How to initialize multiple local var in for loop?
Basically, I have the same 30 local variables with the incremental numbers in the end. What I want is this end result
for num = 1, 20 do
local Question..num = script.Parent.Question..num..Frame
end
Instead of the messy lines of code like this:
local Question1 = script.Parent.Question1Frame local Question2 = script.Parent.Question2Frame local Question3 = script.Parent.Question3Frame -- So on
How do I go about using a for loop for this situation?

Have you tried tables? Qariter 110 — 3y

I haven't thought of using tables. I'm not entirely sure how I could use them in this case but I'll experiment with it and see what I can come up with! NanotechSci 40 — 3y

I figured out the solution! By using tables as suggested by Qariter and learning how to convert String to Instance, from this link: https://devforum.roblox.com/t/convert-string-to-instance/385716 I've come up with this block of code:
local Question = {}
for index = 1, 20 do
local dir = "Question"..index.."Frame"
local segments = dir:split(".")
local current = script.Parent --location to search
for i,v in pairs(segments) do
current=current[v]
end
table.insert(Question, current)
end
I tested it out and it worked successfully!
