How to edit select values in a search?

[uraveragedude]

So, I'm a newbie to LUA scripting for GameGuardian, and I was just creating a simple Magic Bullets script so I didn't have to manually search the values. The thing is, with the values that i have to edit, I need to edit all of them except for just one. I was wondering how to do that, and yes, I have already tried gg.targetResultsNumbers. Please help!

Load all to table. Unset one (set to nil). Set new values via setValues.

Could you give an example? Sorry, I do not currently know all of the API as I have just started on GameGuardian LUA scripts.

Here is my code:

gg.searchNumber('2', gg.TYPE_FLOAT)

gg.getResults(22)

print('Replaced: ', gg.editAll('-2', gg.TYPE_FLOAT))

gg.toast(Magic Bullets activated!)

You need to know how to find the result that you want to be excluded from editing. Most likely, it's position in result list won't be consistent.

Here is an example of implementing the algorithm described by Enyby:

gg.searchNumber('2', gg.TYPE_FLOAT)
local results = gg.getResults(22)
local excludedResultNumber = 4
if results[excludedResultNumber] ~= nil then
  results[excludedResultNumber] = nil
end
for k, v in pairs(results) do
  v.value = '-2'
end
print('setValues: ', gg.setValues(results))

You will need to adapt it according to your requirements.

Another example that may be easier to understand (since it uses "editAll" function, which is used very often by novice script-writers):

gg.searchNumber('2', gg.TYPE_FLOAT)
local results = gg.getResults(22)
local excludedResultNumber = 4
if results[excludedResultNumber] ~= nil then
  gg.removeResults({results[excludedResultNumber]})
end
print('editAll:', gg.editAll('-2', gg.TYPE_FLOAT))

This approach consists of 2 main steps:

1. The result that should not be changed is removed from the list of results.
2. "editAll" function is applied to edit all results that remained in the list.

After adding the changes you suggested CmP, I get this error:

I was confused, as after I changed the code, this popped up when it didn't happen before. Was it a problem with my noselect? Here is what I had down:

if menu == nil then print('error') end

goto noselect

Sorry to be a bother!

You can not jump into function or outside it. All jumps must be inside one scope. Any function create new scope.

I'm sorry, I'm afraid I do not understand what you mean.

This is a restrictive form of goto in that

 

• A label is visible in the entire block where it is defined (including nested blocks, but not nested functions).
• A goto may jump to any visible label as long as it does not enter into the scope of a local variable. [1]

I would suggest not using "goto" at all, but it's up to you.

One thing you can try is "converting" all parts of the code that starts with labels to functions and replacing all goto usages with the calls to corresponding functions.
Another option is to change all local variables to global (so that goto jumps won't enter local variables scope), but this is awful solution that is considered to be bad practice.

How would I do such a thing? Thanks again.

Nevermind, I got my issues all sorted out! Deleted all my goto statements, and replaced the editAll version with the more advanced version. Works perfectly, thanks for the help!
