Ace3Config - "multiselect" option group type

[suicidalkatt]

Can someone clarify how to properly address the Set and Get values I should be using?

The help section is a bit vague on how they go about addressing things:

multiselect Basically multiple "toggle" elements condensed into a group of checkboxes, or something else that makes sense in the interface. values (table|function) - [key]=value pair table to choose from, key is the value passed to "set", value is the string displayed get (function|methodname) - will be called for every key in values with the key name as last parameter set (function|methodname) - will be called with keyname, state as parameters tristate (boolean) - Make the checkmarks tri-state. Values are cycled through unchecked (false), checked (true), greyed (nil) - in that order.

Here is my option section and the various functions and relations:

-- Values table
 
local cZones = {
    ["none"] = "World",
    ["arena"] = "Arena",
    ["pvp"] = "Battleground",
    ["party"] = "Instance",
    ["raid"] = "Raid"
}
 
-- Get and Set functions
 
local function GetValue(info)
    local db = AAM.db.profile
    if type(info.arg) == "table" then
        return db[info.arg[1]][info.arg[2]]
    else
        return db[info.arg]
    end
end
 
local function SetValue(info,v)
    local db = AAM.db.profile
    if type(info.arg) == "table" then
        db[info.arg[1]][info.arg[2]] = v
    else
        db[info.arg] = v
    end
    AAM:UpdateMarks()
end
 
-- DB 
 
local defaults = {
    profile = {
        enable = true,
        activeLayout = "default",
        zoneType = "ANY",
        customZones = {
            ["none"] = true,
            ["arena"] = false,
            ["pvp"] = false,
            ["party"] = false,
            ["raid"] = false
        }
    }
}
 
-- Option table
Zones = {
    name = "Enabled Zones",
    type = "multiselect",
    disabled = function() if db.zoneType ~= "CUSTOM" or not db.enabled then return false end end,
    values = cZones,
    get = GetValue,
    set = SetValue,
    arg = "customZones",
}

Basically it's dropping a string value into 'db.customZones' instead of indexing into the table and a boolean value.

Should I be using a string to table, table to string?'

EDIT: After trying to find another addon that uses this method (Omen in this case) I found that there is an extra parameter you can call as the 'keyname' that they state on the AceConfig help page I quoted.

get = function(info, k)
set = function(info, k, v)

The first parameter passed to any get/set function in an AceConfig table is always the info table, followed by any input-type-specific parameters, so:

get (function|methodname) - will be called for every key in values with the key name as last parameter set (function|methodname) - will be called with keyname, state as parameters

... means that those functions work as follows:

get = function(info, key) --[[ do stuff ]] end
set = function(info, key, value) --[[ do stuff ]] end

This holds true for any other input types. If the docs say your get/set functions get value and "lolcats", then they get:

get = function(info) --[[ do stuff ]] end
set = function(info, value, "lolcats") --[[ do stuff ]] end

Yea I had posted in my edit that I had found the solution. Thank you for your additional clarifications :3
