Tables help please?
I'm new to this Tables thing, the one that goes like this ["Random", 20, true]. I just need help on one little thing.
I have the following table:
1 | a = [109412, 1210542, 24541] |
I want to randomly pick one number and set the script's Parent's name to that number. Would it be something like this:
1 | ab = script.Parent |
2 | ab.Name = ""..#a |
Thanks for your help!

Tables in Lua are created using curly braces. Square braces are used to access table members.
1 | a = {109412, 1210542, 24541} |
2 | script.Parent.Name = a[math.random(#a)] |
