Like this:

Code: Select all

local position = minetest.env:get_player_by_name(name):getpos()
print(tostring(position))
That ought to work, havn't tested it. Try it yourself :3

Topic: How does one use a string variable to refrence a table in ipairs() [ or any other thing for that matter]

Reason: I have multiple tables which are refrenced by string variables that I need to be able to use. (Ranks module for ServerXtended)

EG:

Code: Select all

t = {steve="steve"}

tablename = "t"

for i,v in ipairs(tablename) do print(v) end
More Info: I've tried but I can't seem to make it work.

Erm, I don't see how that will help here.

The error I get is this:
bad argument #1 to 'pairs' table expected, got nil

Oh, sorry, I havent read the whole question. You have to use pairs() to access fields that are not indexed by integers.
And you have to pass the table and not a string with the name to pairs() or ipairs(). AFAIK you cant convert a string to a variable name in Lua.

Not Good.... Now I have to rethink the whole format I have been saving this in...

EDIT: Got some help on IRC:

Code: Select all

Admins = { 

privs = { 
"se_admin=true", "se_player=true", "homes=true" 
} 

}

group = "Admins"

--print(tostring(_G[group])) Works properly, gives me the table ID.

print(tostring(_G[group..'["privs"]']))

That ought to give me the table ID. But no, still returns nil. Can someone help me use that to print a table within a table?

you could make it check every server-step and if the privs are not right then have it set the privs

The engine uses a random color if the texture isnt found.

That isn't what happened, it looks fine until I place a bunch next to each other.

Try the Moreblocks mod and try and build something large with it. Then you will see what I mean.

Did you disable the texture atlas in your minetest.conf? If I don't, on redcrab my cacti-block Oracle get yellow stripes.

enable_texture_atlas = false

All you need is a good text editor, preferably one with Lua-specific syntax highlighting, good coding skills in general, the Minetest modding API, and one of the various Lua tutorials out there.
