Why won't these weapons go into the players backpack?

local plevents = {sword, sniper}
local chosen = plevents[1]

the "plevents" table has two items, sword and sniper. sword is 1, and sniper is 2. so if you do this

print(plevents[1])
print(plevents[2])

the output will be like this :

sword
sniper

But if you do this

local plevents = {sniper, sword}
local chosen = plevents[1]

Then sniper is 1, and sword is 2. so if you do this

print(plevents[1])
print(plevents[2])

The output will be like this

sniper
sword

Now using this code

print(math.random(1,#plevents))

is basically the same as this

print(math.random(1,2))

that is because the table "plevents" has 2 items and the output of the code above is this

1

or this

2

Now, using this code

print(plevents[math.random(1,#plevents)])

the output will be :

Sword

or

Sniper

Remeber plevents[1] is the sword plevents[2] is the sniper and that math.random(1,#plevents) is basically like math.random(1,2) the 2 in math.random(1,2) is the amount of items there is in the table "plevents" using it will either get you 1 or 2 now im gonna simplify it print(plevents[math.random(1,#plevents)]) =print(plevents[math.random(1,2)]) =print(plevents[1]) or print(plevents[2]) =Sword or Sniper Do you get it now? i hope so.
