How can I find a variable without using its name directly?

Asked Jan 27, 2018165 views1 answers

So I want to do this

["Dmg"..num]

But Dmg isnt a variable. Theres Dmg1,Dmg2, and Dmg3. I used num to express which damage I want to be used for different attacks but I cant use it the way I showed because Dmg doesnt have a parent. Is there a way to do this?

✓ Accepted answer

You can not 100% do this in lua.

The only way this would be possible is if you use a Table to store your values, and use Keys like local DmgTable = {Dmg1 = 10, Dmg2 = 20, Dmg3 = 30}

Then you'll be able to get them using DmgTable["Dmg"..num] with num being 1,2 or 3 in this example.
