I am really newbie in lua. I have this lua code
local gun_info = {
g_sword={rate=0.5;spd=0;dmg=1;ammo=1;};
g_pistol={rate=0.5;spd=5;dmg=1;ammo=40;};
g_knife={rate=0.8;spd=5;dmg=1;ammo=1;};
g_shuriken={rate=0.3;spd=5;dmg=1;ammo=40;};
g_bomb={rate=0.8;spd=5;dmg=1;ammo=20;};
};
I just want get values of every ammo. Other properties are no needed.
for k, v in pairs(gun_info) do
print(k, v[1], v[2], v[3], v[4], v[5])
end
this prints out whole tables but I need just value of ammos
Use comma between table variables rather than semicolon. Using semicolon is not syntactically wrong but optional in Lua. Semicolon is usually used to separate multiple statements written in single line.
You can directly access the variable
ammo
by indexing the key of the tablev.ammo and v[ammo] are not same in Lua.
Note: The order in which the elements appear in traversal will not be the same as you defined and can produce different order each time. This is due to the way tables are implemented in Lua.
