Help with toggle value/function

[Etupa]

Hi here, need your help I've messed up with else if or etc make 0 1 as a var... don't get it at all ;_;

I'm trying to make a toggle function with one keybinds, bindings.xml part is ok for me but have no more idea for lua... u_u

Basicaly, I want 0 became 1 or 1 became 0 ... ^^;

local function helm()   
        local control = ZO_OptionsWindow.controlTable[3][8]
        SetSetting(control.system, control.settingId, 0)    
    end
--or
 
    local function nohelm() 
        local control = ZO_OptionsWindow.controlTable[3][8]
        SetSetting(control.system, control.settingId, 1)    
    end

Thanks for your help :c




Edit :
where I am now ... ; ;

function toghelm()
local control = ZO_OptionsWindow.controlTable[3][8]
SetSetting(control.system, control.settingId, (var))
    var = x
        if x == 0 then return nohelm()
        elseif x == 1 then return helm()
    end
 
end
            
    local function helm()   
        local control = ZO_OptionsWindow.controlTable[3][8]
        SetSetting(control.system, control.settingId, 0)    
    end
    local function nohelm() 
        local control = ZO_OptionsWindow.controlTable[3][8]
        SetSetting(control.system, control.settingId, 1)    
    end

tried also something like

function toghelm()
local control = ZO_OptionsWindow.controlTable[3][8]
SetSetting(control.system, control.settingId, (var))
   var = helmvar
      if helmvar == 1 then var = 0
      elseif helmvar == 0 then var = 1
   end
end

Well, those always return 0 (helm is on) ... but can't catch the way to make 0 to 1 et 1 to 0 at function execution ^^;


one more try...

function toghelm()
    local control = ZO_OptionsWindow.controlTable[3][8]
        local helmstate = GetSetting(control.system, control.settingId)
        if helmstate == 1 then return helm()
        elseif helmstate == 0 then return nohelm()  
    end
end
 
            
local function helm()   
    local control = ZO_OptionsWindow.controlTable[3][8]
    SetSetting(control.system, control.settingId, 0)    
end
 
local function nohelm() 
    local control = ZO_OptionsWindow.controlTable[3][8]
    SetSetting(control.system, control.settingId, 1)    
end

really don't get it

Gonna test this, but server are down >.<

function toghelm()                          
local control = ZO_OptionsWindow.controlTable[3][8]
local var = GetSetting(control.system, control.settingId)                                   
        if var == 1 
            then var = 0 
        else 
            var = 1
    end                                     
SetSetting(control.system, control.settingId,(var))
end

The simplest way to toggle a variable between zero and one is as follows:

var = 1 - var

You can do it using xor as well, but I don't believe that's fully implemented in the version of LUA that's embedded within ESO.

So your function could look as follows:

function toghelm()                          
    local control = ZO_OptionsWindow.controlTable[3][8]
    local var = GetSetting(control.system, control.settingId)                                   
    SetSetting(control.system, control.settingId,(1-var))
end

Hope that helps!

Thanks a lot Stromknight !

At least one code would produce an exception:"function expected but got nil" if used the way it is pasted here. So, when you paste code, it is important to paste it correctly and not modify it in between. The order of declarations etc. are important in LUA, unlike Python or JavaScript.


Your first snippet:

function toghelm()
local control = ZO_OptionsWindow.controlTable[3][8]
SetSetting(control.system, control.settingId, (var))
    var = x
        if x == 0 then return nohelm()
        elseif x == 1 then return helm()
    end
 
end

There is no x. If there is no x, it is nil. If x is nil, then the comparisons are "nil == 0" which is false and "nil == 1" which is also false. Neither helm() nor norhelm() gets executed.

I guess there should be x = var instead of var = x.
