invalid argument #2 to 'remove' (number expected, got string)?
Code:
01 | local admins = {} |
02 | local prefix = "!" |
03 | local prefixlen = prefix:len() |
04 |
05 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) |
06 | plr.Chatted:Connect(function(msg) |
07 | if msg:sub(1, 8 + prefixlen):lower() == prefix .. "unadmin " then |
08 | local TS = msg:sub(9 + prefixlen) |
09 | table.remove(admins, TS) -- error is here |
10 | end |
11 | end) |
12 | end) |
Anyone know why I'm getting the error invalid argument #2 to 'remove' (number expected, got string)? All help is appreciated!

When you remove something in a using a remove, it has to be a number, you can't remove a string. TS is a string because it is a msg. table's and their keywords must have args passed as you know. say we have a table
1 | local Table1 = { |
2 | "Test", |
3 | "Dummy", |
4 | "Stupid" |
5 | } |
and you call table.remove(Table1, Test) it wont work, you have to index it.
1 | table.remove(Table1, [1]) --this removes "Test" in the table, 1 is the index in this and Test == 1 Dummy == 2 and Stupid == 3, this will work! |
