Presto Understanding

I might be grasping at straws but from what I understand that first function tracks your FMs from an arguments to a number.

So:

[Code]local fm_count = 0[/CODE]

Our local variable called fm_count is with a value of 0 without any modification.

[CODE]  for i, v in pairs(buffactive) do
        ---
        ---
        ---
    end[/CODE]

This is setting up the argument that an iterator pairs a value to the variable which is the buffactive table.

[CODE]  if tostring(i):startswith('finishing move') or tostring(i):startswith('フィニシングムーブ') then
            fm_count = tonumber(string.match(i, '%d+')) or 1
        end[/CODE]

The function is to then convert the iterator into a string. It looks for a buffactive named finishing move. Followed by fm_count being amended! tonumber converts the following string that matches the iterator and  '%d+' (but I have no clue what that means) or 1

[CODE] if spell.type == 'Step' and fm_count < 6 then
        ---
        ---
        ---
    end[/CODE]

And like you said, if the action is a step and the amended fm_count is less than 6 then the following code is executed.


Is that what I am understanding how this whole thing works? I normally use https://www.lua.org/manual/5.0/manual.html#format to help understand some of the functions you have used. :>
