To get straight to the point In the code I got below, when I try to add a value to a position in the “TestTable” the value either append to each inner table (using insert) or overwrite the previous value (Change value directly at index). Looking below may explain this better.
I might just be overlooking something obvious, thanks in advance.
Test System to more easily debug
function mGen.SetupWallsTest(x, y)
local node
for i = 1, y do
local table_t = {}
local table_v = {1}
for n = 1, x do
table.insert(table_t, table_v)
end
table.insert(TestTable, i, table_t)
end
for i = 1, y do
for n = 1, x do
table.insert(TestTable[i][n], 2)
end
end
end
There should only be one “2” per inner most table however, they keep on appending per loop iteration.
Actual Code
function mGen.SetupHorizontalWalls(x, y)
local node
for i = 1, y do
local table_t = {}
local table_v = {1}
for n = 1, x do
table.insert(table_t, table_v)
end
table.insert(HorizWalls, i, table_t)
end
for i = 1, y do
for n = 1, x do
if i == y and n == x then continue
elseif i == y then continue
elseif n == x then
node = mGen.GenerateWallHorizontal(n,i)
print(node)
HorizWalls[i][n][2] = node
--table.insert(HorizWalls[i][n], 2, node)
continue
else
node = mGen.GenerateWallHorizontal(n,i)
print(node)
HorizWalls[i][n][2] = node
--table.insert(HorizWalls[i][n], 2, node)
end
end
end
print(HorizWalls)
end
Output with direct insert.
Values in the innermost table should be as follows
1:1 2:1 … 1:2 2:2 … etc
