or remove a new value

#

THE ONES YOURE GETTING

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 12:56 PM

#

WHY WOULD I EVER DO THAT

#

.

#

.

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 12:56 PM

#

WHY WOULD YOU NEVER DO THAT?

#

WHAT IF YOU EDFIT

#

WHAT IF YOU EDIT YOUR STATS

#

ADD ANOTHER ONE

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 12:56 PM

#

if i have to add a new one i need to edit the function anyway?!?

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 12:56 PM

#

OR WHATEVER

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 12:56 PM

#

fossil osprey if i have to add a new one i need to edit the function anyway?!?

no.

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 12:56 PM

#

THEN I NEED TO EDIT IT ANYWAY

#

WHAT

#

okay

#

with a for loop tell me how the HELL i can combine finesse and strength and weaponstats to equal your melee hitrate

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 12:57 PM

#

a simpler example

#

say you have

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 12:57 PM

#

with a for loop

#

or a repeat loop

#

tell me

#

and then explain how thats better than finesse.allcth+strength.allcth+mainhand.cth

#

i still need to add/multiple them

#

is
finesse = forido through datatable to find it
somehow better?

#

because to me thats MORE computing the script needs to do

#

instead of just giving it the direct table path

#

fossil osprey because to me thats MORE computing the script needs to do

one) you will calc this outside the function

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 12:59 PM

#

like, usually what you say makes some sense

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 12:59 PM

#

at the start of the module

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 12:59 PM

#

this time it makes

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 1:00 PM

#

that way you dont have to do it every time its called

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:00 PM

#

NO sense

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 1:00 PM

#

IT DOES

#

hold on

#

if Lake comes he'll be able to explain it better than i can

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:00 PM

#

ionic mica at the start of the module

but i need it to run every time the module is called?

#

if it isnt part of the function it wont use the current data

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 1:00 PM

#

fossil osprey but i need it to run every time the module is called?

you dont need to get the variables every time

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:00 PM

#

... yes i do though?

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 1:00 PM

#

No

#

you can get it

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:01 PM

#

unless you mean

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 1:01 PM

#

outside of the function

#

and use them inside

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:01 PM

#

local a
function a()
a=1
end```

#

which, fine sure

#

still doesnt explain the forido or repeat loop you're suggesting

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 1:01 PM

#

you iterate through the folders

#

and get all the values

#

then set them as needed

#

access their desired values via their names

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:03 PM

#

what

#

oh

#

no, this is a table

#

not instances

#

the itemdatabase i have a modulescript that grabs the item from it's filepath/itemid and returns it

#

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 1:04 PM

#

ok stop

#

you have a module

#

to "concatenate my table"

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:05 PM

#

different module

#

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 1:05 PM

#

thishtrihsithis

#

DataConcatenator

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:05 PM

#

yes

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 1:05 PM

#

why do you need this

#

what are you doing

#

what does it do

#

ok lets simplify this for you

#

you need to access all those values right

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:07 PM

#

it grabs a combination of equipped items and your stats table to generate your character's statistics

#

yes

#

so i need access to them all

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 1:07 PM

#

ok good

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:07 PM

#

thats why they're all referenced as variables

#

because i need them all

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 1:07 PM

#

ok stop

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:07 PM

#

more than once

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 1:08 PM

#

they all have a common "Parent"

#

which is corestats

#

right

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:08 PM

#

no

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 1:08 PM

#

yes

#

i can see it

#

there

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:08 PM

#

NO

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 1:08 PM

#

YES

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:08 PM

#

NO

#

charstats

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 1:08 PM

#

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:08 PM

#

corestats is just your "stats"

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 1:08 PM

#

corestats

#

corestats

#

corestats

#

corestast

#

all the way

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:08 PM

#

oh i typed those wrong

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:10 PM

#

#

there

#

thanks for catching that

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 1:10 PM

#

great

#

common "parent"

#

is charstats

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:10 PM

#

charstats

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 1:10 PM

#

lets start wiuth that

#

define charStats as a variable

#

and replace data.charstats with that

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:11 PM

#

why?

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 1:11 PM

#

trust the process, we'll get somehwere

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 1:11 PM

#

fossil osprey why?

you're accessing it less times

#

more efficient

#

and code looks cleaner

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:11 PM

#

other than "looks cleaner"

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 1:11 PM

#

ionic mica more efficient

.

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 1:11 PM

#

ionic mica you're accessing it less times

.-

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:11 PM

#

is there a legitimate actual reason that makes sense

#

processing wise

#

does it then just check only charstats?

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 1:12 PM

#

fossil osprey processing wise

You're accessing it less times

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:12 PM

#

okay

#

done

#

then do the same for each other group i assume or no?

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 1:13 PM

#

its a start

#

it'll show you how we can loop it later

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:14 PM

#

i still fail to see why looping it even makes remote sense

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 1:15 PM

#

You

#

will see

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:16 PM

#

:/

gentle arch Jan 9, 2025, 1:18 PM

#

fossil osprey i still fail to see why looping it even makes remote sense

checks.. and checks.. and checks.. and checks..

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:19 PM

#

?

#

this script doesnt check anything

gentle arch Jan 9, 2025, 1:19 PM

#

fossil osprey is there a legitimate actual reason that makes sense

imagine a file with less characters in it

#

less memory

#

aight bye

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:20 PM

#

more effort and processing required:

#

whatever

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:20 PM

#

ionic mica will see

alright i've defined every required variable

#

you wont like it though

#

hm

gentle arch Jan 9, 2025, 1:20 PM

#

ionic mica and replace data.charstats with that

talking about this lol

#

u dont wanna repeat the same thing over and over again

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:21 PM

#

ionic mica will see

what if i stored the incoming data in a table? then just data[index] instead of a bunch of local variables?

anyway

what the

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:22 PM

#

i fail to see why there is any "horror" or anything bad really

#

its all the needed variables

#

defined

#

and sorted by where they come from

gentle arch Jan 9, 2025, 1:23 PM

#

woah -1

#

whats that

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:23 PM

#

gentle arch whats that

i use -1 to represent that it has nothing there

#

because i use 0 in some instances

gentle arch Jan 9, 2025, 1:24 PM

#

so u check if it exists

#

doesn't roblox do that already

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:25 PM

#

?

#

no i check if the slot is empty

#

if it has -1 then its empty

#

otherwise it has an item in it

gentle arch Jan 9, 2025, 1:27 PM

#

but u said ~= isnt that 'not equal to'

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:30 PM

#

yes

#

so

#

if NOT empty

#

query the database for its file on the item in that slot

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 1:31 PM

#

understand

#

that you

#

having to even do this

#

means that your system is inherently flawed

#

you NEED to do this?

#

you cant loop through them and check?

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:35 PM

#

ionic mica you cant loop through them and check?

okay

#

tell me how you would loop it

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 1:36 PM

#

gear is a dictionary right

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:36 PM

#

ionic mica means that your system is inherently flawed

youre very objective about this when the only way i can even think of making it work with a forido is so extra

#

yes, i can make each variable an index in an array

#

and set them like that

#

okay

#

now tell me why that even makes sense to bother doing when this works as is perfectly fine

#

to have that loop i then need an array for each thing to set them to

#

thats

#

MORE effort

#

than just setting them manually

#

although i will make the locals into an array

#

that DOES make sense

#

or a dictionary rather

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 1:39 PM

#

ionic mica gear is a dictionary right

local gears = datastats.equipped
for key, gear in gears do
   if gear.itemTier == -1 then return end
   ids[key.."ID"] = DatabaseSearch.itemSearch(gear.itemID)
end

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 1:39 PM

ionic mica ```lua local gears = datastats.equipped for key, gear in gears do if gear.ite...

simple

#

adaptable

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:39 PM

#

what is "gears"

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 1:39 PM

#

your gear table

#

i renamed it to gears

#

there edited

#

typo

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:40 PM

#

what is [key.."ID]

#

what is ids

#

like, i can see why this MIGHT be MAYBE useful

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 1:40 PM

#

key is the name

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:41 PM

#

but also why its completely unnessessary

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 1:41 PM

#

aka hand

#

or neck

gentle arch Jan 9, 2025, 1:41 PM

#

arguing with an s2

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:41 PM

#

there is a MASSIVE difference between "useful" and "clean"

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 1:41 PM

#

fossil osprey but also why its completely unnessessary

its way easier and more daptable

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:41 PM

#

this may be "clean"

#

but its usefulness

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 1:41 PM

#

fossil osprey there is a MASSIVE difference between "useful" and "clean"

IT IS USEFUL

#

IT IS VERY USEFUL

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:41 PM

#

is nil

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 1:41 PM

#

if you change your gear table

#

add a ring

#

or remove it

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:42 PM

#

okay

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 1:42 PM

#

then this adapts to it

fossil osprey Jan 9, 2025, 1:42 PM

THEN I NEED TO EDIT THE FUNCTION ANYWAY

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 1:42 PM

it makes your code shorter and cleaner

#

WIN WIN

ionic mica Jan 9, 2025, 1:42 PM

fossil osprey THEN I NEED TO EDIT THE FUNCTION ANYWAY

which is why

you
