Returning table values

[Bindie]

Hey, trying to make an alternative map making system.

Code: Select all

function Corridorx1North(a,b,length, t)

		for i = 1, length do

		t[#t+1] = {tile = 9, x = a-map.tilesize, y = b+map.tilesize*length}
		t[#t+1] = {tile = 1, x = a, y = b+map.tilesize*length}
		t[#t+1] = {tile = 11, x = a+map.tilesize, y = b+map.tilesize*length}

		end

		return t

	end

Is there someway to input the sub-table values back into the table t?

Is there someway to input the sub-table values back into the table t?

Umm can you clarify a bit more what do you mean? In your code example you are adding tables into table t. Also the t you pass into the function does get altered.

In other words:

Code: Select all

local function testFunc( t )
	t.x = 200
	return t
end
local temp = {}
local temp2 = testFunc(temp)
print( temp2.x ) -- prints 200
print( temp.x ) -- also prints 200

Although I do not think this is what you are meaning, so I guess giving bit better description of what you want to do would help out a lot.
