Using a Table to Chart Course

Okay, so I have a plan, just wanna run it by you guys to see if I'm on the right track.

My SWR Mud implemented a new Hyperspace Route system where you have to chart a route from system to system to get across the galaxy.

Let's say I want to go from the Corellian System to the Kashyyyk system, when I'm in the Corellian System I then type

Then, after one minute, I receive



So, I want to take that list, and put it into a Lua Table.

Then I initiate a trigger, just one, but it iterates through the table, as I go through the systems.


Something like this, (I haven't looked up the syntax for Lua tables, yet, so I know this probably isn't correct, I'm thinking of them like arrays for C++, which may be my error) where is set at the initiation of the entire process.

In my experience there's no such thing as a right track. Infinite code paths lead to the same result.

Your question isn't really answerable. Certainly you can subscript tables in Lua similarly to C (note that subscripts usually start at one, not zero).

As for the rest, try some code and see what happens.
