I need help with a table?

Asked Jun 12, 2014437 views2 answers

I'm making a spawning script that uses a table but I don't know how to use a table other then typing in the what the table will have in it like

local NPC = {"NPC1", "NPC2"}

that's all I know how to do with a table but I want to select a citizen from the table in this script


--1337Zombiegamer--
local SpawnPool = {"Citizen", "Citizen1", "Citizen2", "Citizen3"}
local NPC = game.Lighting.Citizen

while true do
local NPCCopy = NPC:Clone()
NPCCopy.Parent = Workspace
wait(30)
end

using math.random to spawn it in to the world from the lighting

Citizen = --Directory here
Citizen 1 = --Directory here
--and over until u got all of them
Citizens = {Citizen, Citezen 1, etc, etc}

while wait() do
	RCitizen = Citizens[math.random(1, #Citizens)] --1 is how many are picked
	CRCitizen = RCitizen:clone()
	CRCitizen.Parent = game.Workspace
	wait(30)
end

What do you mean by directory here? like the {"Citizen", "Citizen1", "Citizen2"} part?

I'm kinda confused considering how you wrote the script..

Directory I mean is... Citizen = game.Lighting.blablabla u get the point?

Okay I edited the script there we're a few things misspelled but now in the output i get a error and nothing spawns in -- 12:59:55.648 - Workspace.CitizenSpawn:7: attempt to call method 'Clone' (a nil value)

You see here

local NPC = {"NPC1", "NPC2"}

In order to fetch these you have to do "Where it's located"[1] or [2]. The way that tables work is in order so for example

local Bricks = {"Brick1", "Brick2"}

Workspace.Bricks[1]:Clone().Parent = Workspace.Model -- Clones Brick1
Workspace.Bricks[2]:Clone().Parent = Workspace.Model -- Clones Brick2
