Script: trouble with tables.

So, I created a table of tables for my merchant script:
Code: Select all
function setUpItems()
ItemOptions = {
{Item="dagger",sellPrice=0.5,buyPrice=5},
{Item="cutlass",sellPrice=0.7,buyPrice=7},
{Item="fist_dagger",sellPrice=0.7,buyPrice=10},
{Item="flail",sellPrice=1,buyPrice=15},
{Item="great_axe",sellPrice=2,buyPrice=25},
{Item="hand_axe",sellPrice=0.7,buyPrice=6},
{Item="knife",sellPrice=0.4,buyPrice=4},
{Item="long_sword",sellPrice=0.7,buyPrice=13},
{Item="machete",sellPrice=0.6,buyPrice=10},
{Item="shuriken",sellPrice=0.3,buyPrice=10},
{Item="throwing_axe",sellPrice=0.2,buyPrice=8},
{Item="throwing_knife",sellPrice=0.2,buyPrice=8},
end
but when I try to cycle through the tables one by one, with the click of a button, with this function:
Code: Select all
function changeItem()
setUpItems()
local counterItem = merchant_item_type_counter_1:getValue()
for i,option in pairs(ItemOptions) do
hudPrint(" A "..option.Item.." to buy for "..option.buyPrice.." gold coins.")
end
end
it cycles through all the items. i don't know how to use the counter to cycle through objects one by one.
Any help please ?

I guess don't use a loop, just have a button activate a function that adds one to the counter (a global variable) or subtracts one for going backwards?

well you're missing a closing bracket.
other than that I'm not familiar enough with lua tables such as this one to be of any further help

You want something like this
Code: Select all
function setUpItems()
local ItemOptions = {
{Item="dagger",sellPrice=0.5,buyPrice=5},
{Item="cutlass",sellPrice=0.7,buyPrice=7},
{Item="fist_dagger",sellPrice=0.7,buyPrice=10},
{Item="flail",sellPrice=1,buyPrice=15},
{Item="great_axe",sellPrice=2,buyPrice=25},
{Item="hand_axe",sellPrice=0.7,buyPrice=6},
{Item="knife",sellPrice=0.4,buyPrice=4},
{Item="long_sword",sellPrice=0.7,buyPrice=13},
{Item="machete",sellPrice=0.6,buyPrice=10},
{Item="shuriken",sellPrice=0.3,buyPrice=10},
{Item="throwing_axe",sellPrice=0.2,buyPrice=8},
{Item="throwing_knife",sellPrice=0.2,buyPrice=8}
return ItemOptions
}
end
function changeItem()
-- I prefere to use return values rather then temporary globals
item_list = setUpItems()
if( merchant_item_type_counter_1:getValue() > #item_list ) then
-- counter passed the available items reset it.
merchant_item_type_counter_1:reset()
end
-- Get the item from the list
item = item_list[merchant_item_type_counter_1]
hudPrint(" A "..item.Item.." to buy for "..item.buyPrice.." gold coins.")
end

Thank you so much for the lesson Lilltiger, adding you to TLC credits
Actually, I checked your code, return ItemOptions should be just before "end", and you forgot a :getValue(). But it works great, thanks again.
