Solved [advanced] Global table?

[nclx]

Hello I'm needing a global table and this is what is happening:

I make global a = {} in /data/test.lua
/data/global.lua imports /data/test.lua

a globalevent calls /data/test.lua function that modifies a.

printing any value of table a from talkaction gives the modified value.

creaturescript onPrepareDeath calls any value of the table a and is not modified.

why the fuck creaturescript doesnt show the modified value? does it has something to do with login.lua registering the onpreparedeath event?

Most scripts (at least in TFS) run in isolated LUA environments which have no access to each other.
Either you have to rewrite the LUA handling in TFS or you have to use some kind of shared space, like MySQL or a creature/an item on the map where you can attach properties which are available for every script.

Sucks, thanks

You could possibly use global storage, use the global event to set a value in the storage then call it on the players death with a table in the creaturescript that perceives each value as an action

Storage (either global or player) doesn't support tables and I've already re-made my system using other method, alternative ways are no needed, just wanted to know why it wasn't working, thanks anyway.

The thread is solved and should be closed :/
