How to insert a name and a value into a table?
I have a bunch of boolValues and IntValues I would like to insert into a table to save. The end game is to have something like this,
local new_Save = {
["Points"] = 0,
["last_Save"] = nil,
["daily_Reward"] = nil,
["BaR"] = false,
["Booster"] = false,
["McDonalds"] = false,
["OMG"] = false,
["WhiteandBlack"] = false,
["Winter"] = false
}
How do I start from this
local new_Save = {
}
and using table.insert insert from a group of bool and int values?

You cannot insert a value into a table with a non integer key. This means table.insert(new_Save, "Points", points) is not valid.
One solution is to simply make a function that takes in every key as the parameters and returns the object back.
local function getSaveObject(points, lastsave, dailyreward, bar, booster, mcdonalds, omg, whiteandblack, winter)
local t = {
["Points"] = points
["last_Save"] = lastsave
["daily_Reward"] = dailyreward
-- ... continue
}
return t
end
local new_Save = getSaveObject(0, nil, nil, false, false, -- etc.)
That is one method you could use and I hope it helps.
EDIT:
Explaining how you are receiving the integer and bool values would help me provide a more specific answer :)
