Hello, I am currently having trouble on inserting a value. Every time I do it, it gives me an error. If you know anything about this error or what it means and how I can possibly fix it, please let me know. Thanks! (And also, if you need any more information, I'd be glad to get you what you need.)

First of all, variables are lexical(I think that's what you call it). This means that the variable's type is from its value.Thus, making it so you don't need to type in i.e local int myVar = 5 (You also don't have to type in constant,static etc.). You don't need to make a new dictionary as a number. You can do tbl[index]. Third of all, you should be using elseif instead of else if to decr
I am extremely confused. I don't know how that is suppose to help the issue I'm having.
The variables part say what is incorrect about the code. Since you have a space in your variable name, it makes that variable nil.
That isn't a space, "alreadyused" is the variable name. table is the variable type. I don't know if that has to do anything with the error though.
I would like to chat with you in the scripting helpers chat and help you :)
How do I get there? I am kind of a new guy to scripting helpers.
@ZenerFox, I said that you don't need to specify the type of the variable in Lua. What is actually happening is that it will get the variable's value, and from that, it will say its type
@ZenerFox see a bar saying, "Community Chat"?
