[HELP] Gridlist and Tables

ViRuZGamiing · July 4, 2014

Hello,

I'm not just going to ask to resolve my problem, because I probably will myself.

I just would like an explanation of tables and how I get all the data from a table filled in a gridlist.

as far as I know I need to use;

--table creation first 
  
guiCreateGridList 
guiGridListAddColumn 
guiGridListAddRow 
guiGridListSetItemText --here's the problem, how to call the table?

Regards ViRuZ

From assuming I know what you mean, you just have to use a loop for the table and in each index of the loop use guiCreateGridListRow and guiGridListSetItemText.

ViRuZGamiing · July 4, 2014

Yes okay I understand what you are trying to say, I saw it in some examples on the Wiki too.

but I don't quiet understand looping.

it's something like;

for i, v in ipairs (tables) do

still if this right I don't understand it.

What's the "i", the "v" and the "ipairs"?

Thx in advance

You can do it like this:

tTable = { 
"Row0", --Table index 1 
"Row1", --Table index 2 
"Row2", --Table index 3 
"Row3", --Table index 4 
"Row4", --Table index 5 
"Row5" --Table index 6 
} 
  
function fill() --Make the function 
    local gList = guiCreateGridList(50, 50, 500, 500, false) --Make a grid list 
    local col = guiGridListAddColumn(gList, "Column Name", 1) --Make a column 
    for placeNumber, textData in ipairs(tTable) do --Make a loop, for every index that is in the table, do the next code: 
        local row = guiGridListRow(gList) --Add a row in the gridlist 
        guiGridListSetItemText(gList, row, col, textData, false, false) --Set the text in the row 
    end --'End' the loop 
end --'End' the function 
  
fill()

(Quick example, not tested, but it is about how to do it anyway )

ViRuZGamiing · July 4, 2014

Okay i'll try to apply this in my code, Thank you.

but can you explain just this part

placeNumber, textData

The reason I don't understand it is because it's nowhere in the code defined.

like;

placeNumber =

Et-win · July 4, 2014

Good, how to explain that...

placeNumber = (in this case) the entry which is being checked now.

textData = the 'data' (can be a table, code, text, etc.) which he gets in this entry from the table.

(My explanation sucks )

placeNumber = (in this case) the entry which is being checked now.

textData = the 'data' (can be a table, code, text, etc.) which he gets in this entry from the table.

haha thx for trying, maybe someone else can explain it who's more experienced on the "Tables and Loops" part.

EDIT: Anyhow, thx Et-win you're loop worked fine. I would assume the data works the same.

Example 2, I want a table in a table and get texts out of it:

tTable = { --Let's make some tables in a table 
    {"Row0", "This is my row0 string"} --Index 1 of 'tTable', this has a table. This table has "Row0" in the first index of this table, with a text in the second index 
    {"Row1", "Hello world"} 
    {"Row2", "Test123"} 
    {"Row3", "Monkey's"} 
    {"Row4", "Row4"} 
    {"Row5", "Lollol"} 
} 
  
function fill() 
    local gList = guiCreateGridList(50, 50, 500, 500, false) --Make a grid list 
    local col1 = guiGridListAddColumn(gList, "Column 1", 0.45) --Make column 1 
    local col2 = guiGridListAddColumn(gList, "Column 2", 0.45) --Make column 2 
    for placeNumber --[[index number of the 'tTable' table in this case]], tableData --[[He gets the table which is on that index (In this case)]] in ipairs(tTable) do 
        --I want the first index of the table (tableData) in column 1, and the second index in column 2 
        local row = guiGridListAddRow(gList) 
        guiGridListSetItemText(gList, row, col1, tableData[1], false, false) 
        guiGridListSetItemText(gList, row, col2, tableData[2], false, false) 
        --'tableData[1]' means: Get index 1 of the table. 
        --'tableData[2]' means: Get index 2 of the table. 
        --Etc. 
    end --'End' the loop 
end --'End' the function 
  
fill()

EDIT: I know how everything works, but I can't explain it really good in English.

How can I get the textData[2] and then use it as a setVehicleColor

Et-win · July 4, 2014

{"Red", 255, 0, 0} 
setVehicleColor(theVehicle, textData[2], textData[3], textData[4])

ViRuZGamiing · July 4, 2014

too bad it did not work, and it does too.

I did the setVehicleColor(theVehicle, textData[2], textData[3], textData[4]) but the car gets set black instead of red.

for placeNumber, textData in ipairs(tTable) do 
        local selectedRow, selectedColumn = guiGridListGetSelectedItem(colorList) 
        local colorData = guiGridListGetItemData(colorList, selectedRow, selectedColumn) 
        setVehicleColor ( theVehicle, textData[2], textData[3], textData[4] )

Logical. He is going to set the vehicle's color for every color that is in the table. The last color in the table is 'Light Pink' so that color will be set.

ViRuZGamiing · July 4, 2014

how do I set the selected color then? first time using gridlists.

Et-win · July 4, 2014

First of all set this:

local vehColor = getVehicleColor ( theVehicle ) 
--To: 
vehColor = getVehicleColor ( theVehicle )

If you put it local, the code on line 106 will not be able to read it.

You will need to make another function which detects when you click on a the gridlist (onClientGUIClick), then set the vehicle's color.

ViRuZGamiing · July 4, 2014

did that but how 'bout the big problem?

Et-win · July 5, 2014

getVehicleColor

It returns 4 colors. So it has to be:

vehColor1, vehColor2, vehColor3, vehColor4 = getVehicleColor ( theVehicle , false)

If you want all the 4 colors of the vehicle, then set it to true and add it until 12.

ViRuZGamiing · July 5, 2014

didn't work or i didn't understand it quiet right

Et-win · July 5, 2014

Try this:

function previewTheCar ()

    local driver = getVehicleController ( theVehicle ) 
    c1, c2, c3, c4, c5, c6, c7, c8, c9, c10, c11, c12 = getVehicleColor ( theVehicle, true ) 
    if ( getElementDimension (driver) == 0 ) then 
        setElementDimension ( driver, 1 ) 
        setElementDimension ( theVehicle, 1 ) 
        fadeCamera(true) 
        setCameraMatrix ( -1940.6650390625, 251.3447265625, 37.063766479492, -1936.1552734375, 246.1298828125, 34.4609375)

        setElementDimension ( getLocalPlayer(), 0 ) 
        setElementDimension ( getLocalPlayer(), 0 )
