So I'm really stuck here. Either I'm having a massive brain fart or I'm just overall stupid. lol
I've got "kill.lua" and "sandbox_scoreboard.lua". If the gamemode is on sandbox, load sandbox_scoreboard. If the gamemode is gofish, don't load it. But I still want to load kill.lua no matter what.
[lua]
function ASA.LoadPlugins()
for k, v in pairs( file.FindInLua( "asa_plugins/*.lua" ) ) do
local load = true
local crgamemode = string.lower( gmod.GetGamemode().Name )
local crfile = string.gsub( string.lower( v ), ".lua", "" ) -- instead of kill.lua, returns "kill"
if not crgamemode == string.sub( crfile, 1, #crgamemode ) then -- IDK WTF TO DO HERE!!!!
load = false
Msg( "Didnt load "..v.."!\n\n" )
end
if load then
ASA.IncludeSharedFile( "asa_plugins/"..v )
Msg( "Plugin "..v.." loaded!\n\n" )
end
end
end
hook.Add( "Initialize", "ASA.LoadPlugins", ASA.LoadPlugins )
[/lua]
Help please. :)
Try this:
[lua]local match = string.match( crfile, "^(.+)_" );
if string.lower(match) == string.lower(crgamemode) or not match then
--load
end
--don't load[/lua]
It's not guaranteed to work as I haven't tested.
That didn't work, but I know what you're aiming at. I'll play around with it a little.
I changed it to this:
[lua]local match = string.match( crfile, "^(.+)_" );
if not match or string.lower(match) == string.lower(crgamemode) then
--load
end[/lua]
And when I tested it, it worked fine :smile:.
I got it, Thanks a lot man!
[lua]
local match = string.match( crfile, "^(.+)_" )
if match then
Msg( crgamemode.."\n" )
Msg( match.."\n\n\n\n\n" )
if match == crgamemode then
load = true
else
load = false
Msg( "Didnt load "..v.."!\n\n" )
end
end
[/lua]
Also you may want to note that if you have a file called "sandbox_cl_inti.lua" it will fail because it takes the gamemode as "sandbox_cl". To fix that you can change the pattern to this: "^(.-)_", but the problem with this is that if you have a gamemode with an underscore it it's name, it will fail also.
So I should probably use string.find() eh?
No, string.find doesn't return the matched string, just the position of the first occurrence of the string. I think that's the best you can do with the method that you are looking for.
But if string1 isn't found in the string, it returns 0 which i can use tobool() on. :D
string.match returns nil when a pattern isn't matched.
startpos, endpos, ... = string.find( str, patt )
If you have captures in your pattern, each capture is returned as an additional variable after the start position and end position.

I see, but string.match is sufficient for this situation.

Once you start using captures they're pretty much the same function, I was just saying that because you can get text from string.find :).
[QUOTE=NullPoint;19105206]nil and 0 both will evaluate to false in an if statement.[/QUOTE]
[code]> if 0 then print"uh-oh! You were wrong!" end
uh-oh! You were wrong![/code]
So I'm using this:
[lua]
function ASA.LoadPlugins()
for k, v in pairs( file.FindInLua( "asa_plugins/*.lua" ) ) do
local load = true
local crgamemode = string.lower( gmod.GetGamemode().Name )
local crfile = string.gsub( string.lower( v ), ".lua", "" ) -- instead of kill.lua, returns "kill"
local match = string.match( crfile, "^(.-)_" ) -- this will return whatever is in front of the "_" in the filename aka the gamemode
if match then
if util.tobool( string.find( match, crgamemode ) ) then
load = true
else
load = false
Msg( "Didnt load "..v.."!\n\n" )
end
end
if load then
ASA.IncludeSharedFile( "asa_plugins/"..v )
Msg( "Plugin "..v.." loaded!\n\n" )
end
end
end
hook.Add( "Initialize", "ASA.LoadPlugins", ASA.LoadPlugins )
[/lua]
Any objections? :D

OH SHI- you serious?

I see, I wonder what made me think that 0 evaluated to false.

Every other language probably.
It's not a fatal thing, Lua just doesn't have integer values fall back as booleans.

Ninja'd. :ninja:
When you put:
"if (b) then"
It's essentially the same as:
"if (b != nil) && (b != false)"
Always a worthwhile thing to remember.
