Lua Table orzanige by Higest Value and Names

[roriscrave]

I have 2 tables, a value table and a string, is possible to make it?
the table can only contain 3 names, and the storages will be organized from largest to smallest
exemple my table are:

local table = {1000, 880, 720}
local pNames = {Smavel, Quartz, Newbie}

if a player "Noyek", have storage 900, he will be insert in the table and the new tables will be like this:

local table = {1000, 900, 880, 720}
local pNames = {Smavel, Noyek, Quartz, Newbie

and the last player need to be removed (Newbie, 720), because table can contains only 3 players

local table = {1000, 900, 880}
local pNames = {Smavel, Noyek, Quartz}

@roriscrave
First of all, how come you're using my second nickname as an example
Second of all, I would do it like that:

local howmanyplayersuwant = 3
local hmp = howmanyplayersuwant
local pNumbers = {1000, 880, 720}
local pNames = {Smavel, Quartz, Newbie}
    
x = getstorageoftheplayer
y = getnameoftheplayer
    
local check = hmp+1
    
function whatever(cid, whatever)
    for i = hmp, 1, -1 do --this checks what place in the table it should be
        if pNumbers[i] < x then
            check = check - 1
        end
    end
    
    for i = hmp, 1, -1 do --sorts everything
        local pNum
        local pName
        if check < i then
            pNumbers[i] = pNumbers[i-1]
            pNames[i] = pNames[i-1]
        elseif check == i then
            pNumbers[i] = x
            pNames[i] = y
            break
        end
    end
    
return true
end

Do you really need to have only 3 values per table and store the values on seperate tables? Because u could simply do this:

t = {}
table.insert(t, {cid, storage})
table.sort(t, function(a, b) return a[2] > b[2] end)
for i = 1, math.min(#t, 3) do
    local data = {getPlayerName(t[i][1]), t[i][2]}
    print(data[1], data[2])
end

    print(data[1], data[2])
end

wow, can u explain for min math.min? i never used this func
edit2: and is it possible to send a message to the player who left the table?
and also who entered, exemple:
in this case Smavel will leave and Flow will enter, is possible send a message for either:
Smavel: You leaved the table
Flow: You entered the table

function onUse(player, item, fromPosition, target, toPosition, isHotkey)
    local t = {{"Smavel", 100}, {"Quartz", 200}, {"Newbie", 300}}
    table.insert(t, {"Flow", 250})
    table.sort(t, function(a, b) return a[2] > b[2] end)
    for i = 1, math.min(#t, 3) do
        local data = {(t[i][1]), t[i][2]}
        print(data[1], data[2])
    end
    return true
end

What exactly you are attempting to? And its'a an action i suppose or globalevent?

It takes the minimum value from 2 entries, in this case between #t (table count) and 3.
For example, if #t has a length of 2 it will take that 2 instead the 3, since 2 is the min value.

Same to the opposite, if #t has a length of 4, it will the take 3 instead the 4.
In short, the math.min will limit the 'for' only to 3 loops max.

will be action, when u open a chest u gain certain storage (that`s in the table).
but i need if player enter in table he receive msg, and if player left, he receive too, exemple:

the table have this 3 player with highest storages:

 local t = {{"Smavel", 100}, {"Quartz", 200}, {"Newbie", 300}}

if u have storage value 300, smavel will leave the table, so i need smavel receive a message ("You are not in table more, becase someone get more storage than you")
and quartz will pass to top 2 for top 3, he need receive message too ("You downgraded your position to 3")
