getting all resources

[toxicsmoke11]

hello, i am trying to loop through all resources but both methods give ridicilous errors

method one

for _,resources in pairs(getResources()) do 
          local name = getResourceInfo(resources,"name") 
      end 

method one: some error at getResourceInfo

-- attempt to concentrate local 'resources' (a userdata value)

method two:

for _,resources in pairs(getElementsByType("resource")) do 
          local name = getResourceInfo(resources,"name") 
      end 

expected getResourceInfo... expected resource-data got resource -- ??????

but we don't see variable 'resource'

[xeon17]

function displayResources() 
     local resourceTable = getResources()  
     for resourceKey, resourceValue in ipairs(resourceTable) do 
          local name = getResourceName(resourceValue) 
     end

wassim please read my looping example again and see better that 'resources' is a table value

@XeoN- that's exactly the same thing i did except you used a variable which won't do anything

[WASSIm.]

are you kidding me ? its was like that and you'r edit it

method one: some error at getResourceInfo

-- attempt to concentrate local 'resource' (a userdata value)

can you help me or not

    for _,resources in pairs( getResources( ) ) do 
              local name = getResourceInfo( resources, "name" ) or "" 
          end 

Maybe some of your resources info Undefined

without name i can't proceed.

i have downloaded a random map and here is meta part of info

"race" type="map" name="[DM] Javelin ft. StyLeX - Skilled Club" author="Javelin & StyLeX" version="1.0.1">

also im having problem with expected resource-data got resource warning which causes me to fail to get resources and their info

[toxicsmoke11]

turns out that i have forgot this line

if (getResourceInfo(resource,"type") == "map") and (getResourceInfo(resource,"gamemodes") == "race") and getResourceInfo(resource,"name") then 

so if it would find a single resource without that name and map and gamemode thingy, it would abort the script

anyway thanks for help guys
