Can`t move values from local arg table to other one.

[Andrey01]

Why can i not move values from local "arg" table that takes alll values are hiden in (...) from parameters function to other table?
For example:

Code: Select all

function func(...)
args_list = arg 
for i, v in pairs(args_list) do -- Here args_list gets nil somewhy
--some code

And i get bad arguement #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got nil) when the loop is trying to run "args_list" table.

Try args_list = {...}

Try args_list = {...}

I`ve already tried, but it doesn`t work, either :/

Code: Select all

local args_list = table.pack(...)

Code: Select all

function fun(...)
   local args_list = table.pack(...)
   for k,v in pairs(args_list) do
      print(v)
   end
end
fun(1,2,3)

output: 1,2,3,3
last number must be size, correct me if im wrong

Code: Select all

function fun(...)
   local args_list = {...}
   for k,v in pairs(args_list) do
      print(v)
   end
end
fun(1,2,3)

output: 1,2,3
