Can anyone explain why random tables are appearing in this code?
Good morning fellow (much better),scripters! Its going great but i have a problem....
I'm writing a piece of code which is not working at one point! I want to try and make it post a part's name so i can get its parent - but instead it shows a table the output is literally table: 34F44CB8... Can anyone explain this to me?

01 | local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
02 | local desaa = false |
03 |
04 | punchanimation = Instance.new("Animation") |
05 | punchanimation.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/Asset?ID=2497648378" |
06 |
07 |
08 | local ipit = game:GetService("UserInputService") |
09 | local char = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name) |
10 |
11 |
12 | ipit.InputBegan:Connect(function(input) |
13 |
14 | if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E and desaa == false then |
15 | desaa = true |

That table: 34F44CB8... is just the tables memory address. Attempting to directly print a table, function or thread will print the memory address. The good thing is you can loop through that table, and get the parts with ease.
1 | for _, part in next, char.RightHand:GetTouchingParts() do |
2 | -- 'part' will be a different touching part after each cycle. |
3 | print(part) |
4 | end |
What I am doing is looping through the touching parts, part will be a different part for each cycle. It loops for however many parts their are in the table returned by GetTouchingParts, for example if 3 parts were touching the loop would iterate 3 times. I then print the part and from there you can do what is necessary.
