[vexler222]

Hi, i make two language datapack, where i can use Polish or English language, and i have question, its possible to make a function short than my actually storage check?

Actually im using it like that:
if player:getStorageValue(language_storage) == 1 then
MESSAGE IN ENGLISH
else
MESSAGE IN POLISH
end

Its possible to make something like this?

if lang_s then
ENGLISH
else

You can add in data/lib/core/player.lua something like:

function Player.isEnglish(self)
    return self:getStorageValue(language_storage) == 1
end

and then use it this way:

if player:isEnglish() then
    -- MESSAGE IN ENGLISH
else
    -- MESSAGE IN POLISH
end

You can also use the player's storage table to get or set values for storages.
Example:

if player.storage[language_storage] == 1 then
    --ENGLISH
else
    --POLISH
end

You can also set values like this:

player.storage[language_storage] = 1

Combining with Gesior.pl's answer

local englishText = "This is some text."
local polishText = "To prawdopodobnie polski tekst."

player:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, (player:isEnglish() and englishText or polishText))

Or if you prefer even something shorter (based on Gesior answer, combined with what Xikini wrote)

data/lib/core/player.lua

function Player.isEnglish(self)
    return self:getStorageValue(language_storage) == 1
end

-- tm stands for translatedMessage
function Player.tm(self, englishText, polishText)
        self:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, (self:isEnglish() and englishText or polishText))
end

Usage:

player:tm("English Text", "Polski tekst")

That's the beauty of code - you can always improve
