Lua in pairs

[lhc00]

I would like to know if there is some way to do i jump to next value in "in pairs":

local thing = {
      [1234] = {1, 2, 3, 4},
      [1236] = {1, 2, 3, 6}
      }
      
for i, v in pairs(thing) do
    print(i, v[i-1233])  -- 
end

E.g: in this script, it will print :
"1234, 1
1236, 3"

I would like the script to print only the second line.

Thx everyone.

I guess theres no continue; in lua, like other programing languages...
if you want to abort the loop, you can use break

local thing = {
      [1234] = {1, 2, 3, 4},
      [1236] = {1, 2, 3, 6}
      }
      
for i, v in pairs(thing) do
    print(i, v[i-1233])
    break
end

Can you not do for i = x, v in pairs~ ? where x is the starting number of the loop.

I will try explain with this example: i have this script:

function onUse(cid, item, pos, itemEx, topos)
         x = 0
         k = 1
         local bakados = { --HERE--
               [{6278}] = {2666, 10, 5097, 2, 8846, 3},
               [{2379}] = {2666, 100}        
		 }
	big_pos = {x = topos.x, y=topos.y, z=topos.z, stackpos = 1}
	coisa = {x = topos.x, y=topos.y, z=topos.z, stackpos = 1}
         for i, j in pairs(bakados) do
                posdotrem = {x = topos.x, y = topos.y, z = topos.z, stackpos = 2}
                for w = 2, #j/2+1 do
                    posdascoisas = {x = topos.x, y = topos.y, z = topos.z, stackpos = w}
                    if getThingFromPos(posdascoisas).itemid == j[k] then
                       if getThingFromPos(posdascoisas).type == j[k+1] then
                          x = x+1
                          doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, 1, ''..x)
                          if x == #j/2 then
                             for z = 2, #j, 2 do                                          
                                 doRemoveItem(getThingFromPos(posdotrem).uid, j[z])
                             end
                             if k == #j -1 then
                                doCreateItem(i[1], 1, topos)
                             end
                          end
                       else
                           --[B]jump to the next ITEM[/B]
                       end
                    else
                        --[B]jump to the next ITEM[/B]
                    end
                    k = k+2
                end
             
         end
end

It's a craft-item script, it works, except when an item needs the same items to be made(like in this case).

This might be easier to understand how to use "i" using exp stages in lua.

local config = {
	[{1, 8}] = 5
}
 
function onAdvance(cid, skill, oldLevel, newLevel)
	if skill == SKILL__LEVEL then
		for i, v in pairs(config) do
			if(newLevel >= i[2] and oldLevel <= i[1]) then
				doPlayerSetRate(cid, SKILL__LEVEL, v)
				break
			end
		end
	end
 
	return true
end

	for i, v in pairs(config) do
		for _, cid in ipairs(getOnlinePlayers()) do

Instead of looping every player for each stage, loop each stage for each player (protip: swap), it'll also fix your misplaced break.
