Did I use 'table.Insert' correctly?
Here is the coding
function admin()
if msg:sub(1,6) == "admin " and isAdmin(spkr) then
vic = msg:sub(1,9)
if findPlayer(vic) then
table.Insert(vic, #admins)
end

All of the built-in Lua functions are lowercase. It's table.insert, not table.Insert.
The parameters to table.insert are (whichTable, whereInTable, whatThingToPutIn) (and the whereInTable is optional -- it defaults to the end of the table).
To add vic to the table admins, we would do
table.insert(admins, vic)
EDIT: I screwed up the order of whereInTable and whatThingToPutIn, thank you Perci1 for reminding me. (whereInTable is optional and so this mistake doesn't affect the actual code snippet here)

Is it not table.insert(whichTable, where, whatThingToPutIn)? Where where is optional of course. jakedies 315 — 10y

Can't you also do table:insert(whatThingToPutIn,where)? Perci1 4988 — 10y

Perci1: No. `a:b(c)` is sugar for `a.b(a,c)`, which would mean all tables would require a `insert` property for `t:insert` to work; that would defy the assumption that `{}` has no values in it anywhere. BlueTaslem 18071 — 10y

But you can do stringname:sub() instead of string.sub(), so why should it be different for this? Perci1 4988 — 10y

Try it out! Strings have those things built in, so it works for them -- they also don't actually have properties, it's just magic for them (("cat").sub will error) BlueTaslem 18071 — 10y
