes.

[IIYAMA]

you know ipairs can only check numeric stuff?

Why are you trying to use ipairs with a table with markers as key?

Oh, I didnt know that. So, I have to use 'pairs' ?

[IIYAMA]

yes

[Sasu]

You're right. Thank you very much.

np.

BTW:(I don't know if you know this, just as extra info)

When you want to check if a table is empty, with keys like that.

Use:

next(table) 

local myTable = { ["marker"]=true} 
  
if #myTable > 0 then 
    outputChatBox("# is working") -- no it isn't 
end 
  
if next(myTable) then 
    outputChatBox("next is working") -- yes it is 
end

I hope that this will be helpful in the future. Thank you.
