| I'm trying to do a variable absorb information with a trigger... it's just like all the time someone send me a TELL MESSAGE, the variable copy the message to itself so i can see it later... the problem is, the variable can absorbe more than 1 message inside itself? i mean, if i receive like 10 TELL MESSAGENS, is there a way to put all the messagens inside the variable? Or i will have to do 10 variables?
Thx for your time xD | | Top |

| Make a table. For example:
messages = messages or {} -- create table if not exist
table.insert (messages, new_message)
That will keep adding to the messages table. Now to get them back later:
for k, v in ipairs (messages) do
print (v) -- print this message
end -- for

Pretty close. In fact to test if the table is empty, do this:
if #messages == 0 then
print ("no msg recorded")
or, for tables which might have non-numeric keys:
if next (messages) == nil then
print ("no msg recorded")
