[Lua] How to make simple tables

[Dantarrix]

Well, i want to know how to make a table....
Because i need a script like this:
When u use a certain item, u summon a monster depending on vocation and level.....
So i think is better to use a table.... Like this:
local sorcerer = {
[x] = "y"
}
Where x is level and y name of the monster.... But i dont know how to use it on the script....

Hope i explained well.....

local array = 
    {
        [1] =        -- voc id
            {
                [1] = 'Rat',        -- level
                [2] = 'Demon'
            },
        [2] = 
            {
                [1] = 'Hydra',
                [2] = 'Cave rat'
            }
    }
    
function onUse(cid, ...)
    local voc = getPlayerVocation(cid)        -- dont remember if correct
    local arr = array[voc]
    
    if not arr then 
        return false 
    end
    
    local sum = arr[getPlayerLevel(cid)]
    
    if not sum then
        return false
    end
    
    dosummon(sum)    -- check correct function and params
    return true
end

maybe you will need index the level array by ranges

ty... but local voc should be local voc = array[getplaverVocation(cid)

 

[Cykotitan]

no, his thing could be shortened into 1 line but not like that

 

[Dantarrix]

so how???

 

[Cykotitan]

local arr = array[getPlayerVocation(cid)]

@cyko: may you please make the table, but very simple, so i can finish the script and all.........???? Ty very much... will rep+

 

[Darkhaos]

local level = --local table containing information
{
-table position is a table too
--------------------value of table is a string
--------this is 'k'----this is 'v'-----------
	[{1, 50}] = "Minotaur Guard",
	[{51, 100}] = "Dragon Lord",
	[{101, 120}] = "Behemoth",
	[{121, 999}] = "Demon"
}

function onUse(cid, words, param, channel)

	for k, v in ipairs(level) do
					---- k = {1, 50} (example) and v = "Minotaur Guard"----
					---- so--[1], [2]----
					---then k[1] = 1 and k[2] = 50
		if getPlayerLevel(cid) >= k[1] and getPlayerLevel(cid) <= k[2] then --this is the same as (if getPlayerLevel(cid) >= 1 and getPlayerLevel(cid) <= 50 then
			doSummonCreature(v, getCreaturePosition(cid)) ---and then this summon v = "Minotaur Guard"
			break --and break the loop (so it won't check the next table ([{51, 100}]....), if this doesn't happen (player level isn't >= 1 and <= 50) then it jumps to the next table value, si it will start again (k = [{51, 100}]... v = "Dragon Lord".. k[1] = 51 and bla bla bla..)
		end
	end
	return true
end

But i need it to check vocations too.... :/
Maybe including something like this???

local table = {
[1] = {
[{1,50}] = "Minotaur Guard",
etc...
}
[2] = {
[{1, 50}] = "Demon",
etc...
}
etc...
}
local voc = table[getPlayerVocation(cid)]
function onUse (cid, item, fromPos, itemEx, toPos)

for k, v in ipairs(voc) do
if getPlayerLevel(cid) >= k[1] and getPlayerLevel(cid) <= k [2] then
local creature = doSummonCreature(v, getCreaturePosition(cid))
break
doConvinceCreature(cid, creature) ---dont forget it...
doPlayerSay(cid, "Go "..getCreatureName(creature).."!!!, 1)
end
end
return true
end

 

[Cykotitan]

local t = {}

t[1] = {
	[{1, 50}] = 'Minotaur Guard',
	[{51, 100}] = 'Dragon Lord',
	[{101, 120}] = 'Behemoth',
	[{121, math.huge}] = 'Demon'
}
t[2] = {
	[{1, 50}] = 'Demon Skeleton',
	[{51, 100}] = 'Giant Spider',
	[{101, 120}] = 'Warlock',
	[{121, math.huge}] = 'Juggernaut'
}

function onUse (cid, item, fromPos, itemEx, toPos)
	local l, voc = getPlayerLevel(cid), getPlayerVocation(cid)
	while voc > 4 do
		voc = voc - 4
	end
	for k, v in pairs(t[voc]) do
		if l >= k[1] and l <= k [2] then
			doSummonMonster(cid, v)
			doCreatureSay(cid, 'Go, ' .. v .. '!!!', TALKTYPE_ORANGE_1)
			break
		end
	end
	return true
end

ipairs is wrong.
