how can I use "for k, j in pairs() do" for 2 arrays in lua?
local blipmarker1 = {
{ x = 10 , y = 5, z = 3 },
{ x = 5, y = 5, z= 3}
}
local blipmarker2 = {
{ x = 100, y= 150, z=30 }
}
function createtext(){
local pos = GetEntityCoords(PlayerPedId(), true)
for k, j in pairs(blipmarker1,blimarker2) do
draw3DText(pos.x, pos.y, pos.z, j.x, j.y, j.z)
end
}
Function pairs() accepts only one argument of type table. You need a loop for each table:
for k,j in pairs(blipmarker1) do
...
end
for k,j in pairs(blipmarker2) do
...
end
You could write your own stateful multipairs iterator. Consult Chapter 9.3 “Coroutines as Iterators” of Programming in Lua for more details: https://www.lua.org/pil/9.3.html
local function multipairs(tables)
return coroutine.wrap(function()
for _, t in pairs(tables) do -- Maybe you want ipairs here
for k, v in pairs(t) do
coroutine.yield(k, v)
end
end
end)
end
local blipmarker1 = {
{ x = 10 , y = 5, z = 3 },
{ x = 5, y = 5, z= 3}
}
local blipmarker2 = {
{ x = 100, y= 150, z=30 }
}
for _, j in multipairs{blipmarker1, blipmarker2} do
print(j.x, j.y, j.z)
end
nextto move through 2 arrays together. But i am unsure how the code in you post is expected to behave. Does the loop only run once? because blipmarker2 only has 1 value or does it run twice because blipmarker1 has 2 values and during the second loop blipmarker2 is nilfor _, bm in ipairs{blipmarker1,blimarker2} do for k, j in pairs(bm) do .... end end
