Question Bool

[WASSIm.]

hi guys i have question. how make string boolean to boolean normaly ?. like this

"false" to false  

[IIYAMA]

you can do this:

local boolean = boolean == "true" and true or false 

Or you can make it a boolean(as you actually wanted to do it):

local boolean = loadstring("return " .. boolean)() 

But I prefer the first one, since it is faster with the same/better result.

It is better to get a boolean back then a nil, what ever happens in version 1 always returns a boolean.

that will working ?

function toboolean(bool) 
    if (bool) then 
        return loadstring("return " ..bool)() 
    end 
    return false 
end 

[IIYAMA]

no, loadstring can still return a nil variable.

but: "or false" will change a nil to a false/boolean.

boolean = nil or false 
outputChatBox(type(boolean)) 

  
function toboolean(bool) 
    if (bool) then 
        return loadstring("return " ..bool)() or false 
    end 
    return false 
end
