Why does this table not print the names?
local ItemInformation = {
Rock = {'Tool'},
WoodSword = {'Weapon'},
WaterBottle = {'Food'},
IronSword = {'Weapon'},
Spear = {'Weapon'},
IronAxe = {'Tool'},
StoneAxe = {'Tool'},
Bow = {'Weapon'},
Stone = {'Basic'}
}
for _,i in ipairs(ItemInformation) do
print(i)
end
No error, no printing. It's really pissing me off..

Change the iterator function to pairs. iPairs is for iterating tables with numerical indices whereas your table has string indices. RayCurse 1518 — 6y

You're creating a table with one value when you use {}. When you print tables, it prints some sort of ID, not the values. Change {} to () or just remove them to be able to print the value. PreciseLogic 271 — 6y

fun fact: ipairs() stops when a first nil value is reached. (technically a dictionary has infinite nil values in no particular order). simply use pairs()
local ItemInformation = {
Rock = {'Tool'},
WoodSword = {'Weapon'},
WaterBottle = {'Food'},
IronSword = {'Weapon'},
Spear = {'Weapon'},
IronAxe = {'Tool'},
StoneAxe = {'Tool'},
Bow = {'Weapon'},
Stone = {'Basic'}
}
for k,v in pairs(ItemInformation) do
print(v[1]) --you used tables as your values so you will have to index them. If you don't need t tables, remove all of the `{}` above and remove the `[1]`
end

Thank you Creeper! this was the answer I was looking for. Even though I figured it out the day after I posted. Mr_Scrlpt 52 — 5y
