How would I get the name of a table object?

Asked Jul 26, 2018297 views1 answers

Say I have this script...

local Passes = {["DjDoor"] = 4846905
			}

How would I be able to to get the name "DjDoor" if I had the ID 4846905? Would I have to make ["DjDoor"] an array and add another string like this...?

local Passes = {["DjDoor"] = {4846905, "DjDoor"}
			}

Or is there another way to obtain it?

✓ Accepted answer

Just use a key-value for loop:


for key, value in pairs(Passes) do
	if value == 4846905 then
		print(key, value) -- You can access both
	end
end

Thanks, for some reason I thought that would have returned the index number.
