So, I have two tables "trks" and "fabs". "trk" and "fab" are two possible values of a variable I have. If the variable is "trk" I want it to pull from the table "trks", and if it's "fab" I want it to pull from the table "fabs". I tried this, but it was invalid syntax, so I decided to ask y'all.
if hairColChosen > #[hairs[hairChosen] .. "s"] then
--do the stuff
end
You don't want to do that -- it would get really confusing (what if it was "game"? what if it was a parameter to your function? etc. it get's messy, and slow)
Instead, you should be pulling from a table.
local choices = {
trks = "hello",
fabs = "goodbye",
}
local choice = "trks"
print(choices[choice]) --> hello

could i have "hello" and "goodbye" set to another table?
I wish there was a super syntax, that would be pretty useful
Yes, of course you can put whatever you want inside of the
choicestable. This is just a simple example.
