I have the following table
scavenging =
{
{
type = "Greenskin|16",
fast_levelup = 20, --Number of levels with 75% chance to level up after required level
normal_levelup = 40, --Number of levels with 50% chance to level up after fast_levelup + required level
slow_levelup = 40, --Number of levels with 25% chance
drops = --Drops
{
{items = {"Linen", "Bolt of Linen", "Coarse Thread", "Feather", "Cotton"}, droprates = {60, 10, 10, 10, 2}},
},
},
}
This is one data value in a series. I use
function scavenge_meta(scavenge_name)
for _, meta in pairs(scavenging) do
if string.match(meta.type, scavenge_name) then
return meta
end
end
end
to pull the needed data. The question is, is there an easy way to get to the droprates value without having to do a few for (pairs)? Right now for example I can use:
local founditem = scavenge_meta("Greenskin|16")
And this works, and then I can use founditem.fast_levelup etc. I was hoping to access the drops table with founditem.drops.items for example, but this doesn't work, I need to do a pairs(founditem.drops) then pairs(valuefound.items) /etc.
Maybe there is a better way of doing this?
if you can change the table then do:
scavenging =
{
["Greenskin|16"] = {
type = "Greenskin|16",
fast_levelup = 20,
normal_levelup = 40,
slow_levelup = 40,
drops =
{
{items = {"Linen", "Bolt of Linen", "Coarse Thread", "Feather", "Cotton"}, droprates = {60, 10, 10, 10, 2}},
},
},
}
and get data directly by index
print(scavenging["Greenskin|16"].fast_levelup)
otherwise, just by searching as you did.

In the current example we have two different jobs, one is an ST, and the other is a Jedi, in this case Anakin Skywalker. The difference between the two professions, is in the code according to my opinion possibly none, I'm not sure in this regard, however, unlike the ST job in the game itself I can enter /setteam name ST to become the job, this does not happen with the job for the Jedi.
TEAM_ST = DarkRP.createJob("ST", {
color = Color(0, 0, 0),
model = "models/hazel/cg_models/1_et/cg_et.mdl",
description = [[
Ein ausgebildeter Klonsoldat
]],
weapons = {
"comlink_swep",
"cross_arms_swep",
"cross_arms_infront_swep",
"hololink_swep",
"point_in_direction_swep",
"salute_swep",
"surrender_animation_swep"
},
command = "ST",
max = 99,
salary = 10,
admin = 0,
vote = false,
hasLicense = false,
category = "Klon",
canDemote = false,
PlayerSpawn = function(ply)
ply:SetHealth(100)
ply:SetMaxHealth(100)
ply:SetArmor(100)
ply:SetMaxArmor(100)
end,
})
TEAM_AS = DarkRP.createJob("Anakin Skywalker", {
color = Color(0, 0, 0),
model = "models/kaiido/anakin/anakin.mdl",
description = [[
Ein mächtiger Jedi-Schüler
]],
weapons = {
"comlink_swep",
"cross_arms_swep",
"cross_arms_infront_swep",
"hololink_swep",
"point_in_direction_swep",
"salute_swep",
"surrender_animation_swep"
},
command = "AS",
max = 1,
salary = 15,
admin = 0,
vote = false,
hasLicense = false,
category = "Jedi",
canDemote = false,
PlayerSpawn = function(ply)
ply:SetHealth(5000)
ply:SetMaxHealth(5000)
ply:SetArmor(100)
ply:SetMaxArmor(100)
end,
})
Any idea about my problem?
I basically tried to recreate the job several times, looking for erroneous characters or blanks etc, I didn't find anything.
So, what i am trying to do is... well it's best to show. oh and This is with Fivem and trying to modify an existing resource, but...
`BMProducts = {
{
["lostItems"] = {
[1] = { name = "weapon_shotgun", price = 1500, crypto = 2500, amount = 1 },
},
}
}
table.insert(BMProducts, {
["ballasItems"] = {
[1] = { name = "weapon_pistol", price = 1500, crypto = 2500, amount = 1 },
},
})
Config.Products = BMProducts`
And I have a another config, that i need to pull the Correct table, but now sure entirely how
`["products"] = Config.Products["ballasItems"],`
Is what I have but it won't read it, due to what I assume is what i saw when debugging, that when inserting to the table, it assigns a number, ie;
[1] = {lostitems = {... [2] = {ballasItems = {...
One that works, but what my ultimate goal is to make the code plug and play with the table inserts, is this
`BMProducts =
{
["lostItems"] = {
[1] = { name = "weapon_pistol", price = 1500, crypto = 2500, amount = 1 },
},
["ballasItems"] = {
[1] = { name = "weapon_pistol", price = 1500, crypto = 2500, amount = 1 },
},
}`
which works with the config above because the way just above does not assign numbers and not inserting into a table. Any ideas how i can go about setting that config for the correct Products table?
When i try it with the table insert, and with the
`["products"] = Config.Products["ballasItems"],`
It can't find the table, which is due to what i assume the table format being different than what it was, which was the code block at the bottom
so my main thing, is to get
`["products"] = Config.Products["ballasItems"],`
to = the correct table when there is a table insert.
If you don't want to table.insert, then don't table.insert:
BMProducts["ballasItems"] = {
{ name = "weapon_pistol", price = 1500, crypto = 2500, amount = 1 },
}
Now I think you told to not modify the config, so another approach is to just use that additional array index when indexing:
["products"] = Config.Products[2]["ballasItems"]
Which obviously assumes that the config never changes and the entry with ballasItems is on index 2.
If you do not know the index, you may want to iterate over Config.Products and look for the right product.
for i,v in ipairs(Config.Products) do
if v["ballasItems"] then
end
end
You may also consider the case where two or more products match.
I'm trying to access the properties of the following widget:
local cpu_widget = wibox.widget{
{
max_value = 100,
paddings = 1,
border_width = 2,
widget = wibox.widget.progressbar,
},
{
font = beautiful.font_type .. "8",
widget = wibox.widget.textbox,
},
forced_height = 100,
forced_width = 20,
direction = 'east',
layout = wibox.container.rotate,
}
I've tried through the conventional way, using cpu_widget[1].value or cpu_widget[2].text, but that didn't work.
Any thoughts on how I could do that?
See the "Accessing Widgets" on https://awesomewm.org/doc/api/documentation/03-declarative-layout.md.html (I can't seem to link to this section directly)
Basically: You can add id = "bar" and id = "text" to your widgets and use these identifiers to retrieve the widgets again.
In case Elv13 ever sees this answer: You did great work on the docs!
I have a trouble inserting new rows and tables into an already existing one.
Lets call the source SourceFile.lua and its simplified contents:
SourceFile = {};
SourceFile.list = {
BrandName1 = {
number = 10,
products = {
"Product1", 3,
"Product2", 4,
"Product3", 7,
},
},
BrandName2 = {
number = 5,
products = {
"Product1", 10,
"Product2", 3,
"Product3", 6,
},
},
-- and so on
}
I want to do something like this:
require 'SourceFile'
local myData = {
BrandName2 = { -- add new products for the existing brand
products = {
"Product4", 2,
},
},
MyBrandName1 = { -- add new brand
number = 12,
products = {
"MyProduct1", 21,
"MyProduct2", 95,
},
},
-- and so on
}
table.insert(SourceFile.list, myData)
However there's something wrong in my code and I get the following result (printed with inspect):
{
list = { {
BrandName2 = {
products = { "Product4", 2 }
},
MyBrandName1 = {
number = 12,
products = { "MyProduct1", 21, "MyProduct2", 95 }
}
},
BrandName1 = {
number = 10,
products = { "Product1", 3, "Product2", 4, "Product3", 7 }
},
BrandName2 = {
number = 5,
products = { "Product1", 10, "Product2", 3, "Product3", 6 }
}
}
}
What am I doing wrong?
I'm new to lua and pretty sure that it's something obvious, but not for me. Please, help me.
Addition
After these answers I've also found a way to insert new brand names one by one:
SourceFile.list.MyBrandName1 = {
number = 12,
products = {
"MyProduct1", 21,
"MyProduct2", 95,
},
}
This does not fully answer my question, but might be useful to someone new to lua.
table.insert adds its second argument to an array (its first argument). Your SourceFile.list is only supposed to have string keys, so it can't work as an array. You'll need a recursive function to merge the data from one table into the other:
local function meld(data, newData)
for k, v in pairs(newData) do
local oldValue = data[k]
if type(oldValue) ~= 'table' or type(v) ~= 'table' then
-- One of the values is not a table, so let's clobber the old value.
data[k] = v
else
-- Both are tables.
meld(oldValue, v)
end
end
end
meld(SourceFile.list, myData)
You are pushing a table of brandnames into a list of brandnames.
Which makes it a list of brandnames + table with brandnames.
table.insert(SourceFile.list, myData)
This inserts myData to SourceFile.list. myData is a table with brandnames.
SourceFile.list is also a table with brandnames.
List in list.
You have 2 choices to solve this:
Insert each brandname separately
Make a function to merge contents of myData to SourceFile.list
This may be easier than I'm making it on myself. I am relatively new to Lua, but experienced in other languages.
I have a table that looks like this:
local state = {}
state[1] = {
show = true,
changed = true,
progressType = "static",
value = 0,
total = 9,
name = "nine",
}
state[2] = {
show = true,
changed = true,
progressType = "static",
value = 0,
total = 7,
name = "seven",
}
state[3] = {
show = true,
changed = true,
progressType = "static",
value = 0,
total = 8,
name = "eight",
}
state[4] = {
show = true,
changed = true,
progressType = "static",
value = 0,
total = 6,
name = "six",
}
What I need to do is sort each table[] entry based on the value of table.value5. I can't find any functions in the docs that expressely say they do more than just a basic table.sort so I find myself a bit stuck. Do I need to manually sort by iterating through and creating a new table with the sorted data?

I might be misunderstanding your issue, but table.sort is exactly what you need in this case:
local state = {}
state[1] = {
total = 9,
name = "nine",
}
state[2] = {
total = 7,
name = "seven",
}
state[3] = {
total = 8,
name = "eight",
}
state[4] = {
total = 6,
name = "six",
}
-- Use table.sort with a custom anonymous function
-- to specify how to compare the nested tables.
table.sort(state, function (a, b)
return a.total < b.total
end)
for i=1, #state do
print(i, state[i].name)
end
With table.sort you can provide an optional custom function, which can be as easy or complicated as you want it to be. In this case (as per your question) it is enough to simply compare the total values of your table.
