-----what i want to know is will any args i put in the args table works depending on its function ? for string things it works but
i want to know if something like this works too , if it does not work plesse tell me and correct this part because i usually want to work with args which are not
strings
and also , any better ways to use args without this args table ?-----
_G.settings={
Methods={
functions={[1988]=function(...) game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.PrimaryPart.Position=Vector3.new(...) end},
args={[1988]={1,2,3}}
}
}
local value='1988'
for i,v in next,settings.Methods.functions or {} do
if value==tostring(i) then
xpcall(function()
v(table.unpack(settings.Methods.args[i]))
end,
function(err) warn('Error : '..err) end)
end
end
]]

args={[1988]={'this is an example arg'}}
}
}
local value='1988'
for i,v in next,settings.Methods.functions or {} do
if value==tostring(i) then
xpcall(function()
v(table.unpack(settings.Methods.args[i]))
end,
function(err) warn('Error : '..err) end)
end
end
First of all, next time include your question out of the code, it becomes a little bit too complicated to read it if it’s within the code.
Second of all, pretty sure this code doesn’t work when trying to access the arguments as the first argument index is 1988, and your function goes from 1 to #functions. I say this because later on you try to index .args[i]. And v takes the value of a function, so… Kinda lost on the evaluation for value == tostring(i).
Now coming back to your question, there’s nothing wrong on passing a table as arguments to a function, even though a general structure for multiple arguments (less than 4) is to have them as tuples, example:
local function foo(first, second, third)
print(first, second, third)
end
And for functions that require >= 4 arguments, it’s preferred to use tables as the only argument.
type TableArgument = { first: string, second: string, third: string, fourth: string }
local function foo(argument: TableArgument)
local first = argument.first
local second = argument.second
...
print(first, second, third, fourth)
end
foo({ x = "Hello, world!" })
Now, I can see that your program is using io library, which is not permitted within the Roblox platform. Also, using _G for this type of scenarios just seems weird and unnecessary, try considering ModuleScripts.
I know io doesn’t exist in roblox , this is because currently i am on mobile and i am using io library as a test subject on an app called luaDroid, so this thing i asked is because i am trying to make an advanced keypad system to improve my lua knowledge. So i wanted to know if i can pass any kind of datas as the args in the args table depending on the its function, here is the code which i haven’t tested on pc since i dont have access to my pc now
_G.settings={
TextWhenSuccess=nil,--string
TextWhenIncorrect=nil,--string
MaxDigits=nil,--number
SecretEvents=nil--table -> {[1234]=function()print'1234'end} -> i=secretCode & v=function
}
local buttons=script.Parent
local textlabel=buttons.Parent.Part_That_The_SurfaceGui_Is_In.SurfaceGui.TextLabel
local value=''
local function RandomCode(MaxDigits)
if MaxDigits and MaxDigits>18 then
return error'Can Not Enter More Than 18 Digits'
elseif MaxDigits and MaxDigits<=0 then
return 0
else
local vary1,vary2=1,9;
for i=1,(MaxDigits or 4)-1 do
vary1=vary1..0;
vary2=vary2..9;
end
return math.random(vary1,vary2)
end
end
local code=RandomCode(settings.MaxDigits)
print(code)
for i,v in next,buttons:GetChildren() do
if v:FindFirstChildOfClass'ClickDetector'==nil then
Instance.new('ClickDetector',v)
end
end
for i,v in next,buttons:GetChildren() do
v:WaitForChild'ClickDetector'.MouseClick:Connect(function(plr)
if (rawlen(value)==rawlen(tostring(code)) and v.Name:lower()~='enter' and v.Name:lower()~='backspace') then
return
end
if v.Name:lower()=='enter' then
if value==tostring(code) then
value=''
textlabel.Text=settings.TextWhenSuccess or 'Correct'
elseif value~=tostring(code) then
for i,v in next,settings.SecretEvents or {} do
if value==tostring(i) then
value=''
textlabel.Text='SecretEvent Activated'
coroutine.wrap(v)()
elseif value~=tostring(i) then
value=''
textlabel.Text=settings.TextWhenIncorrect or 'Incorrect'
end
end
end
elseif v.Name:lower()=='backspace' then
value=value:sub(1,rawlen(value)-1)
textlabel.Text=value
else
value=value..tostring(v.Name)
textlabel.Text=value
end
end)
end
As long as it’s not a function being passed over the network, or any kind of value that may be lost (like mixed tables) along the networking, functions can take whatever you want as arguments.

Okay thanks for telling about that
