Introversion

I cannot figure this out. So maybe one of you can take a second and tell me what the right thing is here.

The specific line below that is grief is the 'IsValidTerritory'. we have the allteams table. the first argument in IsValidTerritory is a teamid. But the line dies and says I am supplying nil.

What am I supposed to put there so that I iterate through all the team IDs to check this particular part of the globe?

[code]
allteams = GetAllTeamIDs()
SendChat( # allteams)
counter = 0

for i, team in next, allteams do
SendChat(i)
if IsValidTerritory (team:GetTeamID(), x+dx, y+dy, True) then
counter = counter + 1
end
end

GetTeamID (someID)
cityID:GetTeamID ()
unitID:GetTeamID ()

You are trying to pass TeamID as cityID or unitID, that's the problem. In short:



I'm sure others will come along and give you a real answer, but here goes nothing...

I just want it to loop against the TeamIDs... your code is looping through every city.

I know I have 2 TeamIDs in my allteams{} table, but I don't know how to iterate and present them as the first argument in IsValidTerritory.

Well, why didn't you say so?!



Actually, I should have seen that.

Edit: I did test it and it works, of course ipairs would do it in 'order'.

Does counter ever go over 1? It doesn't seem to

Ya the proper argument is <team>.

If I am not precise with my terms, I apologize... I guess I am not used to talking about coding!

Well, it will if it (in my code anyway) hits a random spot that meets the criteria. Mine uses math.random because I didn't know what x+dx, y+dy were. It only loops once for each team, so it only get's one shot per team.

I have been able to get the counter up to four with six players.

Problem #2

I build an array called MyWaterMap. In that array I (am hopefully) inserting co-ordinates of my ocean as follows:



Now I want to look at all the points in my array iteratively to evaluate if those points are shared points. How do I write my FOR loop and my IF statement?

Below: FOR/IF not working...

Guessing you want:


and not:

I want each separate line in the table to be x,y co-ordinates...

and then to be able to iterate through each x,y co-ordinate pair to evaluate for a condition. And perhaps after build a new table if that condition is true with the elements that meet the condition.

Yeah, but you're using table.insert wrong. Here are the definitions for it:

table.insert(table, val)
table.insert(table, pos, val)

By giving 3 arguments your x value is setting the position of your y value in the table. What you need to do is insert the values as a table (by enclosing them with curly braces). Your for loop already expects each item in your table to be a table, hence ocean[1] and ocean[2].

May be this will make it clearer:


Also, what's the next in the for loop?

Got it figured out...finally.

Using this code? My counter is always either 0 or 1

Thought you had it figured out?

Also, can somebody join and spec? Whomever BOT TestBot is keeps getting kicked/dropped and I want to see if it happens to everybody. Bonus: my fleet movement basic combat code pseudo works. That is, ships react and launch bombers.

Figured out 4 different things. and just figured this one out. Baaad typo in the code I just posted. LOL!
