Is there an easy way to add one table to another?
I have two tables which I want to create an item for everything in those tables. To make it simple I want to put both the tables into one table. Is there an easier way than doing this:
local tableOne = {1, 2, 3}
local tableTwo = {4, 5, 6}
for i,v in pairs(tableOne) do
table.insert(tableTwo, v)
end
I know this way seems easy but so is the pure Lua implementation of :FindFirstChild() and we still use :FindFirstChild(). Hope you can help. Thanks!

Use table.concat or something Griffi0n 315 — 5y

You can write your own function to do just that. I personally often use a module that I can require in all of my scripts and overwrite the 'table' variable with to extend the native table library with my own functions.
local table = setmetatable({}, {__index = table})
table.combine = function(...)
local arrays = {...}
local newArray = {}
for i = 1, #arrays do
for j = 1, #arrays[i] do
newArray[#newArray + 1] = arrays[i][j]
end
end
return newArray
end

-- If the above was a module, you would overwrite the global table variable:
-- local table = require(tableModule)
local a = {1, 2, 3}
local b = {4, 5, 6}
local c = {7, 8, 9}
print(table.concat(table.combine(a, b, c)))
