Indexing is not working

That’s strange, what does NumberPoint print out?

#6

Number… 5 didn’t you read post

#7

Try this?

function module.GetPointTime(Player,NumberPoint)
	local PlayerData = module.CheckIfPlayerExistsInTable(Player)
	print(NumberPoint,PlayerData)
	if (PlayerData[NumberPoint]) then
		print("Found player at getpointtime")
		print(os.clock() - PlayerData.Points[NumberPoint])
		print(PlayerData.Points[NumberPoint])
		return os.clock() - PlayerData.Points[NumberPoint]
	end
	return 0
end
#8

no.
Points are at PlayerData.Points[NumberPoint]

#9

Can you run this and see what it prints

for i, v in pairs(PlayerData.Points) do
	print(i, v, type(i), type(v))
end

Well you are printing a different table then what you are checking.

Any idea why it won’t work? D:

Does this print nil?

print(PlayerData.Points[NumberPoint])

My guess would be floating point rounding.
What data type did you intend the key of the value and NumberPoint to be (float or integer?)?

Don’t know what you mean
I’ll show more of the code;

local module = {}

function module.CheckIfPlayerExistsInTable(p)
	if (module[p]) then
		return module[p]
	end
	return {Points = {},LastKey = ''}
end

function module.StorePointAndTick(Player,startpoint)
	if not (StarterPoint) then
		StarterPoint = startpoint
	end
	local PlayerData = module.CheckIfPlayerExistsInTable(Player)
	local PointKey = StarterPoint + 1
	StarterPoint += 1
	if (PlayerData.Points[PointKey]) then
		print("Found",PointKey,"Return :D")
		return; -- Makes sure we don't duplicate pointkey
	end
	PlayerData.Points[PointKey] = os.clock()
	PlayerData.LastKey = PointKey
	print("Add",PointKey)
	module[Player] = PlayerData 
end

function module.UntickLastPoint(Player)
	local PlayerData = module.CheckIfPlayerExistsInTable()
	local PointK = PlayerData.LastKey
	if (PointK) then
		if (PlayerData.Points[PointK]) then
			PlayerData.Points[PointK] = os.clock() - PlayerData.Points[PointK]
			--print("Unticking")
		end
	end
end

function module.GetPointTime(Player,NumberPoint)
	local PlayerData = module.CheckIfPlayerExistsInTable(Player)
	NumberPoint = NumberPoint and tonumber(NumberPoint)
	print(NumberPoint,PlayerData)
	if (PlayerData.Points[NumberPoint]) then
		print("Found player at getpointtime")
		print(os.clock() - PlayerData.Points[NumberPoint])
		return os.clock() - PlayerData.Points[NumberPoint]
	end
	return 0
end

return module

Anyone has any idea what might be causing this?

#19

Can you clearify what part of it don’t you know what I mean?
Does NumberPoint equal to the 5 key in the Points table (from floating point perspective)? It’ll only index if they rawequal to each other. (Test it via next or pairs)

So what do you expect me to do?
It won’t return the value, and I don’t know why,
local a = {
[1] = ‘hi’
}
local b = a[1]
print(b)
This is literally what I’m doing

And what do you mean with “floating point perspective”??

#21

@sleitnick @daftcube ,very sorry for this @, could you check this out and attempt to help me?
For me now it’s just esoteric.

#22

I believe @Blockzez is wanting to know whether the index is 5 exactly (integer 5), or if it is being rounded to 5 in the display (a floating point number such as 5.00000001).

So, why don’t I just floor the number, would that work?

#24

You were right, it was a instance, how could I letted this pass.
Sad the new print(Instance) returns the name of it… makes it hard to debug
