--Me don't know how many ends.

To add values to a table you use table.insert with 3 parameters, the table you want to insert a value into, the position in the table you want your value to go to, and the value you want to insert into the table. Here's some examples:

local myTable = {1, 3, 4}
table.insert(myTable, 2, 2)

myTable now equals {1, 2, 3, 4}

local myTable = {1, 2, 3}
table.insert(myTable, #myTable + 1, 4) -- #myTable + 1 adds the value to the end of the table

myTable now equals {1, 2, 3, 4} Hope this helps!
