[solved] lua table structure

[Andmann]

Wow I'm a big bad idiot...

ts.portal[x] = x

I assigned the value of x as key instead of "x"...

of course when I then use an undefined key id get a nil result D:

 

 

I was restructuring my code and turned lots of single variables into tables. basically nothing has really changed in the codes logic except for how we store out values.

And boy! I am having a really bad time right now >_> 

cause the log keeps telling me, that a table, which is supposed to hold coordinates is in fact nil...

now I don't know how the hell this can be happening q.q but check this out:
i filtered the server log for the important lines

so from the log I can tell, that the coordinates I at first assign are structured just fine. Yet when CheckNewPlayer calls for ts.portal the data is suddenly gone...

while copy pasting this I noticed that the sim was still paused when calling the table? I'm not sure if that is the case and if that would be problematic.

 

the relevant code lines of modmain: especially ListenForEvent("ms_playerspawn") might be noteworthy

Spoiler

--                    world instance
local function CheckNewPlayer(inst, player)
	print("[DEBUG] checkworld "..tostring(inst == GLOBAL.TheWorld))
	if inst ~= nil and inst.ismastersim then
		local ts = inst.components.teamsurvival
		print("[DEBUG] checking what to do with new player")
		if ts:GoToLobby(player) then
			print(tostring(ts.portal[x] == nil))--.." = "..ts.portal[x]..","..ts.portal[y]..","..ts.portal[y])
			ts:TeleportEvent(player, ts.portal[x], ts.portal[y], ts.portal[z])
			CheckLobby(inst)
		else
			ts:SetTeams()
		end
	end
end


AddPrefabPostInit("world", function(inst)
	if inst and inst.ismastersim then
		inst:AddComponent("teamsurvival")
		--TheWorld:PushEvent("ms_playerspawn", inst) for reference
		inst:ListenForEvent("ms_playerspawn", CheckNewPlayer)
	end
end)

AddPrefabPostInit("multiplayer_portal", function(inst)
			
	if GLOBAL.TheWorld.ismastersim then
		inst:DoTaskInTime(0, function()
			local ts = GLOBAL.TheWorld.components.teamsurvival
			local portal = inst:GetPosition()
			local x,y,z=portal:Get()
			

			
			--self.portal =--{x=0,y=0,z=0}
			--self.bases =--{{x=0,y=0,z=0},{x=0,y=0,z=0}}
			ts.portal = {}
			ts.portal[x] = x
			ts.portal[y] = y
			ts.portal[z] = z
			
			print("[Debug] portal("..ts.portal[x]..","..ts.portal[y]..","..ts.portal[z]..")")
		end)
	end
end)

 

the relevant parts of the teamsurvival component

Spoiler

local teamsurvival = Class(function(self, inst)

	self.inst = inst
	self.portal={}--{x=0,y=0,z=0}
	self.bases ={}--{{x=0,y=0,z=0},{x=0,y=0,z=0}}

	-- general stats
	self.lobbysize = 6
	self.eventeams = false
	self.teamcomp = "standard"
	self.game = false
	
end)

function teamsurvival:OnSave()
	return 
	{ 
		portal = self.portal,
		bases = self.bases,
		status = self.status,
		game = self.game,
	}
end

function teamsurvival:OnLoad(data)
	self.portal = data and data.portal or {}
	self.bases = data and data.bases or {}
	self.status = data and data.status or "lobby"
	self.game = data and data.game or false
end

function teamsurvival:TeleportEvent(inst, x, y, z)
	if inst.status ~= nil then
		--repeat 
			inst.Transform:SetPosition(x, y, z)
		--until inst:GetPosition() == {x,y,z}
	end
end

return teamsurvival
