Array element from lua

Question

I'm making a fivem server. But when i tru to pick the job.grade.name he says No grades.

QBShared.Jobs = {
["unemployed"] = {
    label = "Werkloos",
    grades = {
        [0] = {
            name = 'Werkloos',
            payment = 10,
        },
    },
    defaultDuty = true,
},
["police"] = {
    label = "Politie",
    grades = {
        [0] = {
            name = "Politie - Student", **Want to pick this**
            payment = 200,
        },

        [1] = {
            name = 'Aspirant',
            payment = 300,
        },

        [2] = {
            name = 'Agent',
            payment = 400,
        },

        [3] = {
            name = 'Hoofd Agent',
            payment = 400,
        },

        [4] = {
            name = 'Brigadier',
            payment = 400,
        },

        [5] = {
            name = 'Inspecteur',
            payment = 400,
        },

        [6] = {
            name = 'Hoofd Inspecteur',
            payment = 400,
        },

        [7] = {
            name = 'Commissaris',
            payment = 400,
        },

        [8] = {
            name = 'Hoofd Commissaris',
            payment = 400,
        },

        [9] = {
            name = 'Eerste Hoofd Commissaris',
            isboss = true,
            payment = 400,
        },
    },
    defaultDuty = true,

So people can type /baan and then the see Baan: Politie What i want is The must see Baan: Politie - Politie Student

QBCore.Commands.Add("baan", "Kijk wat je baan is", {}, false, function(source, args)
local Player = QBCore.Functions.GetPlayer(source)
TriggerClientEvent('chatMessage', source, "SYSTEM", "warning", "Baan: "..Player.PlayerData.job.label .. ' - ' ..Player.PlayerData.job.grade.name)

end)

Someone can help me? Because i want to learn more about lua but dont get this to work..

Answer 1

'Jobs' needs a string key to access it
and 'grades' needs a numerical index

Player .PlayerData .Jobs [job] .grades [grade] .name

TriggerClientEvent('chatMessage', source, "SYSTEM", "warning", "Baan: "..Player.PlayerData.job.label .. ' - ' ..Player.PlayerData.Jobs[job].grades[grade].name)

I'm assuming that somehow within your game engine, these values get parsed into PlayerData. That'll depend on the functions contained within fivem, and that you've used them properly. Otherwise, to access the raw table data, it's more like this:

print( QBShared.Jobs['police'].label )

Politie

print( QBShared.Jobs['police'].grades[0].name )

Politie - Student

print( QBShared.Jobs['police'].grades[0].payment )

200

if the game rearranges those during import into PlayerData, it might be

Player.PlayerData[job][grade].name

but it's very likely it remains in the original syntax illustrated above.
