Lua Overwritting global variable

[Keraxel]

Hi Otlanders,
Is Anyone got an idea how to overwrite global variable in lua? I try to add Player's cid to function this way, that I'll be able to read it from other function.

It looks like that:

lua table:

ctf = {flaggers = {}}

function in data/lib:

...
print(table.insert(ctf.flaggers, cid))
print(#ctf.flaggers) -- prints 1
...

globalevent printing size of table each second:

<globalevent name="markCtfFlagger" interval="1" event="script"><![CDATA[
	function onThink(interval, lastExecution)
		return print(#ctf.flaggers) --always prints 0
]]></globalevent>

I'll hope someone knows the solution.

Regards,
Keraxel.

What about _G? ;p

E.g.

_G['ctf']['fragers'] = {}

 

[Keraxel]

_G = {}

The same effect

_G = {FLAGGERS = {}}

Still the same effect

use globalstorage with explode / split - its only way I know. Anyway, why you need list of ctf players for ?

If I would use storage then it would be player storage instead of global. I dont want to check every player for flag, this is why I thought about table. I think concatenating wouldn't be good solution.

kef :S
It shouldn't be like u posted.

_G['FRAGERS'] = {}

Then:

table.insert(_G['FRAGERS'], XXXX)

return #_G['FRAGERS']

Still not sure if it'll work.

It's just other table key ;o Anyway, I've tested it and nothing, just as I expected ;/
