not a mistake, i have no idea why i wrote this. i don't know when i wrote it. it was just on my desktop.

i don't even see the point of it, really.[/QUOTE]
mind if i use this? :p

Yesterday I was looping through a table, returning false if something wasn't right :/

[lua]
for k, v in pairs(player:GetWeapons()) do
print(v:GetClass().." : "..v:GetNWString("ItemID"));
local weaponSearch = RP.item:GetWeapon(v);
if (weaponSearch and string.lower(weaponSearch.ammoClass) == string.lower(self.ammoClass)) then
weaponTable = weaponSearch;
else
player:Notify("You need a gun that uses that ammo!");
return false;
end;
end;
[/lua]

I don't know how I managed to not realize that return false was terminating the function. I hate when you look over little things >.<

Of course I fixed it though

[lua]
for k, v in pairs(player:GetWeapons()) do
print(v:GetClass().." : "..v:GetNWString("ItemID"));
local weaponSearch = RP.item:GetWeapon(v);
if (weaponSearch and string.lower(weaponSearch.ammoClass) == string.lower(self.ammoClass)) then
weaponTable = weaponSearch;
end;
end;
if (weaponTable) then
player:GiveAmmo(self.rounds, self.ammoClass);
player:SetAmmoData();
self:RemoveInventory(player);
else
self:Notify("You have no weapon equiped that uses that ammo!");
end;
[/lua]

If you [B]really[/B] want to correct people, atleast show them the right code.

[TGiFallen]

[lua]
table = {}

local function table.Test()
end

:suicide:
The worst part about it is that the error message is not helpful at all.

[Sam 01 1]

if condition ~= true then
--something
wait()
else
--something else
end

I don't remember the exact content, but that's pretty much what I did.

[QUOTE=Loures;31944765]If you [B]really[/B] want to correct people, atleast show them the right code.[/QUOTE]

Wait was he trying to correct me?

[lua]
local _ply = player.GetAll();
local i;

for i=1, #_ply do
print(i, _ply[i]);
end
[/lua]

At least try and correct me in an efficient manner

[lorde banana]

since when do you have to set a localized i in that

[King Penisless]

[QUOTE=Banana Lord.;31948141]since when do you have to set a localized i in that[/QUOTE]

Its just preference

[ralle105]

It's pointless since the for loop creates it's i variable in it's own scope, thus your local i will never be used.

[editline]26th August 2011[/editline]

But the luA compiler most likely disposes of it anyways so it's not a problem.

[editline]26th August 2011[/editline]

Nope, seems it keeps the local (read: you're a psychotic monster and a criminal for wasting memory!)

Was trying to get brush-based planetary gravity working a day or two ago, it refused to work.
Then I reset the collision bounds with lua_run and it worked, turned out I was setting up the original collisions [i]before[/i] I spawned the entity, so they just got reset to nothing again.

I nearly kicked myself when I noticed this.
This is what happens when I get up the early side of noon :v:

If typos count, I spent nearly 2 hours searching for a problem when I just typed %% instead of &&. :\

Even experienced coders make silly mistakes. It's part of the job/hobby.

[PortalGod]

timer.Simple(1, function() print("shit") end)

It's not the dumbest, but it's one I make fairly often.

[QUOTE=PortalGod;32050535]timer.Simple(1, function() print("shit") end)

There's nothing wrong with that code.

Do you mean to say you use lambada functions in inefficient ways?

[PortalGod]

[QUOTE=Slight;32050772]There's nothing wrong with that code.

It's pointless, you should be doing timer.Simple(1, print, "shit") instead. It's making a function to call a function.
