[cleared] Strange table-behavior

[camo]

Hi thar!

I'm currently modifying my researchscript. It all worked fine so far, but
function gadget:UnitCreated(unitID, unitDefID, teamID)
needed a small change.

In there I'm accessing a table, but it returns nil as the data. Amusingly it works perfectly fine in all the other functions and returns the right data.

Is it some dumb typo or once again a nonobvious behavior of lua?

->

hastech[teamID]

versus

hastech[teamID][i[1]]

Wow, 1 point for Captain Obvious, 10 for you

Hey, I don't want to bust your bubble and I sure as hell don't want to discourage you, but I just wanted to make you aware of this: http://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.ph ... hilit=tech

So that you don't end up accidentally reinventing the wheel. But like i said, I sure as hell don't want to discourage you or anything like that. Just more of an FYI that this already exists in some shape or form (But it may be totally irrelevant because what you're working on might be completely different).

I know, have been browsing the forums for quite a long time. They don't exactly fit my need. A combination of simple_tech and Multi_tech is close, but still no hit. In the end it might be a mix of these both and own stuff. When it's all done I'll publish it, so you see

Keep on busting btw, a concept can't exist of bubbles alone
