Tables - Check ID?

[jimbodude]

Hey there,

So for example, if I have a table like this:

[lua]
local table = {
["some steamid"] = "something else",
["some steamid"] = "something else",
}
[/lua]
How could I then do a check, such as table.HasValue() but on the Identifier itself?

[lua]tbl["some steamid"][/lua]

So, taking that table as an example, if I did
[lua]
table["some invalid steamid"]
[/lua]
it would return nil, right?
So I could then simply do:
[lua]
if table[ply:SteamID()] then
-- do stuff using the value in the table
end
[/lua] right?

Yup.

Im sorry if im hijacking your thread here but i have a quick question which is basicly what you are asking.

If i did
[lua]
local table = {
["some steamid"],
["some steamid"],
}
[/lua]
And then
[lua]
if table[pl:SteamID()] then
pl:SetTeam(1337)
end
[/lua]

Would that be correct?
(Sorry for sorta stealing your thread, just asking a simular question to make sure im doing this right)

You have to set the value to be something, like a simple true:

[lua]local table = {
["some steamid"] = true,
["some steamid"] = true
}[/lua]

If you have multiple teams, it would probably be better to store the player's team there instead and do this:

[lua]local table = {
["some steamid"] = 1337,
["some steamid"] = 1234
}

local plteam = table[pl:SteamID()];

if(plteam) then
pl:SetTeam(plteam);
end[/lua]
