Why does this add something into a table (have to say extra to post) for the time element of y?
This here is a function that does something. I have been trying to write out what it does and I couldn’t figure out what line 10 and 15 does. I know that it adds something into a table but how.
CreateConfiguration = (function(Configurations, Table)
--gets the table of the first parameter
print(Table)
for i, v in pairs(Configurations:GetChildren()) do
print(Table)
--finds if the values classname is a value
if string.find(v.ClassName, "Value") then
--if it make its name a clone of its value
print(Table)
Table[v.Name] = v:Clone()
--if it isnt and it is either a folder or configuration class
print(Table)
elseif v:IsA("Folder") or v:IsA("Configuration") then
--then make the values name become
Table[v.Name] = Functions.CreateConfiguration(v, Table)
end
print(Table)
end
return Table
end),
The parameter configurations is a folder containing different value types for a gun.
the Table parameter is just an empty table that gets filled up. I wanna know how it is getting filled up what confuses me is that it goes to the spot in the table getting the current value being cycled throughs name but that line itself adds it to the table.

What is this script from, if you don't know what it does it sounds like a free model script which is stated in the website guidelines to not post for us to fix. Protogen_Dev 268 — 1y

I suppose the question is asking how the table is being filled up, so that’s what I will attempt to answer, correct me if I got the question or even my answer wrong.
Things can be inserted into a table a couple of ways:
--You can set everything in place manually:
local array = {1, true, "yes"}
local dictionary = {
["Test"] = 1,
["Test2"] = true,
["Test3"] = "yes"
}
--You can do table.insert
local array = {}
table.insert(array, "yes")
--printing the table out will show "yes" in it
--Annd you can do this:
local dictionary = {}
dictionary["Test"] = 1
dictionary["Test2"] = true
dictionary["Test3"] = "yes"
--Printing this dictionary will have the same result with printing the first dictionary
