This small function allows you to quickly update multiple types of data by passing a linked table through the function.

== Instructions ==
1. Add the [[#Main_Script|main script]] to the Visionaire Studio Script Editor & set the script as a definition script.<br/>
2. Usage example: update all visobj listed in the linked table.
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
local tbl = {

{name = "condition_1", val = true, typ = "bool"},
{name = "condition_2", val = false, typ = "bool"},
{name = "value_1", val = 10, typ = "int"},
{name = "value_1", val = "hello world", typ = "str"}

}

updateData(tbl) -- pass the tbl data through the function
</syntaxhighlight>

== Main Script ==
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
function updateData(t)
for i = 1, #t do -- iterate through table stored in the t input variable
if t[i].typ == "bool" then -- check if condition
Conditions[ t[i].name ].Value = t[i].val -- update condition
elseif t[i].typ == "int" then -- check if value (number)
Values[ t[i].name ].Int = t[i].val -- update value
elseif t[i].typ == "str" then -- check if value (string)
Values[ t[i].name ].String = t[i].val -- update value
end
end
end
</syntaxhighlight>
