Saving Game Wide Total Gold to SavedVariables.

[Drshow]

i am trying to build an array of toons i have on all servers and there money. i studied Titan Panels Server total gold per fraction, was closest to what i am looking for but i am trying to get all fractions all servers to one list.
so far

in toc i added to SavedVariables

## SavedVariables: ServerEarnings,GTgameArray

to exsisting .lua of guildtax i wrote

local GTgameArray = UnitName("player").." :: "..GetMoney("player");
  if (ServerEarnings == nil) then
    ServerEarnings = {};
  else
  local ServerEarnings = {};
    for index, in pairs(GTgameArray) do
      if (not GTgameArray) then 
      GTgameArray={};
    end
    table.insert(GTgameArray, index);
  end
end

hoping someone could lead me the right direction here i seem to be not understanding this method.

i am loading this during OnLoad and have tried loading after.

this is the same mistake I made. The table variables you associate in the toc as saved variables cannot be local variables in the lua file but instead classed as global.

One of the first lines in any of my WTF data file addons is the following:

MySavedVars = MySavedVars or {}

This way it will use whatever has been previously stored or create a new table. Repeat for whatever tables you have within that. Do the same for variables so that you have a set of defaults to use if it cannot find any data values.

Then throughout the code you can use the various values to set and get as appropriate.

So try removing the local part in front of GTgameArray and similarly off of the others.

Also, saved variables aren't loaded until ADDON_LOADED fires with an arg1 of your addon.

[Drshow]

so far no luck

[Drshow]

well i can see this is going to be a feat.

• Im going to create a table with 50 string slots "max number of characters one is allowed to create".
• Each character will be table.insert into the next available number.
• Before insert i will have to filter to see if added, and if added, then only the money will be updated. str.replace i suppose lol.

ill post again when i have something working.

Lua can do string-keyed tables:

--assuming your list of names is "db"

local name = UnitName("player")
db[name] = (db[name] or 0) + x

You might want to do "player name - realm name" also, in case someone has the same name on two servers.

It's really not as difficult as you may perceive.

MyGold.toc

## Interface: 30300
## SavedVariables: MYGVARS
MyGold.lua

MyGold.lua

local realm, char = GetRealmName(), UnitName'player'
local f = CreateFrame'frame'
f:RegisterEvent'PLAYER_LOGIN'
f:RegisterEvent'ADDON_LOADED'
f:RegisterEvent'PLAYER_MONEY'
f:SetScript("OnEvent", function(_, event, addon)
    if event == "ADDON_LOADED" and addon == "MyGold" then
        if not MYGVARS then MYGVARS = {} end
        if not MYGVARS[realm] then MYGVARS[realm] = {} end
    elseif event ~= "ADDON_LOADED" then
        MYGVARS[realm][char] = GetMoney()
    end
end)

That's the gist of it, make sure your saved vars table name is unique because it's global.

Result:

MYGVARS = {
     ["Realm"] = {
         ["ToonA"] = 5834933,
         ["ToonB"] = 939282,
     }
}

I have an addon which I made for myself that does this exact thing (also time played and and level statistics). It's quite alpha (needs optimizing), but works perfectly.

im trying yours now and oh my god, so much simpler that what i was trying to do.

OK so far so good one last request. I was like to add all the values of ["Money"], "per character", together to make ["ALLmoney"]

SavedVariable in .lua

GTgameArray = {
 ["Dragonblight"] = {
  ["Alliance"] = {
   ["Drshamy"] = {
    ["Money"] = "325265963",
    ["Assets"] = "19081105",
    ["Copper"] = "63|TInterface\\MoneyFrame\\UI-CopperIcon:0:0:2:0|t",
    ["Copper1"] = "63",
    ["Silver1"] = "59",
    ["Gold1"] = "32526",
    ["Gold"] = "32526|TInterface\\MoneyFrame\\UI-GoldIcon:0:0:2:0|t",
    ["Silver"] = "59|TInterface\\MoneyFrame\\UI-SilverIcon:0:0:2:0|t",
   },
   ["Foxyknight"] = {
    ["Silver1"] = "10",
    ["Assets"] = "273321",
    ["Silver"] = "10|TInterface\\MoneyFrame\\UI-SilverIcon:0:0:2:0|t",
    ["Copper1"] = "20",
    ["Money"] = "384991020",
    ["Gold1"] = "38499",
    ["Gold"] = "38499|TInterface\\MoneyFrame\\UI-GoldIcon:0:0:2:0|t",
    ["Copper"] = "20|TInterface\\MoneyFrame\\UI-CopperIcon:0:0:2:0|t",
   },
   ["Drshadows"] = {
    ["Silver"] = "5|TInterface\\MoneyFrame\\UI-SilverIcon:0:0:2:0|t",
    ["Assets"] = "10466841",
    ["Copper"] = "12|TInterface\\MoneyFrame\\UI-CopperIcon:0:0:2:0|t",
    ["Copper1"] = "12",
    ["Money"] = "955110512",
    ["Gold"] = "95511|TInterface\\MoneyFrame\\UI-GoldIcon:0:0:2:0|t",
    ["Gold1"] = "95511",
    ["Silver1"] = "5",
   },
  },
 },
}

Well, I'm a bit confused why you store your integer values as strings, and even more confused why store the gsc both separately and as strings with icon references - this could be done on the code side, when it needs to render the data for display. BUT regardless, it's what ya chose to do. Not knocking it, just really baffled is all. To each their own.

-- inside PLAYER_MONEY handler, after updating your table with current character's money.
local total_money = 0
for key, realm in pairs(GTgameArray) do
    -- Because ALLgold will be at same table level as realm names with your current table layout.
    if key ~= "ALLgold" then
        for _, faction in pairs(realm) do
            for _, character in pairs(faction) do
                -- Because you have strings instead of integers, convert to numer here.
                total_money = total_money + tonumber(character["Money"])
            end
        end
    end
end
GTgameArray["ALLgold"] = total_money

Something like this, I imagine you are trying to do?

[Drshow]

Its not pretty by any means, i ran into 2 problems.
1 having to removing text string formating. In doing so i created another problem i over looked for a short time. Some times the text strings only have one digit EG. 2 gold 2 silver 2 copper.

i removed the formating and got
222 when reading format i got 2 silver 22 copper lol.

so as you commented earlier, is why i did the way i did. i had to first cache string, filter for each denomination. do alil math to get
20202 or 2 gold 2 silver 2 copper. I know there has to be a more effictient way to do this, i just didnt see it

function GTpars*********()
  if (gameArrayGold == nil) then
  gameArrayGold = {};

n ty for snippet by the way work perfect. and its scalable.

This is a sample of the string i had to filter or match for each. In browsing do you see a better way todo. "and as per Character Icons ? im going to have to say oops lol, i really didnt know. It was the first naming scheme off the top of my head.

95511|TInterface\\MoneyFrame\\UI-GoldIcon:0:0:2:0|t 5|TInterface\\MoneyFrame\\UI-SilverIcon:0:0:2:0|t 12|TInterface\\MoneyFrame\\UI-CopperIcon:0:0:2:0|t

Or did you mean why am i caching them to savedvar? if so i was pulling all local but i seemed to having intermitten nil errors, like creating a new character ect. I had asked in forums if there was a way to avoid n most replys where to cache it n filter n pull n set from cache not local. Would this be wrong ?
