OpenPeripheral Jabba Barrel mod Help with tabels.

So im back after a long time away from computercraft



I am playing a survival map i have wanted to create for a long time


the thing is i want to make to put onto screen what marterials i have in my storage in my secreet evil lair section.

Spoiler

local barrel = {

peripheral.wrap("mcp_mobius_betterbarrel_0")
peripheral.wrap("mcp_mobius_betterbarrel_1")
peripheral.wrap("mcp_mobius_betterbarrel_2")
peripheral.wrap("mcp_mobius_betterbarrel_3")
peripheral.wrap("mcp_mobius_betterbarrel_4")
peripheral.wrap("mcp_mobius_betterbarrel_5")
peripheral.wrap("mcp_mobius_betterbarrel_6") }

–this one was the first and it displayed correctly in this code.
– barrel.wrap("mcp_mobius:betterbarrel_0")

local function write( … )
for _,mon in pairs( monitors ) do
mon.write( … )
end
end



mon = peripheral.wrap("monitor_9")


tbl = barrel.getStoredItems()
name= tbl.display_name
qty = tbl.qty




– while true do
mon.clear()
mon.setCursorPos(1,1)
mon.write(name)
mon.setCursorPos(12,1)
mon.write(qty)
– end

what i want to do is foloving.



while true do
mon.clear()
mon.setCursorPos(1,1)
mon.write(name)
mon.setCursorPos(12,1)
mon.write(qty)
end

and this should continue but on a new line and foreward like being


while true do
mon.clear()
mon.setCursorPos(1,2) + 1 for each barrel added to the table. etc
mon.write(name)
mon.setCursorPos(12,2) + 1 for each barrel added to the table. etc
mon.write(qty)



Hope someone can help me with this as this can help mee understand the table thingy better.


Petz

What you want is a for loop.

This would do what you want, but only for the name:

mon.clear() --# surely you don't want to clear after each line is written!
for i = 1, #tbl do
  mon.setCursorPos( 1, 1 + i ) --#add i (which increments by one each loop) to the y value
  mon.write( tbl[ i ].display_name ) --#write the name of the current item to the monitor
end

..I'll leave it up to you to implement qty :)/>

and once again you have saved the day.. if i dont rememer wrong you helped mee when startet with this projekt.



if i wanted to put the barrels in a specifik order. should i then when putting them into the table do it in a specifik order or is that not possible ?


BTW you are awesome

Yes, the order of entries in the table will affect how they are shown.

I do have quite a few posts, so it is very possible I've helped you before.
