Is there any way to put an XML into the script '[XML code here]' when I try to put one in I always get an error

Just put the xml in a string that starts and ends with two square brackets.

a dit :

xml = [[<C><P ><S><The rest of the XML here>]]
tfm.exec.newGame(xml)

 

Why the math.random() choose three values instead one? I want only one value, but sometimes it choose three...

a dit :

players = {}
math.random(players[math.random(#players)])

The table has values.

No, I mean the script thing

that way it can show an XML in the script start
edit: apparently < can't be used in the chat, so oh well, nvm

Ooooh, you mean with printing the XML. You can simply do that with the gsub() function:

a dit :

xml = [[<C><P ><S><The rest of the XML here>]]
xml = xml:gsub("<", "&lt;")
print(xml)

Laagaadoo a dit :

players = {}
math.random(players[math.random(#players)])

That script is wrong; basically math.random(a,b) is used to return a random NUMBER between a and b, for example math.random(1,10) returns a random number between 1 and 10.
Likewise, math.random is used among tables to return a random number to be the index of this table, for example:

a dit :

players={"Safwanrockz","Laagaadoo"}
print(players[1])

This will print the FIRST value of the players table, which is "Safwanrockz".

a dit :

players={"Safwanrockz","Laagaadoo"}
print(players[math.random(0,#players)])

math.random() here will return a random number between 0 and the length of players table (which is 2), and then this number will be as a random index of the players table, hence a random value of the players table will be printed.
Note that if math.random() is used with only one argument, it returns a random number between 0 and the argument you specified; for example math.random(9) returns a random number between 0 and 9.

Thanks! The eventLoop influences the math.random ? I placed it in the eventLoop inside a "timer".

What do you exacly mean ?
Also , eventLoop will call it more then once and it will chose a random number more then once !
You could put it outside the loop to chose a random number only once for all the time

E : Saf you ninjad ! ;)

It works if it's within a body of an if statement, but preferably remove it from eventLoop().

I want choose a random player in 10 seconds, maybe the problem is the eventLoop()...

oh
hmm
What do you want to do with him? xD

a dit :

t = 0

PLRS = {"Laagaadoo", "someoneslese..."}
function eventLoop()
t = t + 0.5
if t<=10 then
local player = PLRS[math.random(#PLRS)]
t = 0
print(player)
end
end

---------You can also do this-------------

a dit :

PLRS = {}
function eventNewPlayer(name)
table.insert(PLRS, name)
end
for k,v in pairs(tfm.get.room.playerList) do
eventNewPlayer(k)
end
function eventLoop()
t = t + 0.5
if t<=10 then
local player = PLRS[math.random(#PLRS)]
t = 0
print(player)
end
end

Simosc no longer plays so i would like to learn how to code lua. I just don't know where to start...

There is so much information in the opening document
