How can I use table.insert when I don't know the index number?
I want to create something inside of a table when a function is triggered, I also don't know it's index number. How can I get Roblox to print the newly added thing in the table?
1 | local Players = game.Players |
2 |
3 | PlayerList = {} |
4 |
5 | Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) |
6 | table.insert(PlayerList,1,player.name) |
7 | end) |
8 |
9 | print(PlayerList[1]) --- I don't know the index number. |
I mainly want to know how to print the index number, any other mistake is most likely a typo (If not please point it out).

If you want the last value in your Table you can do print(PlayerList[#PlayerList]) Is that what you wanted? Spjureeedd 385 — 4y

And as for you Players variable, I would suggest you do game:GetService("Players") instead of just game.Players Spjureeedd 385 — 4y

1 | local Players = game:GetService("Players") |
2 |
3 | PlayerList = {} |
4 |
5 | Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) |
6 | PlayerList[#PlayerList + 1] = player.Name -- Replacing the Table Indexs Total plus 1 to the player.Name, in that way, table with 0 index plus 1 will be 1, and it replaces the 1st table position to the player.Name. |
7 | print(PlayerList[#PlayerList .." joined the game."]) -- Get the total index in PlayerList, if there is 1 index, it prints the first index. |
8 | end) |
