Is there a way to check if a value is inside a table?
In a simpler form: I am creating a script that contains true/false questions I have a table that contains questions, and two other tables. Those two other tables are named trueq1 and falseq1; and they contain values of questions that correspond to the table name. I need someone that can either link me to a wiki page or explain to me if there is a function that can check for values inside of tables. (i.e check if this value is under the trueq1 table or the falseq1 table)
In script form:
rqs1 = {"q1","q2","q3"}
trueq1 = {rqs1[1], rqs1[3]}
falseq1 = {rqs1[2]}
function isThisInTrue()
--check if this value is listed in the trueq1 table
end

tab = {"hello", {"1"}}
tablecheck = function(newTable, item)
foundValue = false
for _, val in next, newTable do
if val == item then
foundValue = true
print("success")
break
elseif type(val) == "table" then
tablecheck(val, item)
end
end
return foundValue
end
val = tablecheck(tab, "1")
Output: success
.. Just call tablecheck twice for the different tables (and with different variables). And then move from there.
