Developer's Corner Scene Scripting

Hi,
i have a variable that i want to convert, exemple
3 to 1 2 3
4 to 1 2 3 4
6 to 1 2 3 4 5.
the thing is that i receive information about how many child to create, and i want a variable that keep the id in this type: 1 2 3 4 5 6.

thanks

I typed this into an interactive Lua shell, so remove the “>” prompts in real code.

[code]> n = 6

a = {}
for i = 1, n do
table.insert(a,i)
end
s = table.concat(a, " ")
print(s)
1 2 3 4 5 6[/code]

The strategy is to build up an array in the variable a, and then stringify it with table.concat().

Thanks that work like a charm, thanks again.

Why not just keep MAX ID ?
MAXID = 6
The 1-5 are inferred.
Who will look at this ?
