String to Variant

[zxmatzx]

Hello,
Im trying to convert a string to a variant that represents a table key

Pseudo-Code, im traveling and don't have access to real code, but its is similar.

I want to access "CONFIG_GERAL.equipsConfigs.armor_slots.slot_1", where the slot number changes and equipament type.

--in lib file
CONFIG_GERAL = {
canWalk = true,
intervalAction = 1000,
healPercent = 20,
equipsConfigs = {
    armor_slots = {name = "armor", maxCount = 5, slot_1 = 5, slot_2 = 10, slot_3 = 5, slot_4 = 10, slot_5 = 5},
    helmet_slots = {name = "helmet", maxCount = 3, slot_1 = 5, slot_2 = 10, slot_3 = 5},
    boots_slots = {name = "boots", maxCount = 1, slot_1 = 5}
        },
enabled = true
}

function getSlots(equipType) 
    local baseTable = "CONFIG_GERAL.equipsConfigs."
    
    local tableIndex = -1
    for i = 0, #CONFIG_GERAL.equipsConfigs do
        if CONFIG_GERAL.equipsConfigs[i].name == equipType then
            tableIndex = i
            --break;
        end
    end

    if tableIndex == -1 then
        return 0
    end
    
    local equipMaxCount = CONFIG_GERAL.equipsConfigs[tableIndex].maxCount
    
    local totalValue = 0
    for i = 1, equipMaxCount do
        local tmpVar = Variant(baseTable .. "" .. equipType .. "_slots" .. ".slot_" .. i)
        totalValue = totalValue + tmpVar
    end

    return totalValue
end

--In action file, called by onUse function
print(getSlots("armor"))
--expected output 35 (slot_1 = 5 + slot_2 = 10 + slot_3 = 5 + slot_4 = 10 + slot_5 = 5)

print(getSlots("helmet"))
--expected output 20 (slot_1 = 5 + slot_2 = 10 + slot_3 = 5)

print(getSlots("boots"))
--expected output 5 (slot_1 = 5)

I don't know if i explained in best way... Im using TFS 1.2.
Sorry my english, its not my main language.
Thank you.

You can do something like this

--[[
enum slots_t : uint8_t {
    CONST_SLOT_WHEREEVER = 0,
    CONST_SLOT_HEAD = 1,
    CONST_SLOT_NECKLACE = 2,
    CONST_SLOT_BACKPACK = 3,
    CONST_SLOT_ARMOR = 4,
    CONST_SLOT_RIGHT = 5,
    CONST_SLOT_LEFT = 6,
    CONST_SLOT_LEGS = 7,
    CONST_SLOT_FEET = 8,
    CONST_SLOT_RING = 9,
    CONST_SLOT_AMMO = 10,

    CONST_SLOT_FIRST = CONST_SLOT_HEAD,
    CONST_SLOT_LAST = CONST_SLOT_AMMO,
};
]]

local CONFIG_GERAL = {
    canWalk = true,
    intervalAction = 1000,
    healPercent = 20,
    equipsConfigs = {
        [CONST_SLOT_HEAD] = {
            name = "helmet", 
            slots = {3, 5, 10, 5} 
        },
        [CONST_SLOT_ARMOR] = {
            name = "armor", 
            slots = {5, 10, 5, 10, 5} 
        },
        [CONST_SLOT_FEET] = {
            name = "boots", 
            slots = {5} 
        }
    },
    enabled = true
}
    


function getSlots(equipType) 
    local tableIndex
    for slot = CONST_SLOT_HEAD, CONST_SLOT_AMMO do
        local table = CONFIG_GERAL.equipsConfigs[slot]
        if table and table.name == equipType then
            local totalValue = 0
            for i = 1, #table.slots do
                local tmpVar = table.slots[i]
                totalValue = totalValue + tmpVar
            end
            return totalValue
        end
    end
end

print(getSlots("armor")) -- 35

Nice, this will work to me. Thank you.
I will mark as solved, if someone could explain why my code isn't working, and how to use properly Variant functions, i'll be very grateful.
