I'm making a game that plays a camera animation when the player joins. I got tired of manually printing the CFrame's and formatting my table so I wrote a little tool to print the table with all the positions pre-formatted in table style with the click of a button.
This code should simply print -
local CameraPositions = {
CFrame,
CFrame,
CFrame
}
Instead it prints -
local CameraPosition = {
}
I've never really done string manipulation like this so the problem may be obvious but I'm not seeing it.
local CFrames = {}
local CoreGui = game:GetService("CoreGui")
local ScreenGui = Instance.new("ScreenGui", CoreGui)
local Frame = Instance.new("Frame", ScreenGui)
Frame.Size = UDim2.new(0.2, 0, 0.3, 0)
Frame.Position = UDim2.new(0.79, 0, 0.2, 0)
Frame.Style = Enum.FrameStyle.RobloxRound
local Button = Instance.new("TextButton", Frame)
Button.Size = UDim2.new(1, 0, 0.2, 0)
Button.Style = Enum.ButtonStyle.RobloxRoundDefaultButton
Button.Position = UDim2.new(0, 0, 0.79, 0)
Button.Text = "Add Position"
local Finish = Instance.new("TextButton", Frame)
Finish.Size = UDim2.new(1, 0, 0.2, 0)
Finish.Style = Enum.ButtonStyle.RobloxRoundDefaultButton
Finish.Position = UDim2.new(0, 0, 0.59, 0)
Finish.Text = "Done"
local Close = Instance.new("TextButton", Frame)
Close.Size = UDim2.new(0.2, 0, 0.2, 0)
Close.Style = Enum.ButtonStyle.RobloxRoundDefaultButton
Close.TextScaled = true
Close.Text = "X"
Close.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
ScreenGui:Destroy()
end)
Button.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
table.insert(CFrames, workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame)
print(unpack(CFrames))
end)
function Parse() -- Named parse because I though I would need to create a simple parser to format the string.
local str = ""
for i = 1, #CFrames do
local str = str..tostring(CFrames[i])..",\n"
end
return str
end
Finish.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
local Table = Parse()
print("local CameraPositions = {\n"..Table.."\n}")
end)

I should add, I did make sure the table was populated with CFrames as seen in the Button function. The unpacked table prints fine. The formatted table did not.
