Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1 
local WardenData = {
	
	

	["test"] = {
		AttackStartTime = 0.25,
		AttackDuration = 0.25,
		AttackMissedRecovery = 1,
		AttackRecovery = 1.5,
	}}
	

return WardenData

So basically i want to have individiual datas for characters into a place and acess it whenever i need to. is this the best way to do it? because it currently works but i kinda wanna also do type checking aswell so it feels more organised

im kinda bad at explaining this hopefully you get the point
an example would be like charactes in games where diffrent characters would have diffrent stats

If you are referring to grabbing default stats for NPCs or stats for gear from a module script, then I would say that’s a good use of it. I’m actually currently doing this with a game I’m working on and it definitely helps me organize my code, cause I can just easily retrieve the data via → gameInfo["Bacon Burger"].Energy

As for checking the type of data it is, you can just use type() or typeof() after you retrieve it. However, I’m not exactly sure why you would need to do this because I would assume that you wouldn’t be changing the data type or even changing the data at all in the module script.

the type checking i mean like in the module script so i could autofill the data easily but thanks that gave me a better idea to do it

You have to index a typo on a variable to make it even do “his work” this would do nothing…

Example:

local module = {}

--simple typo

type Test = {
	TestAttack: (() -> ())? | EnumItem? | boolean? | BodyForce?;
	TestDamage: number;
	TestName: string | number;
	TestSomething: (number, string) -> {any}
}

local TestVariable: Test = {
	TestAttack = true,
	TestDamage = 10,
	TestName = "Dog :skull:",
	TestSomething = function(a, b)
		return {a+tonumber(b)}
	end,
}

return module

is this correct?
sorry im kinda dumb just wanted to double check

#10

Yeah, it is totally right, you can organize your code with this, if you want a good typo in your game else you don’t have to as you feel it’s better for you, like that, though it’s perfect, so yeah all good.

^
a part of my other script code

how can i make it global like it gets the type
sorry bad explanation

like i could get the autofill and stuff on other scripts

#12

You mean it can be seen in every script you require the module on? If so use export before the type.
Hope this helps!

#13

You first have to index the “AttackWardenData” with all the values.
