Check if a resource still exists

[Feche1320]

Hello I am having a problem, I load resources at server startup, use the refreshResources function to add new maps/delete them, the problem is when a map gets deleted.. there is no isResource function or something similar to check if a resource still exists or not.. the only workaround is to use getResourceName but it throws a warning saying that the resource doesn't exist (this is obvious becose the resource got deleted), thanks

Try to use getResourceFromName.

Try to use getResourceFromName.

Did you even read what I asked for?

function isResource( resourceName ) 
    if resourceName and type(resourceName) == 'string' then 
    local resource = getResourceFromName( resourceName ) 
        if resource then 
        return true 
        else 
        return false 
        end 
    end 
end

function isResource( resourceName ) 
    if resourceName and type(resourceName) == 'string' then 
    local resource = getResourceFromName( resourceName ) 
        if resource then 
        return true 
        else 
        return false 
        end 
    end 
end 

I am checking if it is a resource by passing the resource to the function, not by the name.

EDIT:

I inserted into the table the resource name aswell, so your code is working, thanks.

It becomes obvious when you compare the syntax of the two functions: getResourceFromName and getResourceName.

resource = getResourceFromName(string name) 
string = getResourceName(resource res) 

Passing a string is always possible but you can't pass a resource that doesn't exist, that's the reason for the warning, sometimes it's good to know how things actually work

Don't delete resources manually then.. use deleteResource and you won't have to check for anything.
