| I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this.
I'm building an inventory table from the wildcards table returned from a trigger. I want to insert the wildcards table into the inventory table only if it's unique and add a quantity field at position 0, if it's not I want to add 1 to the quantity field.
This is what I have so far:
wildcards[0] = nil
if #invTcache == 0 then
table.insert (invTcache, wildcards)
invTcache[1][0] = 1
else
t = invTcache
for i,v in pairs (t) do
if v[3] == wildcards[3] then
invTcache[i][0] = invTcache[i][0] + 1
else
table.insert (invTcache, wildcards)
invTcache[i][0] = 1
end
end
end
Wildcard table:
1="159820476"
2=""
3="a @Wsugar @Ycoated @Cdonut@w"
4="0"
5="14"
6="0"
7="-1"
8="-1"
1="157482523"
2=""
3="a water flask"
4="0"
5="12"
6="0"
7="-1"
8="-1"
What I want to finish with:
1:
1="159820476"
2=""
3="a @Wsugar @Ycoated @Cdonut@w"
4="0"
5="14"
6="0"
7="-1"
8="-1"
0="1" <<--- item count
2:
1="157482523"
2=""
3="a water flask"
4="0"
5="12"
6="0"
7="-1"
8="-1"
0="2" <<--- item count

| Try something like this:
wildcards[0] = nil
if #invTcache == 0 then
table.insert (invTcache, wildcards)
invTcache[1][0] = 1
else
t = invTcache
found = false
-- search for match, change found to true if we find one
for k,v in pairs (t) do
if v[3] == wildcards[3] then
found = true
invTcache[k][0] = invTcache[k][0] + 1
end
end
if not found then
wildcards[0] = 1
table.insert (invTcache, wildcards)
end
end
