How do you access a dictionary?
I have a dictionary:
local Skills = {
["IP"] = 1,
["virus"] = 1,
["firewall"] = 1,
["trace"] = 1,
["network"] = 1,
["remote"] = 1,
["physical"] = 1,
["stealth"] = 1,
["local"] = 1,
["cracker"] = 1,
["level"] = 1
}
but how do I access it?

If you're talking about accessing the information inside the dictionary, then you just index the table using a dot . or square brackets [ ]. I'm not gonna go into crazy detail about it, so I'll just leave you with these examples, as they're pretty easy to pick up:
local Skills = {
["IP"] = 1,
["virus"] = 1,
["firewall"] = 1,
["trace"] = 1,
["network"] = 1,
["remote"] = 1,
["physical"] = 1,
["stealth"] = 1,
["local"] = 1,
["cracker"] = 1,
["level"] = 1
}
print(Skills["IP"]) -- Prints the value Skills.IP represents
print(Skills.IP) -- this works too (because the key follows the same rules variables obide by)
Skills.IP = 5 -- To change the key, simply set it a new value.
If you're confused about any of this, let me know. Sorry this couldn't be one of my long answers, I just didn't have the time.
