Table - get first result

[spAik]

Hi, i want to download files in the background. For this I first found the mta 1.4 function downloadFile. As I dont use 1.4 yet, i used the communityresource downloadFile. It works. But if I use it with ipairs it just downloads all files at once, which causes big lags on my local svr. So I just want it to start downloading the first file which is not yet in the client resources and then stop the ipairs loop after the first result. Is that possible?

local Files = { 
":admin3R/client/images/warning.png", 
":admin3R/client/images/error.png", 
":admin3R/client/images/question.png", 
":admin3R/client/images/info.png", 
":admin3R/client/images/dot.png", 
":admin3R/client/images/search.png", 
":admin3R/client/images/dropdown.png", 
":admin3R/client/images/colorscheme.png", 
":admin3R/client/images/empty.png", 
":admin3R/client/colorpicker/sv.png", 
":admin3R/client/colorpicker/cursor.png", 
":admin3R/client/colorpicker/blank.png", 
":admin3R/client/colorpicker/h.png", 
}  
   
function downloadFiles () 
for i, data in ipairs(Files) do 
    if not fileExists(data) then 
        downloadFile(data,data,500) 
    end 
end 
end 
  
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", getRootElement(), downloadFiles) 
addEventHandler("onClientFileDownloadComplete", getRootElement(), downloadFiles)

"return".

Below line 20 put "return"

It stops the function.

You clearly do not know how to script so get out unless you're asking for help.

Ignore him. His code is wrong.

@spAik

cheers for 1.4 when it comes out!

    until result or downloadIndex > #Files -- if those conditions are true, it will stop looping.
