table.concat .. Am I doin i 'rong' ??

Post by breakone9r »

Code: Select all

function mm_mapper()
  chartables = gmcp.char.status
  tablestring = table.concat(chartables)
  echo(tablestring)
end
I have a populated roomtables variable, but tablestring variable is completely devoid of any strings.

what am I doing wrong here? I'm trying to teach myself both lua and gmcp here. LOL

I don't see where chartables is set in the code above. I find it's best to give table.concat the separator to use to glue the table together as well. so table.concat(chartables, ",") to glue it with commas, table.concat(chartables, " ") for spaces, etc.

add a display(chartables) before the table.concat call. also check for errors in the error view

Well. display shows it, but concat still doesnt do anything? I'm probably using it wrong. I'll fiddle with it some more.

Thank you very much for the help.
