I have a function called process

function process(Table,...)
Spring.Echo("Processing")
--local arg = table.pack(...)
T={}
if Table then T=Table else Spring.Echo("Lua:Toolkit:Process: No Table handed over") return end
if not arg then bDbgEcho("No args in process") return end
if type(arg)== "function" then return elementWise(T,arg) end

TempArg={}
TempFunc={}
--if not arg then return Table end

for _, f in pairs(arg) do
if type(f)=="function" then
T=elementWise(T,f,TempArg)
TempArg={}
else
TempArg[#TempArg+1]=f
end
end
return T
end

It takes a table of arguments, and processes those with the following functions and arguments..
Now here is where the trouble starts- this function is running fine within the context of a unitscript call (HitByWeapon)
But not soo much in a thread on its own.
Actually there, it just doesn't receive the arguments and opts out early.
Anybody had a similar experience?
If it works its sweet peace, as in, it allows for processing of units with anonymous functions in lua.
Any help appreciated

Seriously(...)
You can argument all you want, its not taking it.

Seriously though, will investigate further.

PS: Function called is included via include "someName.lua"

Code: Select all

	function process(Table,...)
	Spring.Echo("Processing"..(table.unpack(arg)))

Result - no table.unpack

Also the Spring Table is gone

Code: Select all

function process(Table, ...)
	Spring.Echo("Processing"..(unpack(arg)))

Results in :
[f=0003826] [Lua unit script framework] Error: [string "scripts/lib_UnitScript.lua"]:2233: bad argument #1 to 'unpack' (table expected, got nil)

What do you mean by "in a thread on its own"? What context does it occupy in Spring? Lua always forgets to bring snacks.

solved

Its Lua 5.1 s changed arguments behaviour.

This works

Code: Select all

--> takes a Table, and executes ArgTable/Function,Functions on it
	function process(Table, ...)
	local arg={...}
		--local arg = table.pack(...)
		T={}
		if Table then T=Table else Spring.Echo("Lua:Toolkit:Process: No Table handed over") return end
		if not arg then bDbgEcho("No args in process") return end
		if type(arg)== "function" then return elementWise(T,arg) end
		
		
		TempArg={}
		TempFunc={}
		--if not arg then return Table end
		
		for _, f in pairs(arg) do
			if type(f)=="function" then				
				T=elementWise(T,f,TempArg)				
				TempArg={}			
			else				
				TempArg[#TempArg+1]=f
			end			 
		end
		return T
	end
