I've been making loot drops and I received the following error: Wrong number of arguments to 'insert'
ServerScript:
function getItem(ID)
local items = game:GetService("ServerStorage").Items:GetDescendants()
for i, v in pairs(items) do
if v:FindFirstChild("ItemID") then
if v.ItemID.Value == ID then
return v
end
end
end
end
function dropItems(mob)
local loot = {}
for i, v in pairs(mob.MobConfig.ItemsDropped:GetChildren()) do
local probability = math.random(1, 100)
if v.Value >= probability then
table.insert(loot, getItem(v.Name)) --Error occurs here
end
end
return loot
end
Is there something trivial that I messed up on? Does table.insert need an index? Any help would be appreciated.

I believe the issue is that the getItem function is returning a nil value. This errors most likely happens because you've put in a function inside the second argument to get the "item". Try making a variable with the function, and for the second argument in line 17 use that variable.
Yup. There was an error with the getItem function because I was comparing an integer with a string, returning nil. So, maybe the game thought that I was inserting an object at index nil. I fixed it by using tonumber(ID).
Glad I could help!
