Table in Actions not have values

[OrochiElf]

Hello guys, i'm an problem with tables.

This is a code of LIB

Event_Lightberear = {
   CACHE_GAMEEVENTS = {},
}

local function transformItem(pos, id, newId)
   return doTransformItem(getTileItemById(pos, id).uid, newId)
end

Event_Lightberear.createEvent = function ()
   for _, pos in ipairs(Lightberear_Configurations.Torchs_Positions) do
     local newTorch = doCreateItem(1234, 1, pos)
     doItemSetAttribute(newTorch, "Torch_ID", newTorch)

     local event = addEvent(transformItem, 10, pos, 1234, 4321)
     table.insert(Event_Lightberear.CACHE_GAMEEVENTS, {uid = newTorch, eid = event})
   end
   return true
end

This code make two items in game and add two values in table called (CACHE_GAMEEVENTS), with values (UID and Event ID), but when i call this function in actions, the table return 0 values.

function onUse(cid, item, frompos, item2, topos)
   print("[Action] Table Value: ".. #Event_Lightberear.CACHE_GAMEEVENTS)
   return true
end

But if i try print the value of table in talkactions, work.

function onSay(cid, words, param, channel)

   if param == "1" then
     Event_Lightberear.createEvent()
   else
     print("[Talkaction] Table Value: ".. #Event_Lightberear.CACHE_GAMEEVENTS)
   end
   return true
end

Sorry by the bad english.

You cannot do this in TFS 0.4-, lua environment (_G) is not shared between events. However you can use LUA_REGISTRYINDEX that is shared between all lua files.

You can do it like this:

debug.getregistry().Event_Lightberear = {
    CACHE_GAMEEVENTS = {},
}

And in talkaction/action or any script you're using you do something like:

local Event_Lightberear = debug.getregistry().Event_Lightberear

function onUse(cid, item, frompos, item2, topos)
   print("[Action] Table Value: ".. #Event_Lightberear.CACHE_GAMEEVENTS)
   return true
end

Forget about it, this is also not shared between files, you can try using globalstorages :\

So, i can use doFile too? or not?

No, I tried the LUA_REGISTRYINDEX and its also separate between enviroments so your only option is to edit the source or do something with table serialization and globalstorages.

Well, i'm doing tocreate an item and after x time, this item change to other, using addEvent, but if i use an action with this item, i stop this event and start again, what suggest to me?

Store the addEvent id in the item in some attribute and stop the event in the action when the player uses it.

I see you got a new toy

Why? I knew about this for a long time already. Just never tried to use on TFS.

If you read the debug library you learn about it. https://www.lua.org/manual/5.3/manual.html#6.10
