Lua Need little config support, rather simple

[sestorme]

How to stick number to this:

local Monsters = {
"Demon" [100],
"Wolf" [200],
}

So I could:

        if isInArray(Monsters,getCreatureName(thing.uid)) then
            local omg = "(number from config matching thing.uid name)"

Any clues? I am 100% sure it's possible, but arrays were always my miss :/

Remove the comma after:

"Wolf" [200],

So:

local Monsters = {
"Demon" [100],
"Wolf" [200]
}

 

[Cykotitan]

local Monsters = {
	['Demon'] = 100,
	['Wolf'] = 200,
}

local omg = Monsters[getCreatureName(thing.uid)]
if omg then

 

[Evan]

local Monsters = {
	['Demon'] = 100,
	['Wolf'] = 200,
}

local omg = Monsters[getCreatureName(thing.uid)]
if omg then

Don't you have to remove the comma at the end of the array?
Otherwise the program is going to think there's more to it when there really isn't.

lua tolerates such code flaws, other languages don't

Oh alright, I didn't know that.
I just vaguely remember running into an issue like this before and all I had to do was remove the comma to fix it.

Erm,

	local tmp = getThingFromPos(toPos)

		if(tmp.uid ~= 0) then
		
			if(isCreature(tmp.uid)) then

				if isInArray(Monsters,getCreatureName(tmp.uid)) then

It is wolf being checked, it fails.

Got it working slightly different using:

Thanks!
local creaturename = getCreatureName(tmp.uid)
if Monsters[creaturename] then

which is the same thing I posted above, you're just not storing value of Monsters[creaturename] into a variable
