Recently, while attempting to add more gamemodes to Redshift Arena, I’ve ran into an issue where for all gamemodes after Team Deathmach, it always returns 0, no matter how many maps are in the table.
local CompatibleMaps = {
CTF = {},
TDM = {},
INF = {},
MTTDM = {},
FFA = {},
CNQST ={},
}
for i, map in pairs(game.ServerStorage.Maps.CoreMaps:GetChildren()) do
if map.CompatibleGamemodes then
for x, gamemode in pairs(map.CompatibleGamemodes:GetChildren()) do
if CompatibleMaps[gamemode.Name] then
table.insert(CompatibleMaps[gamemode.Name],x,map)
warn("Number of compatible maps: "..#CompatibleMaps[gamemode.Name], "Gamemode: "..gamemode.Name, "Map: "..map.Name)
end
end
end
end
Here’s how the maps are structured:
If anyone has any solutions to this, please let me know!
So let’s say, you have two maps that are compatible with TDM, CTF, and FFA.
Based on what gamemodes they’re compatible with, that map will be added to the corresponding table in the script.
The warn function at the bottom is supposed to get the “children” of said table and display the number of maps in that table.
For example, since there’s 2 maps that are compatible with CTF, TDM, and FFA, the
#CTF
#TDM
#FFA
Are all supposed to return 2, since two maps are compatible with all three.
However, somewhere I messed up because even if FFA has 2 maps in it, it’ll always return 0, even if it was successfully added to the table, to my knowledge at least.
EDIT
I have discovered that if you have more than 2 gamemodes associated with a map, it cancels out everything after the 2nd gamemode. For example,
CTF,
TDM,
FFA
FFA straight up gets omitted and I have to manually create a map specifically for that gamemode.
table.insert takes up to 3 arguments.
The first one being the table that you’re inserting the value into, the second one being the value you’re inserting, and the third one is the position, which defaults to #n + 1
you’re using i,map in pairs, which means i is the index and map is the value
but you’re using map in the third argument
x is the index of the second loop for x, gamemode in pairs(map.CompatibleGamemodes:GetChildren()) do
this leads me to believe that you can solve the problem by flipping it to table.insert(CompatibleMaps[gamemode.Name],map,x)
It seems when you are doing warn() it is inside of the loop, the values are outputted before everything has been added to the list. This is causing your code to spew out way more information than you want.
I created a separate loop that indexes the table after each value has been added and prints the values, it seems to be accurate.
local CompatibleMaps = {
CTF = {},
TDM = {},
INF = {},
MTTDM = {},
FFA = {},
CNQST ={},
}
for i, map in pairs(game.ServerStorage.Maps.CoreMaps:GetChildren()) do
if map.CompatibleGamemodes then
for x, gamemode in pairs(map.CompatibleGamemodes:GetChildren()) do
if CompatibleMaps[gamemode.Name] then
table.insert(CompatibleMaps[gamemode.Name],1,map)
end
end
end
end
for gamemode,maps in pairs(CompatibleMaps) do
local compatibleMaps = 0
local strMaps = {}
for i,map in pairs(maps) do
compatibleMaps = compatibleMaps + 1
if i > 1 then
table.insert(strMaps,#strMaps+1,", ")
end
table.insert(strMaps,#strMaps+1,map.Name)
end
warn("Number of compatible maps: ".. compatibleMaps, "Gamemode: "..gamemode, "Maps: ".. table.concat(strMaps))
end
Your second solution worked to solve my issue! Seems I had been using an unneeded variable that would actually prove to hurt with more than two gamemodes included in a single map.
