Fill a table

[laukond]

I'm trying to fill an empty table to hide my macro names on my bars.
When it's like this is works, but if I remove the "--" from those four lines it does not work.
How do I get it to work on all my bars?

local actionButtonHotkey = {}
for i=1,12 do
actionButtonHotkey[i] = _G[format("ActionButton%dName",i)]
--actionButtonHotkey[i] = _G[format("MultiBarBottomLeftButton%dName",i)]
--actionButtonHotkey[i] = _G[format("MultiBarBottomRightButton%dName",i)]
--actionButtonHotkey[i] = _G[format("MultiBarRightButton%dName",i)]
--actionButtonHotkey[i] = _G[format("MultiBarLeftButton%dName",i)]]
end
 
for k,v in pairs(actionButtonHotkey) do
    v:SetAlpha(0);
end

Have a good day.

Don't have access to the source atm, but I don't think the extra buttons have different button templates.

There's 12 buttons in each for a total of 120 buttons(?)

So basically you would need your loop to go 1-120 instead of 1-12.

they are 1-12 as well.

Ah sorry, the problem was so obvious it sailed over my head

You're overwriting your keys with subsequent lines.
This should work

local actionButtonHotkey = {}
for i=1,12 do
actionButtonHotkey[i] = _G[format("ActionButton%dName",i)]
actionButtonHotkey[i+12] = _G[format("MultiBarBottomLeftButton%dName",i)]
actionButtonHotkey[i+24] = _G[format("MultiBarBottomRightButton%dName",i)]
actionButtonHotkey[i+36] = _G[format("MultiBarRightButton%dName",i)]
actionButtonHotkey[i+48] = _G[format("MultiBarLeftButton%dName",i)]]
end
 
for k,v in pairs(actionButtonHotkey) do
    v:SetAlpha(0);
end
