Table Result

[OrbTanT]

Help me, I'm kinda bad that tables, but how can I get the total result of number that are in table for example.

 

local lucre = {1500, 2500, 1000, 5000}

I tried to loop in the lucre table, plus it returns each separate value as 1500, 2500, how can I retrieve the table data and add them up before passing through the outputChatBox

You can count them up this way:

local total = 0
for _,v in pairs(lucre) do
    total = total + v
end

Almost did work, but it was returning the sum in the outputChatBox until it arrived in the result, I wanted the outputChatBox to return only the total result, already added

local lucre = {1500, 2500, 1000, 5000}

local total = 0
function loopLucre(player, comandName)
	for _,v in pairs(lucre) do
		total = total + v
		outputChatBox("My lucre is "..tostring(total), player, 255, 255, 0)
	end
end
addCommandHandler("lucre", loopLucre)

he returned:

My lucre is 1500
My lucre is 4000
My lucre is 5000
My lucre is 10000

I wanted it to just come back:

My lucre is 10000

Just move the outputChatBox line after the loop. You use the loop purely for counting here, you can output after.

local lucre = {1500, 2500, 1000, 5000}

local total = 0
function loopLucre(player, comandName)
	for _,v in pairs(lucre) do
		total = total + v
	end
  	outputChatBox("My lucre is "..tostring(total), player, 255, 255, 0)
end
addCommandHandler("lucre", loopLucre)

Works perfectly, thanks, now I can finish property system

Also one small thing, you might want to move the

local total = 0

variable into the function above the loop, so the total gets reset everything you execute the command.
