GetUserCount

[Ivosch]

local uziv=frmHub:GetUserCount()

What?s wrong?
[20:12] Syntax lawmaker/components/linda.lmc:21: attempt to call method `GetUserCount' (a nil value)
I found this function on wiki...

[Psycho_Chihuahua]

as far as i know Lawmaker is not yet Lua 5.1 compatibal.

[Ivosch]

but for example function frmHub:GetCurrentShareAmount() is working  ???

[Psycho_Chihuahua]

Here is an Example how GetUserCount is used:

function GetEnable(enable)
	if enable == nil or enable == "" then
		enable = "not set"
	end
	return enable
end


	"\tThere Are Now:\t"..GetEnable(frmHub:GetUsersCount()).." of "..GetEnable(frmHub:GetMaxUsers()).." max users online.\r\n\r\n"..

Thats how its used in InfoBot created by Mutor and Modded a bit by me

Hope it helps you out a bit as i cant tell you much more (i'm still a script noob myself in some ways hehe)

[Ivosch]

thnx
It?s working 

[Psycho_Chihuahua]

your'e welcome - glad i could help you out

But wouldn't

"\tThere Are Now:\t"..(frmHub:GetUsersCount() or "N/A").." of "..(frmHub:GetMaxUsers() or "N/A").." max users online.\r\n\r\n"..

be more simplified???

[Psycho_Chihuahua]

Sure it would - but in InfoBot the GetEnable Function is used more then once

in specific for:

"\tHub Name: \t"..GetEnable(frmHub:GetHubName())..",  "..Topic.."\r\n"..
	"\tHub description:\t"..GetEnable(frmHub:GetHubDescr()).."\r\n"..
	"\tPeak Users:\t"..GetEnable(frmHub:GetMaxUsersPeak()).."\r\n"..
	"\tThere Are Now:\t"..GetEnable(frmHub:GetUsersCount()).." of "..GetEnable(frmHub:GetMaxUsers()).." max users online.\r\n\r\n"..
	"\tIP Address:\t"..GetEnable(user.sIP).."\r\n"..
	"\tDC Tag:\t\t"..GetEnable(user.sTag).."\r\n"..
	"\tEmail:\t\t"..GetEnable(user.sEmail).."\r\n"..
	"\tConnection:\t"..GetEnable(user.sConnection).."\r\n\r\n"..

which makes that function rather good

[Markitos]

It's also because some hub calls might return nil, -1 or an empty string.
The intent of the original function was to return a boolean response from any call.
ie.. 0/1

I understand.

And will not be until a stabl?e PtokaX version with Lua 5.1 gets released. It is however damn easy to rewrite, that will be called 1.1 probably.
