Hi. I was trying to create a table (named playerlogger) and would insert each player in a game into the table after a certain amount of time. The problem is that with using the method print(playerlogger[end number]) is that I don't know how many players there could be in-game.
If I do something like print(playerlogger[8]) then there couldnot be 8 players in game, so what would I do?
Using the # operator you can get the amount of members a table has, let's say you have this table t = {"pizza", 2, false}, in this case ``#t` will return 3 since we got 3 members, and logiclly doing t[#t] will return the last member of the table since its index will be the same as the number of the table's members.
local playerlogger = {"plr1", "plr2", "plr4", "plr6"}
print(playerlogger[#playerlogger])
i hope you got the idea!
I already said that but ok
sorry this answer was too ez that i had to answer it xd
First of all, get the amount of players in the server using a for loop and a variable.
Second, you wanna do print(playerlogger[amountofplayers])
You just need to do #table. No need to do for loop.
I mean, he can, but i'd rather use arrays, no need to down vote this as it is another way if he doesn't know how to use arrays.
