(Help) Data Set Value Reverting to 0

[LM280]

Okay, so this is kind of hard to explain, but basically in my project, Super Mario-Troid, I have 3 data sets that store what items the player has gotten so far. I only want them to keep the item if they reach a save door without dying, so when grabbing the item, it sets the value (default 0) to 1, and then when the door animation plays it sets any 1 values to 2. If the player dies, any 1 values are reset to 0. This works perfectly, except for one item, the Spinjump Boots. The purpose is to regain the spinjump ability you lose at the beginning of the game. They function fine, but unlike every other item in the game, when you save and re enter the level, the value reverts back to 0 and you lose the upgrade. Even more strangely, when I went back and grabbed the item again and saved, I DID keep the item. (I tested this multiple times. You have to get the item, save, and get it again for it to stick.) I've combed through the code over and over but I can't figure out what's wrong. I set the Inventory:get("Spinjump Boots") value to display on the screen and I saw it change to 1 and then to 2 when I entered the door, but upon re entering it was 0 again.

Here's the code from lunaworld.lua:

(Sorry it's so much, I don't know what's essential to find the problem)

TL;DR - All of the variables update correctly and persist throughout levels except Inventory:get("Spinjump Boots") which resets to 0 upon exiting and re entering the level, but setting the value again causes it to stick.

I don't see anything immediately wrong there. The code is very hard to read, though.

I'd suggest to make things more readable, you get the hang of using "else" statements, like:

Code: Select all

if(a) then
  dostuff();
elseif(b) then
  domorestuff();
else
  dodifferentstuff();
end

Also, this part of code can be much neater:

Code: Select all

 
stars = NPC.get(196, -1)
 if(table.getn(stars) > 0) then
        for i=1,table.getn(stars) do
            stars[i]:mem(0xA0, FIELD_DFLOAT, 0)
         stars[i]:mem(0x108, FIELD_DFLOAT, 0)
        end
    end

If you write it like this:

Code: Select all

for k,v in ipairs(NPC.get(196, -1)) do
            v:mem(0xA0, FIELD_DFLOAT, 0)
         v:mem(0x108, FIELD_DFLOAT, 0)
        end

You also don't need to "save" the data table if all you're doing is using "get". You only need to save after you "set" data.

None of these things will fix your issue, but they might make your code easier to read and so easier to locate the problem.

That said, I've looked through your code and I think it's more likely the issue is with your event system, not your Lua, since the variable is set up in exactly the same way as all the others.

Also on the subject of the generic for loop, you can do something along the lines of this, and with a little work this can also be applied to, say, your onEvent and playerDeath functions.
(functions like initialize and playerDeath, where they're only being called from within the file, should be local as well)

Code: Select all

local inventory_items = {"Jump Boots","Spinjump Boots","Varia Cap","Hi-Jump Boots","Space Jump Boots"}
local progress_items = {"Shygon Switcher","Shygon Boss","Mushroom","Koopteria Bricks","Koopteria Key","Fire Flower","Phenpiranha Ice","Koopteria Brick Wall","Super Leaf","Ice Flower","Bob-Bryyo Key","Bob-Bryyo Maze","Mines Key"}
local bonus items = {"Speed Booster","Recover Up","Flamethrower","Costume1","Costume2","Costume3"}

local function initialize()
   for _,v in ipairs(inventory_items) do
      if Inventory:get(v) == nil then
         Inventory:set(v,0)
      end
   end
   Inventory:save()
   for _,v in ipairs(progress_items) do
      if Progress:get(v) == nil then
         Progress:set(v,0)
      end
   end
   Progress:save()
   for _,v in ipairs(bonus_items) do
      if Bonus:get(v) == nil then
         Bonus:set(v,0)
      end
   end
   Bonus:save()
end

Question, I made the functions that are only called within the file local, but I get an error where onStart() tried to call progressCheck(), but I get an error that says it was trying to call global progressCheck() which is nil. How do I specify local when I call it?

Huh. Not what I expected, but assuming what you did is just put a "local" before "function progressCheck()" then I wouldn't know how to get around that. Maybe a quirk, maybe a little slip-up, hard to tell. Not a huge deal if this is for an episode, though, which it is.

[Hoeloe]

If functions are local, they must be defined earlier than they are used, which means you need to move the function definition above where it's first used in the code.

Thank you! That worked at least.
