I need something like this: Iprint - Multi Theft Auto: Wiki

You probably want json.encode

Hi :wave:t5: @Gaimo

Maybe the code below can help you:

dump = function(table, nb)
	if nb == nil then
		nb = 0
	end

	if type(table) == 'table' then
		local s = ''
		for i = 1, nb + 1, 1 do
			s = s .. "    "
		end

		s = '{\n'
		for k,v in pairs(table) do
			if type(k) ~= 'number' then k = '"'..k..'"' end
			for i = 1, nb, 1 do
				s = s .. "    "
			end
			s = s .. '['..k..'] = ' .. ESX.dump(v, nb + 1) .. ',\n'
		end

		for i = 1, nb, 1 do
			s = s .. "    "
		end

		return s .. '}'
	else
		return tostring(table)
	end
end

local vehicles = {
    name = "police",
    label = "Police",
    siren = true,
    damage = 1000
}
print(vehicles)
print(json.encode(vehicles))
print(dump(vehicles))

local function tprint (tbl, indent)
    if not indent then indent = 0 end
    for k, v in pairs(tbl) do
        formatting = string.rep("  ", indent) .. k .. ": "
        if type(v) == "table" then
            print(formatting)
            tprint(v, indent+1)
        elseif type(v) == 'boolean' then
            print(formatting .. tostring(v))		
        else
            print(formatting .. v)
        end
    end
end

Iā€™m using this one, thanks for the answers!

Or you could just use json.encode(table, {indent = true})
This will format it for you and does not require any dump functions.

But dude, an entire dump function.
