19:10	PilzAdam	Taoki, do you still need help with the Lua script for player animation?
19:10	Taoki	totally. Am going to ask RBA something when he's back, but till then I have a greater problem
19:12	PilzAdam	Maybe i can help a bit
19:13	Taoki	Main problem is that I need to store a value specific to my lua script for each player on the server, to know what animation they're set to at that moment
19:13	Taoki	But I read players in a for loop that executes in on_step
19:13	PilzAdam	you cant store variables in the player objects
19:13	Taoki	So basically, as I do for(obj in connected_clients bla bla bla) I need to have a value called something in my script and read / write to / from obj.something in various functions
19:13	PilzAdam	but you can create a table wich does that
19:14	Taoki	hmm
19:14	PilzAdam	at the top of the script: local player_anim = {}
19:14	PilzAdam	then store initial content in register_on_joinplayer: player_anim.player:get_player_name() = [content]
19:15	PilzAdam	and read/write it in on_step with player_anim.player:get_player_name()
19:15	Taoki	interesting... I will try that out
19:15	PilzAdam	all data will be lost when shutting down, but i guess thats not a big problem
19:16	PilzAdam	(unless you want animation to continue on next startup)
19:16	Taoki	Not important at all here
19:16	Taoki	no
19:16	Taoki	Thanks, will try this out then
19:17	PilzAdam	better use player_anim[player:get_player_name()]
19:17	PilzAdam	dunno if the other way works
19:17	PilzAdam	but with the [] it works
19:17	Taoki	For both reading and writing?
19:17	PilzAdam	yep
19:17	PilzAdam	you index the table with the player name
19:17	Taoki	Also, in that player_admin table I'll need to have multiple options to read and write
19:18	PilzAdam	you basically have an array that has the player name as index
19:19	PilzAdam	what do you mean with " multiple options to read and write"?
19:19	Taoki	ok. So both to read and write, I'd use player_anim[player_name] == or = something
19:19	Taoki	Well for example, I might need something like player_anim[player_name].anim_standing == true
19:20	PilzAdam	yes, thats possbile
19:20	Taoki	Though I could use an integer to "name" each animation... that would be shorter cleaner and better
19:20	PilzAdam	just create a sub table
19:20	Taoki	Nah, actually no. If possible I'll use the player_anim field as an integer
19:21	PilzAdam	I just say that its possible
19:21	Taoki	yeah. That's good to know for the future
19:21	PilzAdam	varaibles in Lua can store everything, even functions
19:23	PilzAdam	btw: the bug that attachments of other players are incorrect when joining a server still exists
19:24	Taoki	Might be a problem with client objects not having the same ID as their server variants
