I dont know why this is not giving the length of the table. (i think its cuz its a dictionary but idk how to get length of it)

local itemsTotal = getToolConfig.itemsTotal -- a table

findTemplate:WaitForChild("Quantity").Text = #itemsTotal.."/"..Quantity

What does the table look like, it depends. I don’t know the difference between tables before I see them lol

im trying to see everytime they spawn a supply box and the way i just thought i could do it is if i add them into a table. (still learning how to code)

could you probably post your full script so I could try to better understand what the problem is? I’m a little confused on what the problem could be.

Could you print out the table when the event fires? So we can see what the table looks like.

#17

try printing #itemsTotal

(30char)

#18
