elementData and {}

[iPanda]

Good day guys. I had a no problem, but rather a question. I've been working with Lua, but with a not yet encountered. Does not work saving a date element if its value is worth in braces "{}"

That's actually made ​​an example for you to understand:

--"elementData" value is {2,0.1,0.3,0.8,0.9} 
-- 
-- 
--EXAMPLE: setElementData(source,"elementData",{2,0.1,0.3,0.8,0.9}) 
  
playerData = {{"elementData"}} 
  
addEventHandler("onPlayerLogin",root,function() 
    account = getPlayerAccount(source) 
    for i,data in ipairs(playerData) do 
        setElementData(source,data[1],getAccountData(account,data[1])) 
    end 
end) 
  
addEventHandler("onPlayerQuit",root,function() 
    local account = getPlayerAccount(source) 
    if account then 
        for i,data in ipairs(playerData) do 
            setAccountData(account,data[1],getElementData(source,data[1])) 
        end 
    end 
end) 

And once again I went to the server, the value of a elementData is not available, it just is not saved. Debug shows that the value of an elementData has not been determined. So it has not been preserved. What to do?

elementData just a value in table

and u get value ( name ) and set data

i mean like this :

local nData = {  
  { "saveData" } 
} 
  
-- nData [ 1 ] [ 1 ] = "saveData" 
setElementData ( root, nData [ 1 ] [ 1 ], true ) 

just u get name data and u use data with this name

Element data's are stored in tables some thing like this.

  
someData =  {} 
  
setElementData( source, "someTest", "hi") 
-- now it will turn into 
  
someData = { 
       [source's uservalue]={{data="someTest", value="hi"}}, 
} 
-- I am not sure, but I guess they use nested tables, 
  
 

Whenever you quit the user data changes ( i assume that ) and so you can't get it back from the table

I suggest you use tables wherever possible. Do not use setElementData/getElementData until its 100% important because it takes alot of CPU and using it alot can cause lag.

You offered me some other option, but with Google translator translation I do not understand. I need my version and how I can save.

Problem solved! It was necessary to use: toJSON and fromJSON.
