Help! Tables!

.:HyPeX:. · February 16, 2014

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.

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

Did you get any error ?

Try this:

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?

  
  
VotedTable = {} 
  
function OnMapStart(MapName) 
RedoVotemapName = MapName 
for v,i in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
VotedTable[v] = nil

if not Restarted then 
outputChatBox("#00aaff[Vote#00cc55Redo]: #00aaffNow enabled!", getRootElement(), 255,255,255,true)

end 
end 
  
function onMapStart2() 
if AlreadyDone then 
AlreadyDone = nil 
end 
end 
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", getRootElement(), onMapStart2) 
  
function onMapStart1(MapName) 
if AlreadyDone then 
return end 
AlreadyDone = true 
OnMapStart(MapName) 
end 
addEvent("RedoVoteInfo",true) 
addEventHandler("RedoVoteInfo", getRootElement(), onMapStart1) 
  
function VoteRedo(player,cmd) 
if not VotedTable[player] then

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:. · February 16, 2014

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 
Restarted = nil 
ClearNext = nil 
end 
if not Restarted then 
outputChatBox("#00aaff[Vote#00cc55Redo]: #00aaffNow enabled!", getRootElement(), 255,255,255,true) 
else 
ClearNext = true 
outputChatBox("#00aaff[Vote#00cc55Redo]: #00aaffRedo Already done, #00cc55disabling votes!", getRootElement(), 255,255,255,true) 
end 
end 
  
function onMapStart2() 
if NextRedoSet then 
NextRedoSet = nil 
end 
if AlreadyDone then 
AlreadyDone = nil 
end 
end 
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", getRootElement(), onMapStart2) 
  
function onMapStart1(MapName) 
if AlreadyDone then 
return end 
AlreadyDone = true 
OnMapStart()

end

addEventHandler("RedoVoteInfo", getRootElement(), onMapStart1)

end

if voteCount >= NeededCount then 
local mapName = RedoVotemapName 
if not NextRedoSet then 
NextRedoSet = true 
local redoMap = RedoMap 
AddMap2("apanel", redoMap, true) 
end 
end 
else 
outputChatBox("#00aaff[Vote#00cc55Redo]: #00aaffYou Already #66ffaaVoted!", player, 255,255,255,true) 
end 
  
end 
addCommandHandler("vr", VoteRedo, false,false) 
  
function RedoVoteMap(map) 
if RedoSet then 
return end 
  
if #mapQueue == 0 then 
outputChatBox("#00aaff[Panel]: Next Map set for Redo", getRootElement(), 255,255,255,true) 
else

end 
RedoSet = true 
table.insert(mapQueue, 1, mapName) 
callClientFunction(getRootElement(),"updateMapQueueList",mapQueue) 
end 
  
  
-- Buy a next map 
function AddMap2(thePlayer,mapName,command) 
        local account = getAccount("apanel") 
        if not (isGuestAccount(account)) then 
            local playerCash = tonumber(getAccountData(account,"cash")) 
            if not (mapName == "") then 
            if playerCash >= 0 then 
                    if command then 
                        mapName = getMapName(mapName) 
                    else 
                        mapName = tostring(mapName) 
                    end 
                        table.insert(mapQueue,1,mapName) 
                        local freeMaps = tonumber(getAccountData(account,"freeMaps")) 
                        if freeMaps ~= 0 then 
                            addStat(account,"freeMaps",-1) 
                        else 
                        setAccountData(account,"cash",playerCash - 0) 
                        end 
                        addStat(account,"buyedMaps",1) 
                        setTimer(resetMapTimer,900000,1,mapName) 
                        outputChatBox("#00aaff[Panel]: Map ".. mapName .." was set for redo!", getRootElement(), 255,255,255,true)

                else 
                showServerMsg(thePlayer,"Add Queue","#FFFFFFYou don't have enough money to set a map!") 
                end 
            else 
            showServerMsg(thePlayer,"Add Queue","#FFFFFFPlease select a map from the list first!") 
            end 
        end 
end

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

Mega9 · February 17, 2014

Used to round decimal numbers

math.ceil

ixjf · February 17, 2014

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:. · February 17, 2014

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
