How insert a table inside another table?

TenerPVPs · March 31, 2020, 7:07pm

I made my datastore, that is my datastore table`

    ["Stats"] = {
	       ["Strength"] = {
		      ["Value"] = 0;
		      ["Multiplier"] = 0;
		      ["Boost"] = 0;
	       };
	       ["Endurance"] = {
		      ["Value"] = 0;
		      ["Multiplier"] = 0;
		      ["Boost"] = 0;
	       };
	       ["Mind"] = {
		      ["Value"] = 0;
		      ["Multiplier"] = 0;
		      ["Boost"] = 0;
	       };
           ["Jump"] = {
		      ["Value"] = 0;
		      ["Multiplier"] = 0;
		      ["Boost"] = 0;
           };	
           ["Speed"] = {
		      ["Value"] = 0;
		      ["Multiplier"] = 0;
		      ["Boost"] = 0;
		   }    
        };
        ["Leard"] = {
	          ["Reputation"] = 0;
	          ["Rank"] = "Innocent";
        };
        ["Missions"] = {
	    
        };
        ["Skills"] = {
	
        };
        ["Gold"] = 0

So i starded make the script to add skill for players, a skill have a lot of properties, so i need create a table per skill, so i made that method

    local ServerData = {}

local module = {}

 function module.New(p,data)
	ServerData[p.UserId] = data
	print("Hiii iam creating here")
 end

 function module.Get()
   return ServerData
 end

 function module.SetStats(p, Stat, I, Value)
	ServerData[p.UserId]["Stats"][""..Stat][""..I] = Value
 end

 function module.SetLeard(p, I, Value)
	ServerData[p.UserId]["Leard"][""..I] = Value
 end
 --Here that is the method
 function module.AddSkill(p, Name, Type, Element, Desc, Mana, Stamina, Level, MaxLevel, Upcost)
	print(Name..Type..Element..Desc..Mana..Stamina..Level..MaxLevel..Upcost)
	local TableD = {
	    [""..Name] = {
		  ["Type"] = Type;
		  ["Element"] = Element;
		  ["Desc"] = Desc;
		  ["Mana"] = Mana,
		  ["Stamina"] = Stamina;
		  ["Level"] = Level;
		  ["MaxLevel"] = MaxLevel;
		  ["Upcost"] = Upcost
	    }
	}
	
	table.insert(ServerData[p.UserId]["Skills"],#ServerData[p.UserId]["Skills"] + 1,TableD)
	print(unpack(ServerData[p.UserId]["Skills"][1]))
 end

 function module.RemoveD(p)
	ServerData[p.UserId] = nil 
 end

return module

The method is “module.AddSkill”, but for any reason dont work, the unpack dont print nothing

I already printed the values and they arent nill "print(Name…Type…Element…Desc…Mana…Stamina…Level…MaxLevel…Upcost)"

I dont know what iam doing wrong, please helpme me

Try replacing:

table.insert(ServerData[p.UserId]["Skills"],#ServerData[p.UserId]["Skills"] + 1,TableD)

with:

table.insert(ServerData[p.UserId]["Skills"],TableD)

because it automatically places it at the end for you.

The reason it prints nothing is because there is nothing in the skills table

["Skills"] = { 

};

Edit: oops, I read wrong, sorry

TenerPVPs · March 31, 2020, 7:15pm

nothing, but after i pute on table.insert is supposed to have

TenerPVPs · March 31, 2020, 7:16pm

still dont print nothing

VegetationBush · March 31, 2020, 7:21pm

I think the reason is that in TableD, there is another table inside it, so I would recommend printing this line

print(unpack(ServerData[p.UserId]["Skills"][1][1]))

I don’t have studio with me right now so I’m not really sure if it’s right or not.

TenerPVPs · March 31, 2020, 7:23pm

Still dont work

VegetationBush · March 31, 2020, 7:27pm

Can you loop through the table and see if there is anything printed?

for i, v in pairs(ServerData) do
    print(v)
    for i, w in pairs(v) do
        print(w)
        for i, x in pairs(w) do
            print(x)
        end
    end
end

lol worked, but for any reason dont work on unpack and if i make that

TenerPVPs · March 31, 2020, 7:34pm

As supposed to be [“PureBlaster”] the name

VegetationBush · March 31, 2020, 7:36pm

To help you, here’s a documentation about tables on the Developer Hub. And you can probably figure out why table.unpack wasn’t working. Surprisingly, I learned something about unpack today.

TenerPVPs · March 31, 2020, 7:36pm

But print isnt working too that make no sense

VegetationBush · March 31, 2020, 7:38pm

The reason it won’t print is because either there was an error, or there was an yield in the script that prevented it from printing. For example, wait() is a yield.

Drewel112233 · March 31, 2020, 7:41pm

If that is true, then shouldn’t there be a warning in the output tab saying an infinite yield is active? I see no warning in the photos @TenerPVPs has sent

VegetationBush · March 31, 2020, 7:43pm

No, there isn’t. That’s only for yields that are infinite, but I meant temporary yields, hence the example of wait().

I use DataStore2… it’s been a godsend and allows you to easily save large amounts of data effortlessly. I just start with a basic module to set up my dozens of values, and sub values, and then through the rest of my systems, I can just call the datastore, and save whatever i need to in a few lines.

TenerPVPs · March 31, 2020, 8:10pm

the problem here is insert table into table, isnt the datastore

TenerPVPs · March 31, 2020, 8:13pm

need bee [1]["PureBlaster’’], have any way to put PureBlaster as index instead the number 1?

VegetationBush · March 31, 2020, 8:43pm

I don’t know what you mean, can you explain a bit?

Drewel112233 · March 31, 2020, 8:45pm

he means he wants a table to be inside another table
