[code]local Test = { Value = 1229174882 }
PrintTable(Test)
local JSON = util.TableToJSON( Test )
print(JSON)
local Table = util.JSONToTable( JSON )
PrintTable(Table)[/code]
The value goes from 1229174882 to 1229170048.
Fixed by using a string instead of an integer.
None the less its broken.
Thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to do that ^^
Confirmation makes me feel like I know what I'm doing xD
(not to mention that's kind of a major issue, could have a beginner stumped for weeks as you assume the functions provided to you work(which is a huge flaw in anyone's logic))
I don't know if these two issues are directly related, I could see in the background a table being converted to a string via util.TableToJSON and sent to the client via string then converted back to a table with util.JSONToTable, but either way here is the same issue with an integer of 1229174882 being converted to 1229174912
[code]local TestTable = {
TestInt = 1229174882
}
PrintTable(TestTable)
util.AddNetworkString( "TestMsg" )
net.Start( "TestMsg" )
net.WriteTable( TestTable )
net.Broadcast()[/code]
This will print 1229174882
[code]
net.Receive( "TestMsg", function(len)
local TestTable = net.ReadTable()
PrintTable(TestTable)
end )[/code]
When it is received via the client the table's value has been increased to 1229174912
It cannot be a limit to integer size due to the fact that the value goes up.
This is highly problematic especially when your using large integer keys in a table (such as having player UniqueID's as the table key.
Of course you could convert to a string then convert back to an integer although strings take up more data and the increased overhead, while negligible, is still an increased overhead by using tonumber() and tostring()
