Adding item to table returning nil?

#1

I’m trying to add a piece of data into a core table that stores all of a players stuff. This is the code

local Items = {Exterior = {}, Interior = {}, Landscape = {}, Furniture = {}}

-- Get the floor and wall textures 
for _, room in pairs(PlayersInterior.Build.InteriorElements:GetChildren()) do
	-- Save the floor and wall for each individual room number
	print(room.Floor) -- prints 'Floor'
	Items.Interior[room.Name].Floor = string.match(room.Floor.Texture.Texture, '%d+') -- ERROR HERE
	Items.Interior[room.Name].Walls = string.match(room.Wall.Texture.Texture, '%d+')
end

And I get this error
[attempt to index nil with ‘Floor’]
For this line

Items.Interior[room.Name].Floor = string.match(room.Floor.Texture.Texture, '%d+') -- ERROR HERE

Now I know room and room.Floor are their (not nil) so I’m assuming it has to do with this part

Items.Interior[room.Name].Floor

And if that’s the case how can I fix this? My intention is that line would turn this ‘Items’ table to look like so

local Items = {
    Exterior = {},
    Interior = {
        ['1'] = {Floor = 1234, Walls = 1234},
        ['2'] = {Floor = 1234, Walls = 1234},
        ['3'] = {Floor = 1234, Walls = 1234},
    },
    Landscape = {},
    Furniture = {}
}

‘rooms’ is basically a numbered folder which contains all the parts

Items.Interior[room.Name] evaluates to nil because it has no value. Just before doing that, set it to an empty table:

Items.Interior[room.Name] = { }

Is this what you’re looking for?

Items.Interior[room.Name] = { }
