So here's the thing, i'm trying to make a fully customizable UI in computercraft, using lua arrays, and when I use this, ui seems to always be empty
function dupChar(char, num)
ret = ''
for ii=1,num do
ret = ret..char
end
return ret
end
function drawLoad()
--Pattern:
-- X, Y, Text, FG, BG, Disabled for op, button action
ui = {}
ui.hungerStart = {3,4,'[',nil,nil,false,'none'}
ui.hungerMid1 = {ui.hungerStart[1] + 1,ui.hungerStart[2],dupChar('-',20),nil,nil,false,'none'}
ui.hungerMid2 = {ui.hungerStart[1] + 1,ui.hungerStart[2],hunger,nil,nil,false,'none'}
ui.hungerStop = {ui.hungerStart[1] + 21,ui.hungerStart[2],']',nil,nil,false,'none'}
ui.healthStart = {3,6,'[',nil,nil,false,'kill'}
ui.healthMid1 = {ui.healthStart[1] + 1,ui.healthStart[2],dupChar('-',20),nil,nil,false,'health'}
ui.healthMid2 = {ui.healthStart[1] + 1,ui.healthStart[2],health,nil,nil,false,'health'}
ui.healthStop = {ui.healthStart[1] + 21, ui.healthStart[2],']',nil,nil,false,'heal'}
end
function drawAdv(pName, page)
isOp = false
pHealth = 10
pHunger = 10
health = dupChar('$',pHealth)
hunger = dupChar('@',pHunger)
drawLoad()
color(custCol.default[1], custCol.default[2])
stat.clear()
term.clear()
for index, value in ipairs(ui) do
x, y, text, fg, bg, disOp, action = value[1],value[2],value[3],value[3],value[4],value[5],value[6]
color(custCol.default[1], custCol.default[2])
cur(x,y)
if disOp then
color(custCol.disOp[1], custCol.disOp[2])
else
color(fg,bg)
end
awrite(text)
end
end
The other thing is to know if
for index, x, y, text, fg, bg, disOp, action in ipairs(ui) do
or
for index, value in ipairs(ui) do
x, y, text, fg, bg, disOp, action = value[1],value[2],value[3],value[3],value[4],value[5],value[6]
is the way to get the list's entries
NB: the code is a bit messy, but it's because i tried to make it possible to use without using it in ComputerCraft as much as possible (some functions are still here and will not work with lua though)
Thank you for reading and maybe helping me :)
for index, value in ipairs(ui) do
local x, y, text, fg, bg, disOp, action = unpack(value)
-- do something
end
function dupChar(char, num)
return char:rep(num)
end
