Help! Tables!

[.:HyPeX:.]

Hello guys, i got a table where i insert upcoming maps, now, if i want to insert a new map ontop of all of them (on place 1) and move all the rest down, how can i do this?

Better explained:

MapQueue Table:

#1 - Map One

#2 - Map Two

#3 - Map Three

After command:

#1 - New Map

#2 - Map One

#3 - Map Two

#4 - Map Three

Thanks in advance,

HyPeX

Just a quick update, i found out i can specify a pos at the table and it will automatically move other values down, and now i wana know wich is the minimum value in the table, 0 or 1?

  
table.insert (table, [pos,] value)

Everything in Lua are 1 based (and not 0 based like C for example)

Im facing a problem, how i can find the map name with the event onMapStarting from race gamemode?

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Resource:Race

I tried mapInfo.name, but it didnt worked.

[Citizen]

mapInfo.name should work, show me how you did it.

for v,i in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
VotedTable[v] = nil 
end 
PlayerCount = getPlayerCount() 
NeededCountPre = #PlayerCount / 100

Did you get any error ?

Try this:

    end 
    NeededCountPre = getPlayerCount() / 100 
    NeededCount = NeededCountPre * 60 
    if ClearNext then 
        Restarted = nil 
        ClearNext = nil

No errors, aparently it worked only from client side and sending a trigger to server side, now im facing the trouble of making the table work, it is not counting the votes. (You cant vote again)

PS: your code doesnt do anything at all.

Bump, i did this work perfectly, with a single exception, i cant seem to be able to count the table, wich is driving me crazy as fk.

Im blocked to vote again, it says you already voted, but #Table displays 0.

wth is going on here?

No errors, aparently it worked only from client side and sending a trigger to server side, now im facing the trouble of making the table work, it is not counting the votes. (You cant vote again)

PS: your code doesnt do anything at all.

First, it must be a server side script (you were talking about client side so I'm not sure).

Then, my code was supposed to write:

Starting map:

in the chatbox, didn't it ?

For the vote, it's maybe because you should reset it properly. Try to replace this:

for v,i in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
    VotedTable[v] = nil 
end 

by this:

VotedTable = {} 

Not sure if it was the problem though.

_________________________

(oh you wrote another post)

Im blocked to vote again, it says you already voted, but #Table displays 0.

When you are "inserting" rows into a table using specific key (here the player element) the # will always return 0 (except if you use table.insert or using numbers as key)

The only way to get the real length is by doing a function like this:

function tablelength(t) 
  local count = 0 
  for _ in pairs(t) do 
    count = count + 1 
  end 
  return count 
end 

so:

voteCount = #VotedTable 

will become:

voteCount = tablelength(VotedTable) 

Hope it will fix ur script.

[.:HyPeX:.]

The client side Just outputs correctly the name:

  
function handleMapInfo(mapInfo) 
    name            = mapInfo.name or "Unknown" 
    triggerServerEvent("RedoVoteInfo",getRootElement(),name) 
    outputChatBox("Map: ".. name, 0,175,255,true) 
    end 
addEventHandler("onClientMapStarting",getRootElement(), handleMapInfo) 
  

But, then, when it is set by voteredo, map name is unknow.. idk why:

Server side:

  
  
VotedTable = {} 
VotedTable2= {} 
  
function OnMapStart(mapName) 
RedoSet = nil 
VotedTable = {} 
VotedTable2 = {} 
if ClearNext then

ClearNext = nil 
end 
if not Restarted then

end 
     

Also, the 60% of players gives most times a decimal number, how can i round it up or down?

[Mega9]

Used to round decimal numbers

math.ceil 

[ixjf]

Just a quick update, i found out i can specify a pos at the table and it will automatically move other values down, and now i wana know wich is the minimum value in the table, 0 or 1?

  
table.insert (table, [pos,] value) 
  

There is no real minimum index you can specify for a table, but table functions will only count from 1 onwards (table.insert, ipairs, ...).

[.:HyPeX:.]

Found out in the end that the script was not compatible with adding an object ontop, so i simply now add it on the last place and it works perfectly
