Reference another index inside the same table
Okay, this is just an example of what I intend to use this for. I plan on using something like this to edit GUIs when the mouse enters, leaves or clicks it. For now I'm just testing it out so... I want data[Workspace.BasePlate].Properties to equal data[Workspace.Part].Properties. How can I reference it from inside the table without typing it twice?
01 | local data = { |
02 | [Workspace.Part] = { |
03 | Properties = { |
04 | ["BrickColor"] = "Lime green", |
05 | ["Material"] = "DiamondPlate" |
06 | } |
07 | }, |
08 | [Workspace.BasePlate] = { |
09 | Properties = {} -- I want the properties here to be the same as Part's |
10 | }, |
11 | } |

You can't do this on the initial "set" operation. However, you can do it like this:
01 | local data = { |
02 | [Workspace.Part] = { |
03 | Properties = { |
04 | ["BrickColor"] = "Lime green", |
05 | ["Material"] = "DiamondPlate" |
06 | } |
07 | }, |
08 | } |
09 |
10 | data[Workspace.BasePlate] = { |
11 | Properties = data[Workspace.Part].Properties |
12 | }, |

Just a note; if you try to do it in the first "set" operation, it won't work: at that point the index is still nil and the script will error! jobro13 980 — 11y
