Getting result from a table?
I have a table, and I am wondering how I can get the result form it.
items = {
{chance = 5, item = ChestItems:WaitForChild("Pickaxe")}
}
I know I can simply do items.chance, but how do I get the chance of a specific chosen item, from this:
Item = chooseItem():Clone()
Item.Parent = Player.Backpack
chooseItem() is a function which randomly chooses an item from items using the 'chance' as a percentage on getting it.
So I was wondering how I could use the 'chance' from the clone'd item. So I could do this:
if chance <= 5 then
Any help would be appreciated.

With difficulty
Unless you change how it works
Your current setup means that in order to find the chance for an item, you do in fact have to iterate through the entire table until you find the item. For your setup, this should suffice...
function getChance(i) local inn = i.Name for n=1,#items do local v = items[n]; if inn == v.item.Name then -- Probably not an unfair assumption. We can't check for object equality because they're not equal. return v.chance; end end return 0; end
This isn't the best way, but without further changing of how your system is set up (And I prefer not to mess with other people's understandings of how things relate) this is probably the best you've got.
