Table.sort not working

nerduke1 · October 6, 2024, 11:59am

Hello, I’ve encountered a problem with table.sort , basically even if the script is correct my plugin still fails sorting.

So, I’m making a triangle terrain plugin, and I need to sort the triangles when moving the nodes to keep their color and material in correct order. I’ve tried sorting size, position but every time I update the triangle they show up in a different order.

Example:
Before

After:

if I continue the blue triangle keeps changing on the four wedge parts

My code:

local function UpdCube(Point1, Point2, Point3, Point4,wedge1,wedge2,wedge3,wedge4,newAngle)
	if wedge1 and wedge2 and wedge3 and wedge4 then
		
		local wedgeTable = {{wedge1,wedge1.Size.Z},{wedge2,wedge2.Size.Z},{wedge3,wedge3.Size.Z},{wedge4,wedge4.Size.Z}}
		
		table.sort(wedgeTable, function(a,b)
			return a[2] > b[2]
		end)
		
		upd3dTriangle(Point1.Position,Point2.Position,Point3.Position,wedgeTable[1][1],wedgeTable[2][1],newAngle)
		upd3dTriangle(Point2.Position,Point3.Position,Point4.Position,wedgeTable[3][1],wedgeTable[4][1],newAngle)
	else
		Say("Something went wrong during editing. If this persists, contact the owner")
	end
end

anyone can help?

I might be misunderstanding your issue but instead of checking the Z size, try check its total magnitude.

local wedgeTable = {wedge1, wedge2, wedge3, wedge4}	
table.sort(wedgeTable, function(a,b)
	return a.Size.Magnitude > b.Size.Magnitude
end)

I also cleaned up the table slightly

I dont know what’s going on with the script:
I’ve put your part into my script, but still it wont work:

Code:

local function UpdCube(Point1, Point2, Point3, Point4,wedge1,wedge2,wedge3,wedge4,newAngle)
	if wedge1 and wedge2 and wedge3 and wedge4 then
		
		local wedgeTable = {wedge1, wedge2, wedge3, wedge4}	
		local oldWedgeTable = wedgeTable
		table.sort(wedgeTable, function(a,b)
			return a.Size.Magnitude > b.Size.Magnitude
		end)
		
		if wedgeTable == oldWedgeTable then
			print("order is the same!!")
		end
		
		upd3dTriangle(Point1.Position,Point2.Position,Point3.Position,wedgeTable[1],wedgeTable[2],newAngle)
		upd3dTriangle(Point2.Position,Point3.Position,Point4.Position,wedgeTable[3],wedgeTable[4],newAngle)
	else
		Say("Something went wrong during editing. If this persists, contact the owner")
	end
end

Output

maybe its just the function or its a bug?
(he function still puts wedges in wrong order)

the issue is likely that your sorting method doesn’t provide a stable consistent order when some wedges have equal size z values
try this

local function UpdCube(Point1, Point2, Point3, Point4, wedge1, wedge2, wedge3, wedge4, newAngle)
    if wedge1 and wedge2 and wedge3 and wedge4 then
        local wedgeTable = {
            {wedge1, wedge1.Size.Z, wedge1.Position.X, wedge1.Position.Y, wedge1.Position.Z},
            {wedge2, wedge2.Size.Z, wedge2.Position.X, wedge2.Position.Y, wedge2.Position.Z},
            {wedge3, wedge3.Size.Z, wedge3.Position.X, wedge3.Position.Y, wedge3.Position.Z},
            {wedge4, wedge4.Size.Z, wedge4.Position.X, wedge4.Position.Y, wedge4.Position.Z}
        }
        
        table.sort(wedgeTable, function(a, b)
            if a[2] ~= b[2] then
                return a[2] > b[2]
            elseif a[3] ~= b[3] then
                return a[3] < b[3]
            elseif a[4] ~= b[4] then
                return a[4] < b[4]
            else
                return a[5] < b[5]
            end
        end)
        
        upd3dTriangle(Point1.Position, Point2.Position, Point3.Position, wedgeTable[1][1], wedgeTable[2][1], newAngle)
        upd3dTriangle(Point2.Position, Point3.Position, Point4.Position, wedgeTable[3][1], wedgeTable[4][1], newAngle)
    else
        Say("Something went wrong during editing. If this persists, contact the owner")
    end
end

somehow, it still doesnt work! What should I even do for this? Maybe its an actual roblox bug but I dont think so.

me thinking

ohhh wait… maybe its the points order! I just didnt realize. I’ll try to adjust the nodes order

EDIT: no its not

it looks a bit messy
(also the “newAngle” is a boolean, because my terrain also has cliffs.)
also huge thanks for your help!

You are comparing 2 of the same tables

This does not make a new table, use table.clone()
Also you cant compare tables like that. Instead you need some code like this:

for i,v in table1 do
if table2[i] ~= v then
print("tables are different")
break
end
end

alright, I’ll try this when I will wake up tomorrow, thanks for the help anyway!

I found a solution, pretty easy. Basically I added a new attribute for every wedge, called Index. This number goes from 1 to 4, indicating what wedge was that. So, I only need to re-generate the wedges and done!
Also HUGE thanks to @MythicalRealm_Studio that was so much interested on this.
