What does unpacking and packing a table do?
I could not find a good answer online, what does table.pack and table.unpack do?

Unpack returns all the elements of the table as separate values:
{1, 2, 3} becomes 1, 2, 3
Pack doesn't exist in Lua 5.1 (which Roblox uses).
local t = {1,2,3}
print(t)
print(1, 2, 3)
print(unpack(t))
Output
table: internal_id 1 2 3 1 2 3
