[1.1.32]Metatable doesn't work in multiplayer.

[yagaodirac]

It seems that metatable feature doesn't function in multiplayer.

Code: Select all

global = global or {}
global.mt = global.mt or {}
global.mt.array_simple = {}
global.mt.array_simple.__newindex = function()end
global.mt.array_simple.__index = global.mt.array_simple
function global.mt.array_simple:add(element)
	self.length = self.length +1
	rawset(self, self.length, element)
end

global.new = global.new or {}
global.new.array_simple = function()
	local self = {}
	self.length = 0
	setmetatable(self, global.mt.array_simple)
	return self
end

Then, inside the control.lua

Code: Select all

script.on_event(defines.events.on_tick, function(event)
	if not flag
	then 
		flag = true
		local cont = global.new.array_simple()
		cont:add({})--this line causes error in multiplayer. Error is like, add is nil.
	end
end)

This works properly in single player. But when it runs on a server, the add function is always nil.

Meta tables are not saved and loaded, you need to reset them using the on_load event, example mod:
