if not foo then
foo,bar,text="foo","bar",""
end
text=foo..bar
end)
this way you dont mess with globals and you retain the info between onupdates
also 60 upvalues is a tonne can you post your code and maybe we can find a better solution all together? |
Because for
some reason (or maybe no reason at all?) WoW's addon parser falls over and dies if there are over 60, and I can't find any way around this.
I need over 60 because I have over 60 variable values that are used. Some of them only vary between nil or 1, but I can't find any practical (not horribly slow) way to do bitwise operations so they need to each have a variable.

As such:
Code:
local var
local foo
local crap
frame:SetScript('OnUpdate', function()
var = "var"
foo = "foo"
crap = "crap"
if dostuff then
dostuff
end
end)
It's what i did when i had performance issues and it helped loads, this is obviously not a working function and you would have to tweak it to your liking.
I'm nowhere near the others in terms of knowledge of LUA though, so this might not be the optimal solution.
EDIT: This also solves the issue where a global foo is not found. |
That's what I tried to do, and wasn't able to, and thus why I made this topic. WoW has a seizure when there are over 60 of those variables.
