invalid argument #2 to 'remove' (number expected, got string)?
Code:
local admins = {}
local prefix = "!"
local prefixlen = prefix:len()
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
plr.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
if msg:sub(1, 8 + prefixlen):lower() == prefix .. "unadmin " then
local TS = msg:sub(9 + prefixlen)
table.remove(admins, TS) -- error is here
end
end)
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
local Table1 = {
"Test",
"Dummy",
"Stupid"
}
and you call table.remove(Table1, Test) it wont work, you have to index it.
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!
