Is this even possible? For example say I have this code
local part1 = "hi"
local part2 = "hello"
for i = 1, 2 do
print("part"..i)
end
So basically I want it to print the Variable but that will literally just print "part1" and "part2". How can I make it print "hi" and "hello"??
There is not a really simple way to do this in Lua. Your best option is to have a table with string indices.
Here's an example:
local tbl = {
["part1"] = "hello";
["part2"] = "hello2";
["part3"] = "hello3";
}
for i = 1, 3 do
print(tbl["part"..i])
end
kingdom5 also suggested this as an option. However, it's better to use a table.
####I hope this helps. Have a great day scripting!
Technically you can with getfenv but that's just a hypothetical. Using tables is much better.
Yeah, kingdom5 mentioned that, but said it was not a good idea.

To the best of my knowledge, this is not possible. You could use a dictionary with string indices, though.
