Creating your own iterator.
Now you can use it like
Note: each function works like ipairs but it returns the value first.
Code:

local function iterator(index, table)
index = index + 1
return table[index], index
end
function each(table)
return iterator, 0, table
end
index = index + 1
return table[index], index
end
function each(table)
return iterator, 0, table
end
Now you can use it like
Code:
1

for id in each(player(0, "table")) do
print(id)
end
print(id)
end

Name/Password generator in Lua.

for i = 1,100 do

@ MixTape: A function that loops through tables.
Example of ipairs iterator
It would output:
1 - A
2 - B
3 - C
4 - D

tab = {"A", "B", "C", "D"}
for key, value in ipairs(tab) do
print(key.." - "..value)
end
for key, value in ipairs(tab) do
print(key.." - "..value)

The Gajos: Maybe if DC could integrate LuaJIT well, then MD5 module would be great to us to generate passwords or something like that. But since it was discarded we cannot do it. Btw, may your generetor can be nice for understood things, but as a real password generator it's very bad. Sorry.

@ The Gajos: You can use math.random to generate random number from 65 to 90 and transform it into character with string.char
Replace 65 with 97 and 90 to 122 to generate lowercase character instead

This one might really intrigue you, but some of you might know this.
So what are the 2 values that CS2D console will print?
Maybe you are expecting
well it's not actually. These are the values:
Yes, tables in Lua will send their address. You can modify a table's value within a function, within another file, within another module like ease. What can you do with this feature? Well a lot actually. I can't name you one. You might want to figure it out yourself.

You can register player click events by giving him landmines and returning 1 on buildattempt hook whenever he tries to place one. It only works for left click but it's completely silent unlike knife setups.
Edit:
You can also register click events with mouse locations by equipping the player a portal gun and doing some packet inspection on server side. Whenever player shoots the portal gun it will include the cursor location data. Didn't test satchel/grenades though.
