I am trying to add a number from a dictionary, but how do I get an individual number indexed?
Indexing:
Player.Character:WaitForChild('RunningSpeed').Value = 25 + (KillerStats[1])
Dictionary
local KillerStats = { Speed = 1, Damage = 3, Vision = 10 }
You don't index dictionary's with integers (whole numbers) instead you index them with the name you gave the index to be.
Example:
local diction = { ["Index"] = "Some Value"; ["Something"] = "Another value" } for i, v in pairs(diction) do print(i..v) -- outputs "Index" and "Something" along with their values end
So you know the semi colon is the same as using a comma
Lets go back to the example you had. Your index is different then mine but here's how you index what you want from your dictionary.
local KillerStats = { -- I put brackets on your index ["Speed"] = 1, ["Damage"] = 3, ["Vision"] = 10 } print(KillerStats.Speed) -- or print(KillerStats["Speed"]) -- Should output 1 (*2)
Hope this helps!
I haven't done much with dictionaries yet but to my understanding it's just like looking up the word in a dictionary. You don't search it by list because it's not in a numbered list. You would search it by name and then get the definition (Value).
Player.Character:WaitForChild('RunningSpeed').Value = 25 + (KillerStats[Damage])
The problem is that what you assigned isn't doesn't become the original index anymore; using a dictionary you need to specify your custom index for roblox to examine and verify it. For example,
--Dictionary local KillerStats = { ["Speed"] = 1, ["Damage"] = 3, ["Vision"] = 10 }
--Script Player.Character:WaitForChild('RunningSpeed').Value = 25 + (KillerStats["Speed"])
