so i wanna make a load system for customizable houses. to do that i need 2 values the name of the brick and the cframe.
but i dont kopw how to store this in a table like i want a table with the nam bricks and when u use the print commmand like
print(bricks[1])
it will output:
Part, 125,154,456
(i used random numbers for the cframe)
someone knows how to do this ?
If you mean you simply want to insert two values into one table, then you'd use table.insert. That way you can still utilize tabl[numhere].
local tabl = {} table.insert(tabl, 'PartName') table.insert(tabl, CFrame.new(0,0,0)) print(tabl[1], tabl[2])
Otherwise, if you wanted a table for each house, you'd need a different approach. Either you can use a dictionary type of style which is based on a key pair relationship or an array using table.insert.
A dictionary would be a key and a value. The key is the name of the table and the value is the table. Example: ['Azarth'] = {PlaysROBLOX = true, SpeaksRussian = false}
local tabl = {} tabl['house1'] = { -- State the table name. In brackets name the key = the table. partName = 'Part1', position = CFrame.new(0,0,0) } -- You could then access house1 by name print(tabl['house1'].position) -- or for loop for i,v in pairs(tabl) do -- i is the name (key) and v is the table. print(i, v.position) end
You could also insert a table within a table. This benefits you if you want the tables to be in the order (like a player-list) you inserted them as dictionaries are not when you try and return them in a for loop. Also beneficial if you want to nest other tables inside your main entry point.
local mainTable = {} do local entry = {} entry.id = "house1" entry.partName = 'Part1' entry.position = CFrame.new(0,0,0) table.insert(mainTable, entry) end --[[ Visually, the table will then look like this mainTable = { { id = 'house1', partName = 'Part1', position = CFrame.new(0,0,0) } } --]] -- You can then access house1 with a for loop for i = 1, #mainTable do if mainTable[i].id == "house1" then print(mainTable[i].position) end end -- or for i,v in pairs(mainTable) do if v.id == "house1" then print(v.position) end end
