how to print toPosition?

[Sigoles]

local positionVoc2 = toPosition
local descriptionVoc2 = string.format(
                '%d, %d, %d',
                positionVoc2.x, positionVoc2.y, positionVoc2.z
            )

no working when we move item inside our backpack (myself)

Just add a print(descriptionVoc2)??

I al tried this in a lua online and worked...

local positionVoc2 = {x = 12, y = 22, z = 7}
local format = "%d, %d, %d"
print(format:format(positionVoc2.x, positionVoc2.y, positionVoc2.z))

local positionVoc2 = toPosition
local descriptionVoc2 = string.format(
                '%d, %d, %d',
                positionVoc2.x, positionVoc2.y, positionVoc2.z
            )

string.format doesn't print, it just returns the formated string, you'll need a separate means to print the results such as print, io.write or one of the TFS functions/metamethods depending on the need.

print(string.format("%d, %d, %d",1,2,3))
-- 1, 2, 3

srry, its not for print, is for write:

file:write(" .. descriptionVoc2 .. ")

I need something like, if its our backpack equiped then write:

file:write("moved to his own backpack")

in your case it worked because you already set the specific position

 

[samco]

file:write(string.format("%d,%d,%d", positionx,positiony,positionz)))

This is incorrect, it should be:

file:write( descriptionVoc2 )

But that is only if you opened a file for writing.

This is incorrect, it should be:

file:write( descriptionVoc2 )

But that is only if you opened a file for writing.

That would write the table string representation, not the actual content

I'm using more texts there, thats why

file:write("some text, " " .. descriptionVoc2 .. " ".")

the current script is writing something like toPos: 65535, 64, 2

I was just correcting the code, i never considered the value since it was not immediately available in the post.

file:write("some text, " " .. descriptionVoc2 .. " ".")

the current script is writing something like toPos: 65535, 64, 2

To make the concat you have to do it outside the "" :

file:write("some text, " .. varToConcat .. ".")

You will get an error because you have 3 strings which are not connected.

omg guys, I only need to know how to print the position when the position is ourself (our backpack)
I see here its like something toPosition.y- 64 (our backpack equiped)

 

[bayview]

Think of it this way for every string that connects to something else such a variable 2 dots should link them.
So this

ile:write("some text, " " .. descriptionVoc2 .. " ".")

becomes this

file:write("some text, " .. descriptionVoc2 .. ".")

We are trying to teach you something.. rather I am trying to teach you something but if you feel my efforts are a waste of your time I can find better things to do with mine.

thanks guys, I solved

local descriptionVoc2 = string.format(
                '%d, %d',
                positionVoc2.x-65535, positionVoc2.y-64
            )

this will write 0, 0 and I'll know it was moved to the backpack itself

 

[Mummrik]

this will print:

That is the position. I remember that 65535 was the x position when i was checking an items position inside the backpack. I think there is some thread explaining more on the subject, you have to search since i dont have a link to it.

position.x 65535 is the number for a container position (either inventory or inside of a container), you can also compare with the constant CONTAINER_POSITION which is defined as 65535
so you shouldn't be subtracting 65535 because it's a constant number and won't change as long as it isn't in the game world and is inside a player's inventory or a container item
position.y 64+ is for container id, the base number 64 + the id = position.y
position.z in a container is usually either
a. the inventory slot (if it's in your inventory)
b. the slot position in the container (3rd item in a backpack would be position.z = 2 since slots start from 0)
