Make an scoreboard?

[MisterQuestions]

Hey all, i want to make a scoreboard. Yes...one that could load players, teams, if a player is on a team move it under team row.

What do i will need?

And how can i start?

Why don't you just start and come back when you actually have a problem?

setPlayerTeam

bosslorenz why he should use setPlayerTeam?? , he wants to know the player Team name and i guess he knows the function well

[MisterQuestions]

I think, i need to use:

getElementsByType

getPlayerName

getPlayerTeam

getTeamName

Sure?

Don't waste your time on this, but more important, don't waste our time.

Out from this pointless confrontation that you're having over here, I recommend you to begin with the following piece of code:

local scoreboard = {data = {}} 
function scoreboard:generate () 
    local data = {players = {}, teams = {}) 
    for i,v in ipairs(getElementsByType("team")) do 
        data.teams[v] = {} 
    end 
    for i,v in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
        local team = getPlayerTeam(v) 
        if not team then 
            table.insert(data.players, v) 
        else 
            table.insert(data.teams[team], v) 
        end 
    end 
    self.data = data 
end 

Once held all the necessary data on a table, you will simply need to use dx functions whilst looping over it.

Because its always the same.

You ask what functions you have to use.

Someone posts them.

After that you ask for an example, whatever you mean by that.

But it feels like you never actually finish something, considering your skills don't seem to improve at all.

I would like to help you, but you always ask this weird questions.

You should at least have tried something on your own before you post here, so you can ask about some specific problem.

How to make arithmetic with this string?

code:

function addHeight(extra) 
extraHeight = extraHeight + extra 
end 
addCommandHandler("addh", addHeight)

You don't even know some basic Lua functions and try to make a relative complex scoreboard?
